Love what you do with spray foam... and BTW your videos are getting better and better in terms of production. Whoever you put in charge of that, is doing it well.
I am loving all you do with spray foam, I learn little new techniques with every video. I’ve taught art for around 15 years, and know that there are nuances of things we do by feel, or by “instinct”, and often don’t even realize every little thing when teaching, but you talk through so many details that would make me comfortable to try doing the thing, and that’s actually rare. So many tutorials I watch have at least one note of mystery, and I understand how/why, but you really are a natural teacher, and leave no mystery unturned. You always thoroughly explain choices, often “I plan to do xyz in the future, and that’s why I did this thing at this point in the process.” Even lacking mystery, it’s still so creative and no 2 versions of the same technique will be identical, even when it’s molded, the paint job offers “random” and unique results each time. Your encouragement that people try things and not worry about perfection is so great! Also, that wool roving is so great, because it’s actually organic it murders fake hair 73 times over.
Amazing what you can do with ordinary hardware supplies. Even though I watch you make it I am still so stunned by the results. Thank you for another great video truly an inspiration.
I love these quick and easy projects like this! First i was thinking zombie, then leather face, then Freddy when u put the red on then after the hair i was like Big Foot! Krampus! The possibilities are endless! Ive been working on a Alien Chamber Prop and Ticket Booth this weekend. I got a bunch of pallets and wood from my work. As well as these thick cardboard barrels that our glue comes in all for free. Deffinately gonna make a creepy tree like you made with the buckets and great stuff! Thanks for all you do and being you! You're Definitely one of my favorite You Tubers!!
What a cool mask and great way to make one. I’ll have to try it. I love the yarn hair idea. Same way as the spider and looks great for this purpose too! Thanks!
I made the spider last year, must have watched the video 1000 times lol. Don't know how to post a picture here otherwise I would. Keep up the videos they are great!
That was pretty damn cool....the only part I didn't care for was the purple under its eyes. It was too purple for me, maybe add a little black or brown shading to it (the purple area) and it would look alot better. Just my opinion, but still a great job with spray foam!
Really great how-to video Allen! The shape you came up with was creative and perfect for the subject "Zombie." Nice painting and hairing video too. I like the bushy brows and beard.
Just found you the other day when I was looking at options on how to make my own pumpkins and I saw your pumpkin from spray foam video. I haven’t been able to stop watching your videos ever sense lol. I instantly subscribed. I never knew I wanted to make a werewolf mask before now! Can’t wait to watch this video and see what other things I can make 😁
I so need to try this. I'm making plans for some creatures in my yard display. Something like this with some fake teeth would be perfect for one of my zombies I'm making out of pvc pipe and chicken wire
This guy reminds me of someone I knew that made special effect things for the entertainment industry for television, and film. I used to do some but, never got into making full masks. These projects are well done by Glenn, good job! I used to do paper mache head for molds: the paper mache works well because it gets hard enough to put latex or spray foam on it: same principle used by using a plastic wrap over the mold to keep the latex or foam from sticking to it. This is excellent work by Glenn, great job! 👍👊👏👏👏👏💯
Incredible! I just found your channel today and binged a few videos. You are amazing! I’m going to make a zombie mask. Ty for the inspiration. Happy Halloween.
This is also a great idea to locktite over basic foam heads to make your props unique . As a sculpting tool Ill dip a Q-tip in water ( it wont stick because its wet) the Qtip stick minus the cotton head is a great tool for eye wrinkles, gumlines etc
I used a tongue depressor- most Q tips have paper shafts and wont do well being wet for long- no need to wet it though as there is a skin over the foam and it it really is not sticky once the skin forms. Do you mean on another type of foam? I only use locktite this way.
Ill also add that patience is not my strong point. So the wet stick allowed me to shove some teeth into the foam then press down gums and lip lines. 5 to 7 minutes is a Looong time to wait. Lol
i like your style kinda like Halloween folk art versus Jordue realism with his latex masks. i think i will set aside the oil clays for abit and try spray foam
This was really cool! I hope to try this one day. The teeth were the only part that I would try something different. They looked really fragile. Thanks for sharing.
That is so awesome. Some time soon I'm going to have to try and make one. I take different masks and make them into a new mask. For example I made a cheap Jason mask into a scary clown mask
That inspired me to make a few masks for our online videos. We have a youtube channel where we decided we did not want our faces recorded...and chose to wear masks. This will be perfect! Thank you!.
Hello sir, can I start by saying what you can make and achieve out of a can of spray foam and imagination is astonishing. I intend on trying one very shortly whilst watching your tutorials. Thanku you for all of your time and efffort.
I love Home Depot projects. This one turned out amazing. Very well done, sir. Only issue with the video was I found myself constantly trying to turn up the volume on my phone (after it was all the way up). Also, you make your own blood now! Awesome! I have to ask if you're willing to reveal the recipe, but if not I totally get it. I've been doing the Elmer's glue and food coloring thing for a while but it's not waterproof. I've experimented here and there with things like silicone thinned with acetone and such, but I can't seem to nail it down. Anyhoo...amazing video and skills. Blown away watching this one despite seeing it done before on your skull. Do you have any links for the wool roving? Also, i could use a good link for faux hair too. As always, thanks for sharing 🤘💀
So I'm looking to make myself a Krampus and was going to use the link you provided to "The Woolery", however, it looks like the Gotland Top grey is out of stock. I was looking to go with the Corriedale or the Norwegian Top as a replacement. Do you recommend either one of these for a Krampus? If so, which one? I have a hard time finding hair, which is probably one of the reasons why I'm bald...lol 😂
for some reason the volume for me is so low I cannot hear you well. Did you say NOT wetting the cloth makes it stick? I believe you naturally but that seems anti intuitive to me. How hot do theses insulation foam masks get and how do you clean the inside? I ran a HH (Darkwrath Keep back in the the 2000s) and even with spraying the inside of the latex masks with alcohol every night after we shut down, I still had to throw them away at the end of October.
they will be warm, but you can add vent holes anywhere you want really, so its manageable. you could toss these every year and make a new one for $7, each time you make one youd get better at it! but we have one that is five years old actually
I have created many of my own props after watching many of your videos. I was recently looking for groups on facebook for the DIY people out there, I had no luck. I created my own group this morning. Do you mind if I share your site address on TH-cam?😊
Have you ever tried bulk foam, like used for large scale insulation ? Bulk quantities. That might be more economical than individual cans of Locktite Foam ?
Man bud, you weren't lying about control, damn near shot my project off the table. 😂 also a lazy Susan would help a lot. Project came out nice just need the paint. Also can I use automotive paint on this foam?
It’s amazing how that just came from a can of spray foam. You are a wizard
Wizzarrrd! thank ya! glad ya like it!

