first comment!
Great job Erik! I didn't ask for this episode, but I've still been waiting for it! Yahooooo!
FIRST COMMENT....nice
Sweet! All three of 'em were great! But I think the jabbing of the eye was quite an original and the most entertaining to watch. Good job, Erik...and Chris!...and...Chris's clones!
Deffinitily the eye impaling was pretty awesome
MY fav one was when you bashed its head with the bricks. and i like the clone in a can, lol, it was tuna!
Impale death was the best.
my fav woz the gun death it looked sooo real! keep up the good work eric
i liked the cinderblock one
Oh. I forgot to mention, the eye wound was the best!
I really enjoyed the stick through the eye. Keep up the good work.
Very Cool... The Cinder block was awesome...
You guys need to pick up some decent airsoft pistols though for your movies lol!
I want to see a head explode sending big bloody flesh chunks flying into people's faces
Hey erick! fix the header! I want to know whats on next week! lol
3 was my fav fun as hell
i liked the 2nd and last1 was my fav... da 1 dat was aparently going to clone heaven
weres the eposode with bolistics jell instructions in it!?!?!??!??!
i liked the thrid death that was pretty cool and funny hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
i kiled the second kill
Sweet Episode Erik! I vote for the "Pipe through the Eye" wound, but the gunshot wound was awesome as well. I did find though that the head smash wasn't realistic at all.. Shouldn't the head explode and not just squirt blood? Can you make an episode on set making, or tips on how to make affordable sets? Also, can you make an episode on brakable props, such as vases, bottles, etc. One last thing: "If anyone is wondering why the glass in the fake glass episode is yellow, well i read that it could be the cause of a cheap corn syrup that has a tint. Better quality corn syrup should clear the problem. I don't know if anyone wrote this before I did, but I just wanted to put it out there. Till next friday guys!
That was awesome!I seen someone make fake heads out of melons,but it didnt look as good.But,this was awesome!They were all awesome,I thought the eye one was the coolest :)
i liked the gunshot 1
Great job, man! First one's a charm IMHO, but I gotta say I've always had a little something for crushed mannequins, so third one's THA BEST!
I like the last one.
It was brutally honest.
wat was balistic jel episode
i liked the impaled one the most cause it works good for a final destination movie
stick through head!
smashing it with the bricks was the best
Outstanding.
First one with the gun shot was crazy real!
nice job!
Hey guys nice DIY video. I liked most the clone-killin number 2. It seemed a bit more realistic then the other deaths.
If you want a more realistic head and can afford a higher budget, you can make a mold of the actor's face using alginate, and then cast a fake head from that.
hahaha I vote for the bricks. Great job, as usual!
i really like the 2cnd on it just lokkked so real
clones do have a clone hell =D
The effect doesn't work very well when you're that close.
I liked the possiblites with #3. Though, there wasn't tons of "carnage" shown, I could see doing quite a bit with it.
Also, ERIK... get a haircut man!
cool, i was gona need to know how to do that with a zombie film i'm in the works of making :D
Hey! Great vid. The one I liked the best was either the gun shot wound or the one where he was impaled in the eye. They were the most realistic. You could see white from the styrofoam when the other one was crushed, so Probably the gun shot wound. The other one was cool too, but I certainly wouldn't be using it as much. Bullet time (sorry, but I really want 2 see it done!)
Good one!
Thats the most animatied I have ever seen Erik.
Good to know your friend Survived The rocket pack disaster!
Hey Erik n' Company There is an old School Effect That I think Tom Savini Prefected.
And what it is, You place A thin Layer Of Nose n' Scar wax over your actors face(where ever the shot is, Forehead is best)And you paint the forehead red before applying the wax then what you do is put a round flat(Soup can lid, Buttin,Meatl Washer, What ever)under the wax And to this you attach a string and then painting the wax to look like the rest of the forehead You have the string off camera and when ready You pull the string , A sound effect later you have a very odd looking guns shot effect!
The 1970's Dawn Of tHe Dead did this effect a few time, most notable the Sniper Sceens.
And I'm sure you could add a small amount Of blood Betweek the washer and the forehead!
