Make a spider for Halloween from pool noodles $60 

I used 13 foam noodles for this spider. I bought mine from

Are you kidding me! That's the best spider I have ever seen, you are very creative I have been watching you for years your the best so far,, happy halloween,

any other spider enthusiasts wanting to do this with perfect markings and articulation? this is seriously one of the best videos I've seen in a long time I feel like posting it to my insect group

Allen "The Wizard" Hopps. It's really annoying how you hide the magic wand and then pretend us muggles can duplicate your wizardry.

I jumped when one leg was touched and the other moved.... you absolutely brought him to live with the glazed eyes... amazing. 👏 👏 👏

One of the most realistic spiders I have ever seen! Definitely will give me nightmares for the next few days.

This is awesome

I love it!!! Came out Amazing! You should be "pretty happy" with it (as you mentioned in the video). It would be cool if you made your own "jumping spider" out of this too. Would love to see that little add on. Also, can you post the links for the flocking supplies? And, can you weather proof the flocking with spar urethane? First time for me hearing about flocking...Meet The Flockers...lol 😂...as always, thank you!🤘 💀

Impressive 👍

Great job!!!

He looks amazing...however that IS my phobia!!

I’m so stoked, I already have a bundle of about three dozen pool noodles from last season out in the garage. I own a small circus themed haunt, and this will be SO perfect for our “World’s Largest Spider” scene.

Your imagination astounds me! Thank you for showing some of it not sped up. My old eyes thank you too 🤓

There's just something really convincing about this when you take the time to get the proportions right. So many of the giant spider builds are so fantastical that they get out of that realism zone. Well done and thank you! I learned a lot!

I'm saving this video for next Halloween. I wanna do all spider decor next year. Thank you for always having the best tutorials. 💙

Wow Allen awesome spider! The flocking brought it to a whole new level of WOW! Thanks for sharing!

This is incredibly awesome! Did not think I’d like it al the end, but, you stated painting. Had me hooked! Thanks for sharing this.

WOW! I love the pool noodle technique. I'm going to use that method to build spiders from now on. Never seen flocking before. Neat. Absolutely love the end result.

Absolutely cool my husband and I can't wait to start our spider army over a long winter thank you !

Thank you so much for your tutorials, your such an aspiration to the haunt community.
