FrightProps Corpsing Tutorial!

FrightProps walks through their preferred corpsing method, using cheesecloth and latex as the foundation for creating convincing zombified skin on Halloween props. The real differentiator in this technique is the use of FrightProps' own Dura-Grime and Dura-Blood products, which give the finished latex cloth an authentic decayed appearance. At roughly 15 minutes, the tutorial is accessible to beginners looking to upgrade the realism of existing props.

Terrifier Makeup Tutorial Art The Clown (From Scratch)

Alexys Fleming of Madeyewlook delivers a full Art the Clown transformation from the Terrifier franchise, building the iconic look entirely from scratch using a combination of foam clay, Monster Latex, and body paint. The tutorial covers bald cap application, eyebrow blocking with gluesticks, and layered black-and-white body paint work to capture Art's unsettling monochromatic appearance. Alcohol-activated Skin Illustrator paints are used to recreate the character's distinctive darkened teeth. The finished result is a screen-accurate recreation suitable for Halloween cosplay or competition.

DIY Human Face Pies - People Pot Pies

Monster Tutorials walks viewers through crafting grotesque human-face pies — a cannibal-inspired Halloween prop popularized in haunted displays. The build combines clay sculpting, plaster work, and latex to create realistic baked-crust pies with eerily lifelike faces pressed into the filling. Acrylic teeth add a finishing horror detail that elevates the realism. The project draws inspiration from the creations of haunt artist It Came From Under My Bed.

Dumb Things Internet MakeUp Artists Do (Includes FX!)

This short comedic video from Madeyewlook parodies the common mistakes and quirks of makeup and FX artists, delivered with a playful, self-aware energy. Creator Alexys Fleming leans into humor rather than strict tutorial content, making it more of an entertainment piece for the makeup community. Buried within the laughs is at least one genuinely useful tip: baby oil or body oil can help break down latex accidentally applied to hair. The video reflects the creator's signature fun personality and community-oriented approach.
