This man should be teaching at Schools. I absolutly love to watch and hear him. His charm and wits.. ..fantastic
This is the FIRST time I am subscribing to a web-site. I must admit that these videos are wonderful.... entertaining as well as instructive in a step-by-step way. At age 66, you are encouraging me (a former accountant) to do something I have wanted to do for the past 30 years.... express my creative side. Thank you.

I remember watching your show around Halloween and it gave me a warm feeling of joy. I love Ed's personality and humor, so glad you're making these types of videos
I'd love to see a Monster Lab episode on making foam masters out of mother molds and how to make production molds off of those masters. That's something i've wanted to know how to do for awhile, and it's a topic that you don't see covered very often when it comes to tutorials like this.
Hey Everyone! More Monster Labs on the way! What topics, characters, and techniques do you want to see us delve into? Thanks so much for the feedback!

DistortionsUnlimited How about making a skin for a head of a large creature prop. The process of making the skin with a mouth that can be moved so later on you can drop it on a animatronic and have a mechanism moving the mouth

Does the clay get hard when creating the plaster mold? Or does it stay soft? And I would love to learn more about painting techniques and what paints you suggest using. I know you've done a video on that, the Alien Zombie but I'd love to see you go deeper into painting the finished product
You sir are the first in the world to ever make me face palm, shake my head, eye roll, then laugh my butt off at the crack joke..great tutorial

Can't thank you enough for teaching this! I've been wondering how it's done. You're THE BEST!
This would to be cool to fill with foam and add some wires in the limbs👍
ED IS BACK...... 👍👍👍
The first time I subscribed to your channel was back in 2016. Still a fan! Keep em coming
Outstanding.
Love ya Ed! You are an inspiration. Starting in your apartment.. you are one of the greats! I hope to meet you one day!
i found this video by accident.......SO GLAD I did it! This is the very best lesson on how to make a two parts mold, and I will follow it in my "beginner sculptures" step by step! Thank you so much! I will let you know my results.
Seems like it takes a lot of strength in the hands to shape the clay. Love it, he is cute and scary.
I'm so glad I'm a Greeley native ..I'm so looking forward to Monster Day!! My new favorite holiday!!!
I am absolutely going to be doing this soon, and I am going to create my own props!!! Thank you for this awesome video!

Love these videos man! I love how you show techniques for the "common man" so to speak; please keep up the great work!
I so enjoyed this video. I do jewelry. so making a two part mold like this is probably not something I will ever do , but it was fun and informative and I was also glad to see that you used the proper safety equipment. Thank you for the fun. Lynne

Hi Kitasia! Well, this one worked out...but normally it's true!
That was a great tutorial of explanation and details. awesome as always Ed.
Hi. What kind of latex do you use? Yours seems "foamier" than the slush mold latex I've used; the softness looks great.
Good to see you again!
Thanks for sharing! Awesome!
Awesome Ed!!! sometime can you teach us how to do foam filled props? Thanks!

I really liked this video... was a bit long but that's what the arrow keys are for! LOL :)

Be cool to see you make the original critters.
Is the latex just regular Halloween store liquid latex or is it a specific latex for making props? All I know is I would definitely like to make some kind of critter with my monster-making skills. Mine are only ceramic monsters for now, I've been wanting to learn how to make this stuff!

No this is casting latex only used for masks and props while liquid latex is used for short term makeup effects

I didn't quite get it how you poured the 2 halves (Latex) . . it seemed like one step . . but I suppose you waited then poured the 2nd half? . . . maybe i missed something . . very nice job, lots of talent congrats.

How come you didn't put a dam of clay around the bottom of the sculpture to hold in the plaster around the bottom better? Also burlap works great in place of hemp.
Love this series. Do you guys do any work with Silicone masks? Maybe some planned tutorials in working with them?
