10 DIY Halloween Props Under $10

VanOaksProps compiles ten of their most popular budget Halloween prop builds into a single 70-minute video marathon, with each project costing under $10. The lineup spans a wide range of themes — from pirate rum bottles and treasure chests to a prop scythe, medieval torch, and smoldering log effect. Each segment links to its original standalone tutorial, making it easy to jump to specific projects. The format works equally well as a step-by-step guide or background viewing while already building in the workshop.

CFX DOLLFACE Female Fit Silicone Mask Movement Video

CFX Masks showcases the Dollface silicone mask in a short movement demonstration video, highlighting how the mask performs on a female-fit wearer. The mask features a pale porcelain-white silicone base with a deliberately grungy, aged finish and sparse remaining hairs that sell the broken-doll aesthetic. Designed to fit heads roughly between 20 and 22 inches in circumference, it suits performers looking to bring a psychologically unsettling doll character to asylum or haunted-hallway environments.

Skeleform Corpsing - Halloween Prop

This video walks through the corpsing process applied to a Fright Theatre Skeleform skeleton, transforming a bare skeletal prop into a more convincingly decomposed and textured corpse. Corpsing adds layers of material and paint to simulate rotting flesh over the underlying skeletal structure. The result is a significantly more realistic and haunting Halloween display piece.