-Matthew
I liked the 3rd death mainly because of the clone heaven joke.
check this! you cut the head in half just below the chin, now paint the inside of the fake neck, now flip te head over, hollow out about 3 inches and duct tape in a blood pack, now latex the 2 parts together and you got a head cut off dummy!
and for fingers in eye sockets, before you apply the pait job, cut in a little extra in the eye area, after the paint take some fake blood and fill in the sockets, now take two balls of mashed potatoes with some paint and place them in the sockets!
now for spilled brains! do the whole injury #3 routine but before you add the blood add some coliflower brains then the blood!
replying to randdomann, i think the brick one worked fine. The white from the styrofoam could just be played off as the skull, depending on how thick. Great job on the video, i thought all were great.
Wow i really liked the one of the eye =P
i'm gonna try it sometime =D

DON'T get a haircut!!!!!!!!
.i like the one with the gun .i know that 3:49 on the video you were not in your room and you where front of a green screen i don't why but your were.
I like the eye impailing the most. Great job eric and chris.
I think that there should be an Alien show done because me and my friends are making a sci-fi movie but we need cheap alien costums/makeup.
i like the one with the gunshot
it would have been better without a wig for the last one but the last one in best
The last one where you smashed the clone with the cement block was good
i liked the head splat with the bricks the best. but i would have liked to see a bigger squish (a bigger glass or a balloon?)
heres a website that shows you how to make some cheap, fake, and edible eyeballs.
http://lshs.leesummit.k12.mo.us/studentprojects/0506/fall05/holidays/slholiday/halloween2.htm
CAN YOU SHOW US HOW TO DO A PROFESSIONS SOUND SETUP FOR A SHOOT?
Death 3 FTW
not related to the video, but does anyone know where i can download some that processed driving footage they use during TV shows and what not.
Wow, great episode! I like the cinderblock one the most. By the way, where's the voicemail at the end?
hey hey that was a pretty sweet last episode but what about when you wanna have cool sound effects because maybe when you squish your dummies head it sounds like styrofoam...yah...
THANKS! bye bye
plus my favorite head death was when u smashed it with your friend and told him not to worry and that he would go to clone heaven
i like all three, but my favorite was the gun death great job Erik
personally, I just think that the whole video was pretty sick.
like not as in cool- but as in severely disturbing.
Why on earth would you do something like that?
I liked the cinder block death the best, but it didn't have enough blood oozing out of the front of the face (where it split)
The eye stab was super awesome as well, but if it could be improved, may I suggest a glob of eye goo oozing out as well as blood. that would add to the realism. all three were great!!!
this was your best test film yet i loved it
the spear in the eye was my fgavorit.but they were all awesome
I think it would be better to modify the jaw using clay or foam or putty to make it look like the mouth is open. After all, who get's shot, impaled, or crushed without screaming?
The 1 clone had it coming to him.
The 3 clone was gay he had it coming to him
i like the clon heaven one funny ha ha ha
yesss the episode was sweet. I loved the impale effect. I can't wait to use the effect in one of my movies!!
THAT WAS AWESOME!!! I have to say that the gunshot one was great, it looked extremely real! All of theme were awesome
I thought it was kind of cruel to treat clones that way, but the best one was the gunshot because it was the most realistic.
That was funny and I like the third death!
Clone don't go to heaven... wow... suck to be the clone doesn't it... :P
You know I like all of them but they didn't look as great as I'd thought they would. The eye looked like there was cardboard in the eye all ready. They were pretty cool but I don't think any of them were that great. Sorry.
my favourate was the gunshot and i liked the clone heaven joke.good 2 know your friend survived the jetpack incident lol
in 4:39 were you High Five Chris,
Do you have a double Band Tatt on your Arm
can i mail order clone in a can or a set of those snappy orange jump suit ensembles
AWEsome! I like the Gun shot wound! Thanks Indymogul!!!
I liked the spike to the brain.
erik how can i upload a vid showing somthin here i wanna show some cool stop motion techinques...like explosions makin dudes fly
the stab in the eye was the best.
just the way the blood pourd out was great.
but hey, "clones dont have souls!"
Nice job, my friend told me about your effects/guides and they come in handy, so just wanted to day thanks.
Anyway, Clone #3 was the best.
Should've feathered more in the floating head intro. :D
but besides that nice job.
fav. clone= 1rst one.