$6 zombie mask for the win!

It never ceases to amaze me how something starts off & seeing how it ends up. Great job, as always.
thats the plan!
It’s just so cool to watch you work and see the combination of talent and artistry that go into these!
i get by, but there are so many talented makers out there!
@@StiltbeastStudios and you're one of them!
You are genius! My dad would've love making this! 🥲 I'm going to make a spooky mask similar ❤❤❤
Thanks! Did you see the werewolf spray foam mask video, too? Lots of possibilities with this medium.
Amazing what you can do with ordinary hardware supplies. Even though I watch you make it I am still so stunned by the results. Thank you for another great video truly an inspiration.

Glen, you are inspirational and you have so much fun while doing your magic. Thank you for taking the time to show us these tricks of the trade!
My pleasure! I will tell Glen!
Awesome! When I get the courage to stick my hands to the foam I'll try this. Thanks!
do it! just wait for the skin to form!
You sir are a god with spray foam!! Amazing as always.
more of a tragic hero with foam lol
This is such a sweet mask made for a steal. Loved seeing this come to life!
it was also very fun!
The texture with the dry brush technique really makes this! The spray foam works really well for some gross textures. Awesome tutorial!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow! That spray foam had such a fun texture. Love what you did here.
Thanks so much! 😊
That was pretty damn cool....the only part I didn't care for was the purple under its eyes. It was too purple for me, maybe add a little black or brown shading to it (the purple area) and it would look alot better. Just my opinion, but still a great job with spray foam!
I like a bright color to pop the eyes- especially if the actor wears black eye makeup. but you paint yours any way you like, thats why its art.
Really great how-to video Allen! The shape you came up with was creative and perfect for the subject "Zombie." Nice painting and hairing video too. I like the bushy brows and beard.
Im in my bushy brows and beard phase lol
Very creative, Allen! I'm liking it!
Glad to hear it!
This man could make the props for an entire feature length film with just pool noodles and spray foam.
not like...a really good film.

HOLY COW THAT'S SO COOL. I WANT TO DO THIS. THIS WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN AS A WORKSHOP CLASS.
Im thinking about selling kits then doing a live video make along
@@StiltbeastStudiosGood idea !!
jeez allen congrats on nearly hitting 1 million subscibers you deserve it ive watched alot of your videos on corpsing and mask making
lol almost 100,000 no where near a million at this point. but thank you- it will be a milestone.
Wow, amazing! Thanks for sharing your talents with us all. You make incredible stuff!

