    Well this video needs to be nominated for an Emmy. It inspired me to make one of my own and I live in a high rise building. Your vision and craftsmanship is incredible, you captured the authenticity in that pumpkin. Awesome job!
  • This is Hollywood quality! Harry Potter vibes. The kids in your neighborhood live next to the wizard of Halloween 🎃😲
  • @loveandland
    Love that you showed your mistakes and what you would do differently!
  • The hot knife could have been used to do the entire project. We've made hundreds in all sizes. It is cleaner (keeps the foam dust out of the environment) , easier, quicker and a much more efficient process all around. Nice pumpkin!
  • @ddylla85
    Inspired by Hollywood Haunter?

    Great job!

    You can do all the shaping using the hot wire, including making the ribs (makes much less mess). You should only need to use the horse brush for the final surface. Then hit it with a heat gun or propane torch to eliminate the fuzzy balls. Then paint with “oops” returned paint, dark color (then light color). As soon as you paint use bedsheet or other cloth and cover entire pumpkin and paint over as you go. It gives it a strong skin. You can then sprinkle it with mortar mix while the paint is still wet (will creat a stronger skin) let dry and they paint with lighter or darker paint (to ensure proper coverage) then add coats of paint until you can no longer see the material) finally paint the last coats with the desired color.
