5 Picks

1:02:26 / 1:40:03

With Halloween coming up, I've been watching a bunch of Halloween videos on YouTube lately. I came across some really fun and creative ones, so I thought I'd put a few of my favorites together and share them here. There are people turning a YouTube logo into a monster, building animatronics, carving some seriously impressive pumpkins, and making tiny haunted houses. I also found a video of an insanely decorated Halloween yard in California. I honestly didn't realize how much effort and creativity people put into Halloween! They're all pretty different, so you don't have to watch them in any particular order. Just pick whatever looks interesting. Hope you find something you enjoy! 🎃

VIDEO NOTE 1
1. Turning the YouTube Logo Into a Monster | Wicked Makers (via YouTube) 👹I never would've thought of turning the YouTube logo into a Halloween monster, but someone actually did it! I love how such a familiar logo can become something so weird and creepy. It's a fun reminder that Halloween ideas can come from pretty much anywhere. If you're into unusual DIY projects or just enjoy seeing creative ideas come to life, this one's worth checking out.

2. We Built Our First Animatronic Again | Wicked Makers (via YouTube) 🧟These creators decided to go back and remake one of their very first animatronic monsters, Huggy Wuggy, using everything they've learned since then. I think it's really cool to see people revisit an old project and find ways to make it better. It's not just about building a creepy monster — it's also about seeing how much their skills have improved. If you enjoy creative builds, behind-the-scenes processes, or watching people get better at something they love, this one's worth a look.

3. 13 Levels of Pumpkin Carving: Easy to Complex | WIRED (via YouTube) 🎃I Had No Idea Pumpkin Carving Could Get This Complicated! I always thought pumpkin carving was mostly about cutting out funny or scary faces. Turns out there's a lot more to it! In this video, a professional pumpkin carver walks through 13 levels of carving, from simple designs to some seriously impressive techniques. It's pretty amazing how much detail you can get out of a single pumpkin. I especially like that you can see how the techniques get more advanced step by step. If you've ever carved a pumpkin for Halloween, or just enjoy watching skilled people do their thing, this is a fun one to check out. Levels 1-4: Foundation & Basics Level 1 (0:45): Basic jack-o'-lantern carving using a classic triangle design. Level 2 (2:21): Embellished jack-o'-lanterns, adding character through facial expressions and extra teeth. Level 3 (3:46): Realistic pumpkin carving, focusing on light representation and shadows. Level 4 (6:03): Adding backgrounds to create narrative and depth. Levels 5-8: Advanced Techniques Level 5 (7:25): Layered carving to achieve various shading effects using the pumpkin's natural translucency. Level 6 (9:06): Back carving, shaving the interior of the pumpkin wall for subtle highlights. Level 7 (10:51): 3D sculpting, treating the pumpkin like stone or wood for depth and form. Level 8 (13:22): Sculpting a 3D background to enhance the main subject. Levels 9-13: Complex Artistry Level 9 (15:17): Attaching additional pumpkin pieces using dowels and adhesive. Level 10 (16:53): Integrating internal lights for specialized accents. Level 11 (18:27): Using multiple pumpkins to build larger, multi-part structures. Level 12 (20:11): Painting the pumpkin to add shadow and definition. Level 13 (21:34): Pushing the limits with armatures, mechanical servos, and mixed-media techniques to create a "pumpkin zombie."