Incredible! I just found your channel today and binged a few videos. You are amazing! I’m going to make a zombie mask. Ty for the inspiration. Happy Halloween.
make it a few days before you wear it so it can off gas completely. good luck and have fun!
I know that I’m not a better painter than you. You are awesome
I get by, but Im getting better every year
So much cheaper than buying one and the fun and time spent with my kids making some for Halloween will be great.thank you for posting
yeah!
So relaxing & mezmerizing to watch.
You're brilliant!
Glad you enjoyed it!
❤love, love your creepy amazing work!! Always give me great ideas for Halloween decorations. Thank u soooo much!

good to hear from you Jessie!
i like your style kinda like Halloween folk art versus Jordue realism with his latex masks. i think i will set aside the oil clays for abit and try spray foam
its so amazing as a medium- did you see my latest video the werewolf?
yes, shocking I'm sold on spray foam
love this! The teeth I think id give a go with rubbing them with sand paper to catch the paint.
No time! must make monsters!
@@StiltbeastStudios 🌩Ahahahaaa! its alive!
This was really cool! I hope to try this one day. The teeth were the only part that I would try something different. They looked really fragile. Thanks for sharing.
of course, make it your own- they are pretty solid though once the hot glue gums dried!
Very awesome as usual. It reminds me of a cross between Nightmare City and the Italian horror comic Wallestein.
nice references!
wow, made this look easy. And it turned out awesome.
Thank you! Cheers!
Best foam video you have done!!! Love it!!!!
thanks for commenting! I wanted to show a better sculpture this go around cause the possibility is there to do good work.
Love making things out of that foam. Really fun stuff gonna make a mask next thanks Alan.

Not at all the point of this video but that pumpkin on the table in the background looks sweet! I hope we get a video about it.
Maybe......
Oh yes, please !!!!!!

@StiltbeastStudios I have seen the werewolf vid it was very epic I loved it
Happy accidents! I love your work!

Dude! Great idea, I've been using this technique and your video gave me inspiration. Have you thought about trying a full suit. I kinda want to try.
that could work well as the rigid plates on a suit, but its not flexible
Damn that turned out awesome!
thank you, glad ou enjoyed it- I hope you subscribe!
I just found you!
LoL
THAT SOUNDED SCARY. LMAO
Thank you! And thank you for watching!
This is such a helper! From one can of spray foam, how many masks could I make that size?
pretty much its 1 can is 1 to 1.5 masks
Tony soprano is making masks in a monster shop , very nice masks 💙💀💀💀👽😎😀😯😉😈😈
Ive been called worse.
Wow 😲 such amazing work I love it
Thank you so much 😀

I love Home Depot projects. This one turned out amazing. Very well done, sir. Only issue with the video was I found myself constantly trying to turn up the volume on my phone (after it was all the way up). Also, you make your own blood now! Awesome! I have to ask if you're willing to reveal the recipe, but if not I totally get it. I've been doing the Elmer's glue and food coloring thing for a while but it's not waterproof. I've experimented here and there with things like silicone thinned with acetone and such, but I can't seem to nail it down. Anyhoo...amazing video and skills. Blown away watching this one despite seeing it done before on your skull. Do you have any links for the wool roving? Also, i could use a good link for faux hair too. As always, thanks for sharing 🤘💀
we will work on that! I cant share the formula as it is not mine, Rue came up with it. woolery.com/gotland-top-grey.html. www.gmbshair.com/51.html
Way to go Rue!
So I'm looking to make myself a Krampus and was going to use the link you provided to "The Woolery", however, it looks like the Gotland Top grey is out of stock. I was looking to go with the Corriedale or the Norwegian Top as a replacement. Do you recommend either one of these for a Krampus? If so, which one? I have a hard time finding hair, which is probably one of the reasons why I'm bald...lol 😂
for some reason the volume for me is so low I cannot hear you well. Did you say NOT wetting the cloth makes it stick? I believe you naturally but that seems anti intuitive to me.

That is correct. Not wetting the cloth makes it stick better. Less sliding off of the fibers.
they will be warm, but you can add vent holes anywhere you want really, so its manageable. you could toss these every year and make a new one for $7, each time you make one youd get better at it! but we have one that is five years old actually
Nice mask I have a question. What kind of paints do you use? Is it acrylic?
How long do spray foam masks last? What is the best way to make them last longer?
Great work
we have had one in our haunt for about five years now. They are actually pretty durable.
I have created many of my own props after watching many of your videos. I was recently looking for groups on facebook for the DIY people out there, I had no luck. I created my own group this morning. Do you mind if I share your site address on TH-cam?😊
please do! tell em I said go make stuff!
Yay Kevin !!! I hope your group does well !!!! ✌🏻❤️
Have you ever tried bulk foam, like used for large scale insulation ? Bulk quantities. That might be more economical than individual cans of Locktite Foam ?
I would love to see how you would do a pennywise head that blends with your face!!!!
just his big old forehead?
Man bud, you weren't lying about control, damn near shot my project off the table. 😂 also a lazy Susan would help a lot. Project came out nice just need the paint. Also can I use automotive paint on this foam?
you can use anypaint as the foam is hardy, but be careful about what you put on your face- Id rather use a paint that i know does not off gas.
Master of spray foam.
I dont know about master, I just love making masks!
