Back with more Halloween Tombstones. We're making sturdy wind proof Halloween tombstone decorations with plywood. These homemade large heavy duty DIY Halloween graveyard props are the perfect DIY Halloween decor. Instead of carving foam DIY tombstones we decided making tombstone decorations for our spooky Halloween graveyard out of strong, sturdy and longer lasting material. If you are building Halloween fake gravestones or easy Halloween foam tombstones for a scary cemetery scene then check this out. This video shares a close look at how we made these heavy duty plywood Halloween tombstone DIY props for a creepy and spooky cemetery Halloween display or yard haunt. We made these three examples for a cosplay photo op scene. You could always add funny tombstone sayings and epitaphs after you build these with a router or Dremel tool. The old overgrown gravestones also come with matching cemetery columns and walls. Which tombstone WOOD you make? Would you just purchase the cheap foam Halloween tombstones each year from Walmart? Or make DIY Halloween tombstones out of cardboard. Thanks for watching!

OMG... This is the BEST Tutorial I have ever seen on ANY Subject... It was Clean... Fast... and Easy to Follow... I especially love the BASE Idea... I'm getting ready to make a SIGN and am afraid of someone stealing it... You have a great ideas... I love you and your wife's other videos... I have worked in the FILM Industry and started out with PROPS.. When I grow up, I want to be like you two.

Thank you so much for the kind words :)

Wood Head Stones are totally Kool. They last longer.

@just_a_nother_Matt_on_YouTube 7 лет назад

Just a tip: go to your local hot tub dealer and ask if they have any old hot tub covers that they don't want and then use the hi-density foam to carv your tombstones.

@HollywoodHaunter 7 лет назад

matt Fiscus hey Matt that is a really great idea to get free foam. People are giving hot tubs away all the time. Thanks for the comment it has us thinking now 🤔

@kevinfinkel5536 7 лет назад

Those hollow bases are great locations for lighting, foggers, sound or power strip storage.

@justagerman140 5 лет назад

Flying tombstones do sound kinda cool though tbh

@roncrandall 8 месяцев назад

I think a combination of the plywood and foam tombstones would ve good as well. The plywood would add the weight while the foam makes it easier to add age and epitaphs to. Thanks for the video and idea!

@bransonhauntedhills 7 лет назад

I like to use both. Foam stone with a wooden base. It gives it the weight so it doesn't go flying away and you can still carve into the foam. I just had someone give me a tombstone made from concrete with packing peanuts in it. It looks really heavy but it's not. Just the right weight. (it is small) I love how you made these stones. The leaning one is my favorite.

@ApocalypseMeow84 7 лет назад

I can relate! My lunch breaks at work during the summer consist of me drawing my haunt ideas at my desk.

@surfcurry 3 года назад

So cool!!!!! Love this diy permanent decorations, great job , great video

@HollywoodHaunter 3 года назад

Thank you so much!

@sillysausage72 4 года назад

Is... that... is that a tombstone up there?!🤣 Great video once again. That crooked one looks really cool!

@bronxturtle2 6 лет назад

Great work.. Yesss plywood ones

@HollywoodHaunter 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@ranzamaceanruig 6 лет назад

Yes, I do know EXACTLY what you're talking about! By the way, this is a brilliant idea. They look great! Just the heavy base alone is a brilliant idea, and you could even combine it with a foam tombstone if you wanted. Thanks for posting this!

@HollywoodHaunter 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@John-cy9nf 5 лет назад

I loved this video. I was watching it in between putting decoration touches on my home haunt. My wife yelled from the other side of the haunt , "We dont need anymore tombstones". Mine are constructed with 2 pieces of MDF and 2×4 scraps. I then monster mudded them and place them into the ground using rebar. It keeps them safe and sound in 35 knot winds! Also the 3/4 inch MDF stops vandals from destroying them.

@peterrivney552 2 года назад

They both have there prod and cons ... Plywood separates the laminate sections I made up a few and painted with that Graber effect and had them stored in the shed and they started to fall apart ... But still better than foam this was a very good video...

@waitwhat5931 3 года назад

You are passionate about your tombstones! A++++++

@Beerbones928 5 лет назад

This channel is rad as hell

@TheHikingDead 7 лет назад

I use both wood and foam, both have their pros and cons. I've even repurposed old tower speakers and turned them into tombstones. That was 8 years ago and I still use them in my home haunt. Foam is definitely quicker, but wood holds up a lot better over time

@ToilandTroublesDIY 6 лет назад

Awesome end result with the tombstones! I love the hidden base feature for sandbag storage.

@Syra_Sven Год назад

This video is informative and funny. I have a feeling this guy and I would be friends if he was my neighbor. I am fussy and a little OCD about my halloween decor too. ;) :D

@KrazeeKraftZ Год назад

In Australia, foam is almost more expensive than cheap plywood so!!! Love your plywood ones!!

