Out of all the high end videos out there this is the first one that literally walks you step by step...showing the parts at Loews, and then the pieces laid out on the floor is genius ...for those of us that are beginners this is a very clear walk through...now I dont feel so lost in doing this!

That sounds exciting!
Awesome! This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Literally right down to the Scream costume 🙂 I just can't wait till my robe is ready! I ordered a custom made one.
AWESOME!!!! This is so cool!!!! I am going to attempt this to make a Jason Voorhes for my electric chair!
Nice idea on how to make the hand and connect it to the arm easily :)
This is such a good video! I can’t wait to make my own! Thankyou!
Excellent instructional video!
This is easy to follow!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial!! 😱👍

Great idea for the hands I'm definitely going to do something similar but bulk it up a bit more. I also like the concept of having ghostface with a phone but i think he should have been bulked up a but more
Very interesting. Highly helpful.
Great video, good place to start.

Really great tutorial and the pool noodle idea is great. Some tips that might be helpful to people that werent mentioned in the vid. I recommend getting more footage of pvc pipes if you’re trying to make a character like Jason Voorheez. Hes like 7 feet tall so just add on what you think you’ll need. I mostly used this vid as a rough blueprint of mine and it worked out great. happy halloween!

I like that idea and will definitely get some of those for future projects.
Only one criticism. They all look great, except that ghost faces straight arm is way too long, his hand looks like it is hanging down by his knee. These look like easy frames to build. I may have to try a few for my props. I especially like the rib cage addition to yours. Thanks for sharing.
I will do this
EXXX~cellent.... (in a scary voice.) (Thanks!)
This is awesome! What’s the wire you use for the hands?

I don't remember the exact number, but it was not stranded. It was just some stiff small roll of single wire. Not coated
I'm gonna do this once I get ahold of the 25th anniversary movie edition Ghostface costume. I wanna just have him up in my room. For the torso, I'll use an old pillow to bulk it out. And the head I'll use will be a Styrofoam head covered in duct tape. With a black morph mask underneath so you don't see the duct tape.
Do you need to glue them together I mean like I don’t have a lot of room to put the stuff so I’d rather just put it in a small box

What was the price for all the materials like the connectors pool noodles and pvc pipes
perfect vid but i got the wrong sized pvc piping, damn
Good job. I do something similar. For the head I use foam heads. Stick the pvc right into the head holds pretty good.

I had a couple of comments about the foam head. I will definitely go that route in the future. I had that crappy cardboard left over from another project, so it worked out but I have plans to make some more.
What wire did you use to make the "bones" for the hands?
What kind of glue could we use if we plan on deconstructing for storage?
@platinumdragon7

If you want to make it so you can deconstruct it and reconstruct it you may want to drill holes and put screws through them. Then parts you don’t want to take apart use plumbing adhesive
I am sorry, I bought all the material but did you do another video showing the measurements of each piece?

Around 5’10” but it can easily be made taller or shorter by changing the length of the legs

There's sites online where you can get them even in off-season. foamnoodles.com/ has them. If you don't want to use foam noodles you can also put plastic grocery bags around them and wrap them in duct tape. Anything to add some bulk.
Might as well buy an inflatable thats 6' tall for $15
Nice, but be careful, someone might try and steal your masks👍
