Male1: Welcome to Backyard FX, where we show you how to make fake heads.
[Music playing]
You kept asking for it, so now you are going to get it. Fake heads, you can smash them, stab them, kiss them, blow them up.
It is time to spin the wheel.
Now, I want everyone out there who requested this project to reach out with your mind. Reach out to the wheel of prosperity; spin it with your mind. Concentrate now with your mind.

First, I am going to show you where you can get a low budget head that you can customize to your own needs. Then, I am going to show you three different ways to rig that fake head for a violent and gruesome death. In my research I found a few ways to replicate the old noggin but the cheapest and the easiest way to go is to get one of these, Styrofoam heads.
They come in male and female and I found them for as cheap as four bucks. Now these things come pretty detailed, but with a little bit of work it can look even better.
Super Time Lapse
Now the first thing that I did is add two layers of liquid latex to the front of the dummy which smoothes out the surface of the Styrofoam. After a base coat of flesh tone paint, use a basic make-up kit to add highlights and detail to your dummy head.
Now, because our fake head is not molded to anyone specific, you are going to use a few tricks to help it look more believable. First, you can add a little bit of the same make up you put on the dummy head to your actors head. And second you can use props like mustaches, glasses, wigs, that will also be the same on the dummy and the actor.
Male2: Where am I?
Male1: Where do you think?
Male2: No!
Male1: It is cool we still have bread banger.
Male2: Yes!

Male1: Now it is time to get to the juicy part, how to make your dummy head go splat.
Male2: The first thing we are going to set up is a gun shot wound. After cutting the dummy head in half I hallowed out of space in the middle for the blood shooters back from the previous episode. After that it was just a matter of taping it in place and lining it up with the entry wound in the forehead.
Victim number two is going to be impaled in the eye, so I opened up the back of the skull and made space for this blood pack. Using my best friend mister duct tape I secured the blood pack in the head. Just like all the rest number three is going to get a Styrofoam lobotomy. But this time we are going to fill it with some home made ballistics gel.
Now for all the details on how to make that, check out the previous episode of Indy Mogul Weekend Extra. Now after I added a little bit of ballistic gel to the skull, I am going to add this glass which I have greased up with cooking spray. Now I am going to secure it with duct tape. Now the reason I am doing this is once the fake head has spent a night in the refrigerator, I can remove the glass and it creates this great pocket to fill with fake blood.
