What this video covers

Allen Hopps of Stiltbeast Studios walks through the process of strapping and painting half masks for use in haunted attractions, in a lengthy session originally broadcast live on Facebook. The video was migrated to YouTube by popular request, so viewers should expect some reduction in visual quality inherent to the original live-stream format. At over three and a half hours, it offers an in-depth, real-time look at the techniques Allen uses to make wearable masks performance-ready. It is a valuable resource for haunt actors and costume builders looking to finish professional-quality character masks.

Key takeaways

  • Covers both the strapping and painting stages of preparing half masks for wear
  • Originally a Facebook Live session, so video quality is lower than a studio production
  • Runtime exceeds three hours, providing thorough real-time instruction
  • Taught by Allen Hopps, a well-known haunted attraction industry professional
  • Aimed at haunted attraction use, making techniques directly applicable to scare characters
