Sometimes a new pretty skull is too clean, symmetrical and familiar. You can make these forever and each one would turn out different. People see a lot of masks and props at Halloween but they are impressed by and remember the original ones.💀

The Blind Dead series is one of my all time favorites. I made Blind Dead style zombies/skeletons that I have put out every year for Halloween for over ten years now, complete with the "Blind Dead" sound effects taken from the movie. Great tutorial!

Such a terrific tutorial! You continue to be the master of finding new, better and weirder uses for stuff than what it was originally intended for!

Thats so awesome! Happy Halloween!

About ten years ago I signed up for a year long class in makeup/hair/costume for film, tv and theatre. Sadly, after four months I dropped out due to serious creative differences between me and the teacher of the class (which I felt was not taking it seriously and not doing a very good job). Anyway, during that time we were occasionally working with liquid latex - a material I had used before - and I kept thinking that there should be some way to make a full mask using that..... But as it is liquid AND contains ammoniac it never got past the not-so-bright-idea stage. But this.... My god! This is almost a step-by-step of how I envisioned making a mask back then!! Spray foam. Huh! Who'd have thunk it! Awesome video! Thank you! Oh, and an extra gold star for that really clever way of making super realistic looking teeth!!
