Ahoy Mateys! Halloween 2023 is fast approaching and we’re making a bunch of DIY scary outdoor Halloween decorations. First up is a drunken skeletal pirate animatronic inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean! This video covers a ton of Halloween DIY techniques. We start with a simple plastic skeleton that you can get at any store like Home Depot, Lowes, Spirit Halloween, or Party City. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to build a simple swaying animatronic mechanism using PVC pipe and a wiper motor. We’ll also show you how to corpse a skeleton using cotton, latex, and contact cement. This corpsing technique gives you a more decayed look vs. the more mummified skin look that corpsing with plastic wrap and a heat gun gives you. We’ll age and weather clothes from the thrift store and finally paint our skeleton zombie to make him look super scary and realistic!

This easy DIY Halloween project is a great way to dive into the world building your own Halloween animatronics. If you love Halloween DIY projects and want to see more of our DIY Halloween props, check out our Endless Drinking Skeleton (   • Endless Drinking Skeleton 💀 DIY Hallo...  ). We also have a ton of other DIY Halloween outdoor decorations and animatronic makeovers on our channel!