@TheHauntedManor 4 года назад

Very helpful video and funny too. Great job!

@randywilson4529 4 года назад

Awesome Video and Really Cool Tombstones, This is my first year setting up a Small Halloween graveyard Display so I went with the Foam Tombstones that i got at a garage sale, but I will Definitely be doing some Plywood Tombstones next year for my graveyard Display and adding a few extra things to it. Thanks for sharing

@WhispersFromTheDark 2 года назад

I think both have their place. But I would prefer wooden for longevity. But for cost and ease of making, foam would be easier.

@sabrinawny 6 лет назад

This is awesome - great work. Wish I was handy to get my tombstones to stay put.

@HollywoodHaunter 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@HalloweenMakerProps 6 лет назад

Love them great colour choice!

@Warlord2029 7 лет назад

Those are some serious anti-theft tombstones. I feel you on the tombstone gliders had that exactly happen last Halloween when a freak windstorm went through my yard the night before and noticed the neighbors yard was decorated....WITH MY STUFF! LOL anyway great vid you had made me laughing good at the end since I knew how you were feeling.

@razorsedge5145 6 лет назад

Those are wicked cool. I will be using this technique for next Halloween. Awesome job!!!!

@Demon666x3 7 лет назад

Wood tombstones are awesome! A bit time consuming but awesome.

@mikearangio6931 Месяц назад

Awesome. Exactly what I’m looking for a cosplay idea

@icaliver 7 лет назад

Wow, I really want to do something like this too and That empty space is a good idea, you could rig some spooky blue lightings.

@HauntedAddictions 7 лет назад

AHH you guys do such an amazing job with everything! Gonna have to try constructing one of these babies next year.

@jerrymc777 7 лет назад

Another Killer video DIY! I wish you guys were my neighbors, although I'd wanna marry you both...LOL

@tricia1234ish 6 лет назад

Great tombstones! I live in a windy area where the foam ones are a struggle to keep up so I'm very excited to make these! Thanks for the inspiration!

@scubaspook1 7 лет назад

Great job. When you get old or lazy like me, foam tombstones are much easier to deal with.

@Jibby 7 лет назад

Woah!! I was just binge-watching your old videos and then you uploaded!

@HollywoodHaunter 7 лет назад

Sweet!!! :)

@stevenc2723 4 года назад

Im tired of building foam tombstones.. they dont seem to last long. So Im using your video as inspiration to build some that will last. Thanks for the many ideas.

@rainrose1209 5 лет назад

This is better for the environment but looks so good.

@maleahlock 5 лет назад

Three in the morning touch ups are my preventable, yet persistent poltergeist. I related so well to your end of video spiel.

@wickedpowder708 7 лет назад

Glad to see you guys back 😉 do the best of both worlds.... plywood bases for foam stones. I wouldn't mind seeing more tombstone build vids. My goal for this year is to complete a Celtic cross for the front yard.

@HollywoodHaunter 7 лет назад

Those are so cool. We have always wanted to make one too, they can be time consuming but so worth it.

@lddcavalry 7 лет назад

Foam is easier for me but for something that's in a photo ops I think this is a great idea. One of the reasons I don't live in Southern California is the heat and here I am in the north west and it's 106. Missing the rain now.

@bassanoboy27 4 года назад

I sure others may have the same idea but what combining both foam and wood. Using the wood to build the fundamental part of the tombstone while carving the front out of foam. Upside too you can change the fronts out whenever you want.

@elizabethlovett4318 2 года назад

I'm looking into tombstones that aren't foam but I'm not sure if I'll buy or make them yet. Buying seems easier but I see the fun in customizing them myself. I just don't foam. Bought 3 foam tombs last year and before the 31st 2/3 were broken by the wind. I'll be keeping this video in mind. Thanks for this! :)

@justindodson7660 3 года назад

LMFAO! "I'll be out there at 3 in the morning touching it up... you guys know what I'm talking about.. mmhhmm, mmhhmm" get the f*** out of my head! FUNNY SHIT DUDE!

@MillPondFrightNight 7 лет назад

Beautiful tombstones!! I was laughing so hard at the end. I am so guilty of the little blemish obsessiveness!! lol

@VanOaksProps 7 лет назад

Great job on those tombstones. It's always cool to see different ways to build things, since so many of us get stuck thinking there's only one way to build props (myself included). Also love the color you guys went with!

@HollywoodHaunter 7 лет назад

VanOaksPropFoundry Thanks Derek

@DRACUL1964 7 лет назад

Awesome plywood tombstones, I may combine plywood and foam. Great idea!!!