I cant make up my mind, either the gunshot or the impaling, they both look good and fun to do. I was woundering thought, if we got one of those heads, do you think that your brain from your other episode would work so you can get even more gore?
I read some where that if you want to get really gory you can get like a 1 pound of ground beef, red food coloring and some other things, to make some pretty crazy good cuncky brains lol. Just wanted to say so maybe you should give it a shot or anyone else who reads this.
Thanks for listening and keep on making moives I'm looking forward to everone, especially since halloween is right around the corner.
~evil laughter and lightling sounds~
Oh sorry I kinda got carried away but yeah thanks beck and indy mogul :)

I like the second one the best. it was the bloodiest! but my brother liked the third.
my brother make the samuri armor with out using money maybe you can show how to make a lightsaber for flim under $25 and where to get a camera and rights to use starwars products if you can
i noteiced in the video you said the balistics gell was in a previous episode and in the detaild plans you said that you were gona make a weekend extra about it so im confused!!!
i would of liked the last one if the foam would of been red because since its white you can see it when it cracks id suggest you find a way to soak red into the foam or get a red foam head or something like that
FRIGGIN' SWEET!!! My favorite was impaling him in the eye. It was a little rough around the edges, effects-wise, but it was still pretty realistic. I would have LOVED to see some brains comin' outta there, though.
can u crop with wax im only eleven and use only freeware
if you want to really make your dummy look like your actor you can always cast it, you'd only need some alginate and then use some plaster or whatever you have in hand to make the cast, a pound of alginate come out to be like 20 bucks or so, but you can probably get some very cheap at ebay, you can carve your own head! if you're artistic enough, just buy some urethane foam which comes out to like 5 bucks a pound. or hey take tom savini's 16 months make up fx course, if you can afford it.
oh and my fav head was the one chris shot, maybe because i loved how you(or whoever is the camera man) moved the camera around the gun, great shot. (:
hey i left a message for you hope you get it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
head mashing one rules
i really liked them all mostly the cinderblock smashing but i never saw your home made balistics gell episode...please inform me to the werabouts thank ya
it was definatly the brick smash...best one.
Clone 3 looked the best!
dude, the last one was the funniest, but the first one was realistic. the 2nd 1 looked like shiznite
I liked the last one i found funny how you calmed it then smashed it. =)
My Favorite death was the metal rod through the eye.xp
100th post?!.. or maybe i was a bit too late.
Can't wait till the next episode
Just thought I'd point out that the url for the source of the heads is wrong. It's valudisplay.com (no e).
my fave was the spear in the eye that was so cool thanks eric tones ur the besst movie fx guy !!!!!!!
omgod that guy thats with erik looks like my boyfriend luis...but much older lol
hey it still looks fake though...
Haha! I liked the first one! The gun shot rig was cool.
eye impalment was best
I love your show, but the safety advice about wearing a painter's mask- not so much. Painter's masks stop particulates. dust, and small droplets. These masks do NOTHING about fumes, and a lot of the people injured or killed by organic vapors are using non-functional protective devices.
If you're working with fumes, without an actual proper vapor cartridge resirator, it has to be outdoors, with a fan, and that's still dangerous. Basements are absolutely forbidden (vapor pooling) and even garages are dangerous.
I know we can't keep everyone out of the Darwin awards, but I hope this helps.

Great episode!
Also, the eye stab was the best! :)
How do you make the heads explode?And what are the other ways to make good fake heads?
when i went on a special effects crash-coarse we made plaster-casts of the actor/model's face and filled them up with ballistics gell/conventional gelatine to create a realistic face. the back of the head can be cast seperately or covered up with a hood or wig with some stuffing, and you can use a conventional make-up set to make it look realistic. though somewhat timeconsuming, it can be done for just a couple of bucks, and once made, the cast can be used over and over and over again. the only thing i really hated about this was the actor/model needs to breath and keep his eyes shut when the cast of of his face is made. this means that when you need a head with opened eyes you'l spend hours sculpting his 'new' eyelids and implanting fake eyes. and breathing through a tube while plaster is hardening around your face can be quite scary and means the mold will have holes in it which will have to be sculpted out. if you're in a hurry, i'd go for the foam head. but if you can find the time a gelatine head can be done for hardly any money and it looks way better (no offense).
i liked the spear death the best
i was one of the people asking 4 this episode and i loved it the gunshot death was fantastic. how could you blow one up i tried fireworks but they didnt work 2 well.
i liked the wound at the top of the head a good death would be the head exploding
The cinder block clone death was by far the coolest.
