If you guys do start doing animatronics, got an idea for you. Weeping Angel on a rotating base. Put a motion sensor in it with a 3 second delay. People walk past it, it slowly rotates towards them. If it's an animatronic, have it pull its arms down from its face as it rotates. They walk past it on the way out and the senor triggers again to put it back to default for the next group.

Thanks for watching! There are some other creators who did even longer Transworld walkthroughs if you want to see more stuff from the show. Stay Wicked! 🤘💀

[DistortionsUnlimited]

Thanks so much for coming by the Distortions booth Wicked Makers, we enjoyed the conversations. Great job on this Best of Transworld videos! Looks like you had a wonderful time and wishing you all the best on your upcoming projects and video. Hello from all of us at Distortions.

This was really fun! So glad you were able to check it out and thanks for taking us along. Can’t wait to see what you’re inspired to do next!!

[rebekahg]

Oh man, I loved watching this. I got so inspired just seeing it- and now I kind of want to make my own mask!

I do want to point out that the werewolf puppet is a rig that's been functional over the years at many top-tier Halloween attractions, such as Halloween Horror Nights. I'm so happy it got a spotlight here, it's such an awesome scare!

i'm 54 and the halloween paraphenelia they have available now is just unbelievable. even the cheapo props at rite aid are far beyond what was available when i was a kid.

[nannards]

I work at a sign shop where we make large durable HDU foam letters. We use multiple coats of Drylock to make them ultra durable. They roll it on instead of brushing to get even coats, and they do like 4-5 coats for maximum durability. This is how you make foam props that people can crawl on.

[jezreelakemilly]

Here in Brazil we don't have this huge Halloween culture, so seeing you guys showing all these new and cool things is super amazing. I would love to see more details of the creative process of these artists, like the one that produces the masks in a more artisanal way and those that make those realistic people.

[JackedUpBuilds]

I loved meeting y’all there at Transworld!! I’m so glad to see y’all had a great time and enjoyed a lot of the stuff there! Can’t wait to see what ideas y’all have gotten from there because I’ve sure gotten a lot more thank last year!! Again so nice to meet y’all and stay safe!!

[Firegen]

I can't until one day your work is presented there.

Seeing you build one from scratch would be insane. I'd watch the heck out of that series.

[Lydia_Swenson]

Oh my gosh! At 3:31 I was like…”gosh that guy looks super familiar” and then it hit me like a ton of bricks, he was a contestant on a body painting show I used to watch years ago. Glad to see he’s still doing it! 😂

[roberto_]

Omgggg transworldddd hope y’all had an amazing time!!! Stay wicked everyone!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[sleepyhollowo]

it’s so crazy how much a flashing light can help the motion look more realistic!! such a cool place, although i think i’m a little too high anxiety to ever actually attend so this is a great vid to experience it through haha!

[hallucinationscreations]

Thanks for showing our booth! Our DIY Mechanisms are made exactly for the “Maker” in mind! 🧟‍♂️

[davidfromtexas]

This looks like a blast. We've always decorated our house for all holidays but Halloween is my favorite. Its nice to see, even a few, animatronics, that are not terrifying. I love seeing the little kids come to our house trick-or-treating. I want to give them a scare, not scar them for life. Props for the Eye of the Beholder shirt. I played that game when I was in college.

[HellBettyDana]

I have to add that Morris Costumes has the best customer service. I had an animatronic that was long discontinued and it broke. There were no more replacements so they basically sent me two old armatures to scavenge parts from. I was able to fix my prop with gears from both.

[HalloweenEye]

What an awesome video and edit! Great seeing you both at the show. Best wishes on all your future projects!

[naenae]

Thank y’all for the flashing lights warning ! Us epileptics appreciate it

[JodouTR]

TIL there's a convention for my wife and I to attend next year. Thanks for the exposure!

[brianahawkins]

I love the scare factory! My favorite part is where Pumpkin head looks perfect in giant scarecrow, tree monster, or ghost 7:50 - 8:50
This is why I want to make Pumpkin Head into a custom doll because after seeing some movies and posters I was quite disappointed on how he looked from
a gargoyle, from Gremlin like alien, but these version are way better. I wish you guys good luck on your collab.
