Halloween 2021 is almost here!! 🎃 We make lots of DIY Halloween Props for our yard haunt and our new project is a drunken pirate skeleton with an unquenchable thirst! Inspired by Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean ride, this Halloween decoration is the perfect addition to any home haunt or haunted house. Bartholomew “Barty” is an easy prop to build using a life-sized skeleton, a fountain pump, and a barrel. We dressed up the scene and outfitted our pirate with thrift store finds from Goodwill®.
The great thing about this project is that you can use the pond fountain drinking trick to fit in with any DIY Halloween theme. You could create a zombie drinking toxic sludge, a vampire drinking blood, or a witch drinking a magical potion.
If you'd like to make your very own DIY halloween pirate drinking skeleton , we encourage you to give this easy Halloween project a try!

Thanks for watching! You are all awesome.
-
"Looks like he's drinking fire [...]" That's a great idea right there... simulate a stream of fire with LEDs and glas fibers or similar light transmitting fibers.
-
Every pump has a Head limit. Which is how high in the air it can pump a vertical tube of water. By lifting the bucket you essentially shorten the height it is pumping up.
-
This is probably the best goodwill ive ever seen. That’s a lot of stuff!
-
Really cool. By the way, the effect on the ride is actually achieved by rotating a sparkly ribbon by one end. It's mainly because real water wouldn't be that visible from that distance. Yours looks way better in the day and up close.
-
The scariest part of all this is someone actually wore those pants. You guys have such an imagination and the ability to make it happen.
-
I was wondering why the Goodwill looked so neat and had such nice inventory, and then they said "Thanks, Goodwill, for sponsoring this video." Great project!
-
This is the coolest idea ever. I love how happy the skeleton looks to be chilling with his mates, drinking wine he probably looted from someone's basement.
-
I thought the end scene was hilarious - all his friends are just sitting casually in proper chairs around a set table and then there is Bart chillin’ in a trough. The other skeletons: “we don’t know him”. You guys did a fantastic job! Thanks for the great video!
-
Wow! So awesome!!!
-
I kind of want to do a Last Unicorn version of this with a fireplace facade, Grandfather Clock, unicorn and Fire Bull. That sounds Halloweeny, right?
-
We built one of these for our haunt this year, and a few days ago a dad & small child were admiring our decorations. The kid - I'm guessing around 5? 6? - took one look at it and exclaimed, "That looks like the Wicked Makers!!" Now there's a dad who's raising his son right 🙂
-
You could probably have the return tube going up the path of the water flow, like with the floating faucet fountains. That way you wouldn't need to worry about hiding the tubing along the arm.
-
Never clicked on a prop video so fast in my life. NEED.
-
Oh heck yes! Wearing my Sea of Thieves T-shirt right now as I watch this. This is a fantastic project build
-
Great job, J&J! Turned out fantastic!
-
Awesome! I am impressed on how the skeleton was aged with the wood stain. The other two skeletons would have looked good stained as well, and maybe an eye patch on one :)
-
I had a similar idea to this, but thought I’d do a skeleton spitting back in to the cauldron he was being cooked in by a witch! Not sure how it will turn out, but it’ll be interesting to see. Great video 👍🎃👻
-
Great idea well executed, but... why did you route the water tube up his arm? Wouldn't it have been better to put the tube into the bottle via it's neck. That way the tube would have been invisible. Similar to 'floating tap' water features.
-
I LOVE THIS IDEA SOOOOO MUCH! We actually did a Pirate Porch theme for several years in a row before we started changing it up. So we still have a ton of pirate decor leftover. I've already planned a "Sleepy Hollow" theme for this year, but NEXT YEAR I'm totally tackling this. Thank you guys for the inspiration. You're the best!
