Monster Tutorials walks viewers through building ultra-budget skeleton props using pool noodles, with this episode focusing on constructing the torso — considered the most critical section of the build. The technique is designed for haunters who need to populate a scene with many characters without spending much money. Additional installments covering the head, arms, legs, and corpsing are planned as companion videos. A downloadable PDF e-book guide is also referenced as a supplemental resource.
Allen Hopps of StiltbeastStudios demonstrates how to create convincing skeleton parts using readily available expanding foam sealant from a hardware store — a technique he dubs 'skeleton in a can.' The method is designed to be accessible and budget-friendly, making it ideal for haunters who want to build or bulk out bone pieces without expensive materials. The roughly 23-minute tutorial walks through the process of working with the foam to achieve skeletal shapes and textures.