If you like Independent Monster films, check out our teaser...
http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/bdtv/Player.php?id=962
The head crushing was awesome. I would have used a car door though.... :-D The gunshot was cool too, but the camera didn't pickup the splatter effect.
Wow! That was really good! Good job on keeping the makeup on the real and fake heads as similar as possible, because it turned out really well!
niice episode, nuf sed
haha third guy went splat
funny
I loved it when you stabed the stick into the clones eye.
the best fake head death was when eric impailed i in the eye
the guns shot is the most effective
the one you beat with a cinder block kicked ass!
to the tip at the end:
dont use a "dust mask" u know the masks that looked like the one he was whereing but white, cause it doent help much and it looks like ur nose got the crap beat out of it
oh and ur mom will think ur on drugs and got in a fight
The "impaled in the eye" one looked so painful! That's my favorite!
Hey, I got an idea to make this better! If you can't paint real looking eyes (Like me, and probably everyone on this site...) you could take a picture of your eyes, print them out, and glue them to the fake head!! That way you don't need those crazy glasses!
Hey there, been watching your clips for a while now...The fake head effect I liked the third one the best...Been working on some videos of my own with some friends...get some good ideas from yea
Neat. I liked the spear to the eye, great stuff. More time on makeup, you could really have a head that would explode or whatever like in the movies.
The gun shot.
Hey eric, I watch this moive again and again and well I was thinking, the exploding head was cool but I was woundering how could you decapate a guy like that? I was thinking with the face blood shot (Sorry I can't remember what the name of it was exactally) and some little stuff like ground beef, and corn syrup, food coloring and a nice squeesh sound could be shown after you knock off "your friends fake head" but I was thinking do you feel as if you would want to try it? I understand if you don't but I think it would look rather cool if you ask me. :D Oh and by the way are you going to be doing any halloween specials? It would be cool lol. But yeah I'm not a film maker even though I have been watching moives like this for years maybe I should try but yeah I was just woundering what your thoughts would be with this one lol.
Your friend and fan,
Blake aka NINJA
the gunshot one
thoses head looked so real stbbing it in the eye was the best 1 its look so real and the sound afects wer very goos 2
I finally realize why I love this podcast so much. Not only is the information great but it's a lot like "Bill Nye the Science Guy." Keep up the great work.
i liked all three but i liked the bashing the head one, it was awsome, thanks.
I told you! No drugs kids©
The third one.
By far.
i liked the brick bashing head dummy. that was so cool.
oh and Erik, please make one about limbs and heads getting cut off. thank you.
kiss em?
how about a ghost efect
I like the metal stick in the eye 1 best
loved the effects guys, impaling was the best one. Also, do you think you could re-create the fight with black knight from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" where he gets his arms and legs cut off? Thanks and keep up the great work.
i like the last 1 the sinder block 2 the head
i liked the last one
I liked the gun wond death!!!

i think i liked the gunshot the best, it looked more realistic
I love this episode on youtube.com
the eye impale was good but the blood looked like kool aid. i liked the bashing the best.
The eye stabbing was just great. Nice job!
I liked 2, and 3 could have been way more gory.

I liked the smash with cement block killing the best. It was really gory and had a good effect on the dummy.
i totally agree, most npeople liked the impale one but the paper eye kinda ruined it
chris sounds gay
The clone that was impaled in the eye was the schweetest
needfornews.com
i like the gun shot
I would have liked to see a gun shot through the eye like Moe Green in the Godfahter
WOW! that's really going to help me with my zombie movie.
the second clone death was the best.
gun shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the impale death the best because the paper lens of the glasses curved and went into the socket.
gun shot was the best
Nice all of those deaths were awsome, but my favourite death as the cynderblock crush death! if you could sho us ho to make a fake skull and skin for it then it could have peices of bone sticking out hen you kill it!
would there be any way to add fake brain-matter to the gunshot wound?
hi indy mogul i realy liked this episode and my favorite clone death was nuber three clone heaven ha ha
I liked the cinder block crush on clone #3. That was so cool, but you could see the white Styrofoam after they crushed it.