@f2535 7 лет назад

What about a hybrid foam/plywood tombstone? You could make the base with the door for weight and attaching lights, then attached a detailed foam upper some way so that you can have the best of both. No flying foam tombstones, and they might even be easier to store since you could stack bases one place and headstone another stack.

@colinlaybourn354 7 лет назад

As someone who has never made foam ones..... I'd probably say these look better. But all your tombstones look ridiculously good so I'll end up copying both. Brilliant video as usual 👍👍👍

@JOHNJ0HN9111 7 лет назад

look at the wood master!!! mastering all that wood!!!!

@HollywoodHaunter 7 лет назад

LOL!!!

@cathleenpearson320 2 года назад

Love your video, great tutorial and hilarious

@HollywoodHaunter 2 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@scottrousseau496 5 лет назад

I've used wood-backed foam which helps with the weight. Makes a great base. Use foam on the face of the tombstone. This way I can fancify the look easier!

@twinoaksmanorhaunt9594 7 лет назад

Amazing job, I love the shapes of these tombstones. Next set of tombstones I make will have to be done like these.

@HollywoodHaunter 7 лет назад

Thanks, it's always difficult for us to narrow down a design for tombstones because there are so many different ones. It makes you want to make a ton of them.

@LilWera 7 лет назад

I'm so jealous of all those tools lol...they look amazing!!!

@Cutelatinguy2 6 лет назад

These are fantastic!!

Well done and welcome back!

@bethschuler463 7 лет назад

these are by far the best tombstones I've ever seen. Chris, you are one brilliant craftsman. I will definitely be trying to replicate these. Josh Kirk

@HollywoodHaunter 7 лет назад

+beth Schuler thankyou very much Josh i really appreciate the kind words, they were alot of fun to make.

@ravenblonde 7 лет назад

Awesome tombstones! Love your videos 🎃

@vivianamacias-leyva4863 7 лет назад

do more stuff for halloween i am so happy people are posting so early yasssssssss new person here i am glad

@brettbarnard2563 7 лет назад

Awesome as usual!

@loralu490 7 лет назад

OMG...i totally do the same thing with my props. They have to be perfect and I always point out the flaws because I don't want anyone to see the flaw and think I didn't see the flaw. So i just fix it. i try to walk away from the flaw, but I just can't! LOL!!!

@houseonhauntedmill1786 7 лет назад

Very cool! I'm so glad to see you guys making Halloween stuff but I'll be even happier when you're making stuff for your own yard. 🎃

@ntbarone 6 лет назад

So call me crazy. But I'm already planning on Halloween decorations and its only May! Found a construction site of a new home being built with a bunch of lumber in a trash pile this evening and didn't realize I was trespassing til the Cops showed up and gave me a warning! Fortunately they let me drive off with all the scrap plywood and lumber so ive got a huge pile sitting in my garage! Can't wait to get things started! Great video man. I'm gonna try and follow what you did here witht the tools I have. Alreadyb getting other items like low lying fog and lighting ready.

@Paul_C83 2 года назад

Great work they're fantastic

@by_katrin 4 года назад

These are so cool! Very very nice work! Best wishes from Switzerland, yours truly Katrin

@horses2by 3 года назад

Awesome ideas thanks for sharing 🎃💀🧟‍♀️👹🧛‍♀️☠️

@blakehuska 7 лет назад

I personally like the plywood because in South Dakota and we get up to 70 MPH winds in the fall and will knock the tombstones over

@elizul1221 2 года назад

Lmfao!!! Jajajaja the ending is sooooo me!!!!!

@Timotheus157 5 лет назад

Plywood grave markers are great looking, strong, and durable long term. One can use foam attached to the front for easily carved detail.

@BlanckMortuary 4 года назад

Exactly what I did with mine.

@TheSteveAS 7 лет назад

I hear all your concerns about wear and tear, durability and theft-proofing. That's why I make all my tombstones out of granite slabs. And for added realism, I bury real caskets underneath. With dead people in them. For realism. That, and also because I work at a cemetery.

@KandiceC 3 года назад

Have you considered selling some of your caskets/people on etsy?

@lancer525 3 года назад

Been putting out tombstones and other decor for nearly 30 years, and have never had one piece ever even moved. Where do you live, Kabul or something?

@KrazeeKraftZ Год назад

Omg the more tombstones I have the more I have to store!!! LoL

@Sg-bg7xp 5 лет назад

Damn. I wish you guys lived by us. My kids would love this.

@Mike-B-58 7 лет назад

Those look Awesome!!! At my age I use a two wheeler more and more putting up the haunt so those would be great. Still would have to put them on a lower shelf though. lol You guys do such fantastic work I think you should sell at Transworld. (Then I'd get to visit with you!! )

@Sandcem 7 лет назад

those are some serious tombstones! even used T Nuts! sorry I had to say it lol

@Jacobwood-qh5me 10 месяцев назад

Good job man🎃👻🕷🕸

@inkedon3513 5 лет назад

The decorative ocd is real lmao I totally agree no one else notices but it eats at your soul because you are ever aware of it's presence

@jasperjanderson 7 лет назад

Those are really lovely designs!

@HollywoodHaunter 7 лет назад

Thanks Jasper we think they would look even better with your projections on them 😉

@jasperjanderson 7 лет назад

You know, we can probably make that happen...

@rhondamurray7210 4 года назад

Like the wood better because the last for years. Take a hollogram Halloween Picture and glue it to the oval one.

@Shorty4241987 6 лет назад

SO COOL!

@backyardgrill-a7640 3 года назад

Both are awesome 👌.

@csfxmakeup1274 6 лет назад

Love it

@BlanckMortuary 4 года назад

I built two dozen or more of these. Unfortunately, the rain caused some issues. I then stripped them down and coated them in resin. I also made them hybrid by adding 1" pink foam to the front for epitaphs and then coating with drylock.

@Edward_Rogue 3 года назад

It's all about Halloween. I sure do know what you are talking about.

@doug197569 7 лет назад

Love the wood tombstones better. Thats what i make mine out of. I also use foam glued to the wood to get extra detail

@John-mh6mi 2 года назад

Great thanks!

@SkarloeyBoi 7 лет назад

It's a cool idea. Also when will you get back to stuff like, the witches cottage?

@anthonyfigueroa1660 4 года назад

Very cool!

@talk2kev 5 лет назад

Your video inspired me to build some wooden tombstones. I like how they are turning out I used a router to carve out epitaph we have Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers next marker maybe Freddy Krueger. The question I have for you two is about security . How do you keep the graveyard or headstones from being stolen. Thanks love the channel you guys make great props.

@HollywoodHaunter 5 лет назад

So here are a couple ideas that we have done in the past. One is to drill holes somewhere in the prop and run your extension cords etc. in and out through everything so that if someone was to try and swipe something it would be complicated because everything is connected to each other if that makes sense. You could also lag screw or install an eyebolt to the prop and attach some steel cable wire rope with clips and u-bolts to a tree or something stationary. I set up something like this in one of our large pumpkin videos if your interested. Thanks for watching.

@All4Catastrophe_GameOn 5 лет назад

ROFl dude you are funny and YES! I do know what you are talking about .. last year I started working on my Halloween display in the last week of Sep. I worked 7 days a week from 6am till 11pm everyday until Halloween day itself when I finely able to carve my pumpkins .. but, what's that?? KIDS AT THE DOOR!? It's 1pm!! .. yeaaa not a single pumpkin got carved sigh.. So this year I started 2 weeks ago I had 300+ people show up last year so this year I wanted to go bigger, as I tend to say and do every year lol and the one thing I need is MORE TOMBSTONES!! Cast Risen are a bitch to find and way too high priced I do not like cheap foam but, I did make a castle entrance to my torture dungeon from 2" x 4' x 8" sheet foam used my router to carve stone brick work into it cracks etc painted added moss it was a real hit, but, we had really high winds last oct and just ripped it to shreds last yea so I had to destroy it after Halloween it won't see another season so I have to go MORE OSB this year! And I was not thinking of making tombstones out of ply or osb because its just so heavy. But, DAMN you made it look good and gave me plenty of ideas! Thanks for the video I subbed and Thumbs up hope to see more ideas from you this year. Also I will be making a few of my own animatronics this year as well any tips??

@shellbacksclub 7 лет назад

So awesome! Love the uneven base on the one. What a great idea. Any idea for Harisson's first Halloween costume yet? Gotta go with a little Pumpkin!🎃

@HollywoodHaunter 7 лет назад

ToyTube TVT or a tortoise 😄

@ediebluntzer5185 7 лет назад

what about combining the foam and plywood?

@BlanckMortuary 3 года назад

That is exactly what I did. I glued 1" pink foam to the surface and carved names and dates. Coated the whole thing in Drylock.

@spikeyspoems 7 лет назад

Awesome tombstones! Hey, there's a phrase you don't get to use everyday :)

@redfoxgamer8772 5 лет назад

U make it look easy

@richardsoto1451 7 лет назад

Chris your so awesome & hilarious too. I definitely love these tombstones that you just made out of wood. I do have a lot of the foam tombstones & yes they do fly like darts. You definitely have a fantastic talent building anything especially with the right tools that you have there. How's Jeana & Harrison?

@HollywoodHaunter 7 лет назад

Thanks Richard, The family is doing great and we wish the same to you. You are so right about the tools making it much easier to perform certain tasks. It took us several years and a few jobs to accumulate all of them. But I could always use more... wink wink
