Such a great transformation! The only thing I would add if I were doing it would be dead leaves to add to the broken window effect. As always, spooktacular job

Maria L.

I would love to know how you do this thunder effect in the back of the room

Korra Faust

Absolutely in love with the way this room turned out! I can’t believe how much you did in such a short amount of time. Also, I NEED to send you a package of Velaflame bulbs! They have moving flames, and you can adjust the color to practically anything you can imagine. When you mentioned that the flame bulbs you used were too orange for your liking, I knew that you might appreciate a more customizable option.😂

Angell Cloxen

I love it ! But there is one thing I was wondering about who will dust the room when it is time to. 8)

Victoria Cooksey

Wow!

Jessica Irons

Your dress!!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Mary

Never have I experienced a woman with such talent! Incredible!!!

Nicky Bee

This was to die for, no pun intended 🥸 I love the cob web sprayer. What a fun idea. Also I am curious about the lightening affect, do share please! 🖤

Alex Pyke

My family and I love your videos!

Amy Watler-Thomas

Ohhhh woah, so wonderful 💕

Diana

Christine is one of the most talented artists I have ever seen.This room was absolutely mesmerizing.Does anybody know how she got the Thunder and lightning effects in the windows?

Mercedes Canales

Oh my gosh I wish you would have made a video of cleaning this up, it looks gorgeous but that flour and those webs.. I'm sure they were fun to clean up ahhh

Shannon R

You outdone yourself in that room! I love it! You’re so inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

Griss

Best episode I've seen in awhile. I loved the outcome xxx

Laila Qadira

the most unhinged part of this was the flour being dashed everywhere - I loved every second.

Phoenix

I live in Asheville and have been without water, power, and internet for some time due to hurricane Helene. Yesterday we were able to use WiFi at a hot spot location and the first thing I did was download this video to watch offline when I got home. It brought so much joy to my day! Thank you so much! You're always such a bright spot in our lives and being able to see your smiling face in these trying days brings a lot of hope.

Connie Cleveland

This made my night. I an now inspired to be creative in my house like this. Thank you for your creativity and sharing it with us

Taryn Hart

Same, and it may very well be a web browser issue. I generally use Safari. Went through Christine's link in my email and that resolved it for me.

Marti Kennedy

It played for me just now. So amazing!

Heather Jaynes

Oh, I just refreshed the page and now it will play.

Heather Jaynes

I have the same message! And it’s not the first time this has happened to me in the past few weeks. I don’t know what’s going on.

Marti Kennedy

I'm having trouble playing this video. It keeps asking me to sign in, but I am already signed in. I even logged out and logged in again. Anyone else?

Alisa Perkins

Looks amazing 👏 😍

Victoria

I was able to turn on auto generated subtitles while watching the video in patreon! Just on the settings screen wheel/button

Amanda Gray

Is there no way to turn on captions in Patreon (I am deaf)? YouTube generally allows it.

Great decor! Here is a silver plated antique dome. It's only 14" in length but it is gorgeous! https://www.etsy.com/listing/1457867974/fancy-english-silverplate-sheffield-meat?click_key=b193bfc0a068685128160011deaefced085a4288%3A1457867974&click_sum=4053722b&ref=sold_out-4&sts=1

Victoria Gates

This all looks amazing 🤩 I really love your Bat lamp!! 🦇 💡

Liz Palser

So very Miss Haversham! Absolutely love the whole theme, and definitely borrowing some bits to accentuate our own Victorian house for Halloween. Incredibly envious of the beautiful casket! Everything you touch sparkles!

Lyndsey Zeller

Incredible!

Lauren Smith

I’m obsessed with this! Perfect timing as I’m getting ideas together for my Halloween party this season! 💀🦇🕷️

benbuffy rose

Looks amazing x

Katie

Such an amazingly creative episode!!! I can’t believe how fast you got this transformation done!! Literally one of my favorite room makeovers ever 😍 A note about Spanish Moss: Sometimes it can have mites which cause your skin to itch or have a reaction. I think the moss in craft stores is safe but the Spanish Moss you find outside down South can occasionally have mites (my husband is from FL and filled me in while watching the episode ;) Also, all of your pets are so cute and I love seeing them migrate around the house and orbit you while you’re creating 😂

Josie

The room is amazing! I think I need to up my collection of antiques😅

Hali & Taylor Baird

Gorgeous set up, in the past when you have used this spider web method how easy is cleanup? Why I ask is one year I bought a spider web system that had a special fluid that would “bio degrade” and sprayed it all over my bedroom, it was the best Halloween! But now 15 years later some of the walls in that room and my grandma’s antique singer sewing machine have spider web texture still on them. I haven’t tried the hot glue method in fear of similar results.

Karen

Better than Disneyland! Haunted Perfection!

Megan Gay

It looks so amazing!

Tammy R Dowden

*GASP* It's so gorgeous! I too would be tempted to leave it up year-round! I had a similar idea with Spanish moss--I can't afford to replace my damaged 70s-era ceiling tiles, so I put Spanish moss into the damaged areas, and it looks kinda cool. Again, fantastic job with the time constrictions you had, and can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for my favorite month!!

CJGardner

Maybe like this? Probably too plain but just in case: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1626027502/large-antique-walker-hall-silver-plated?click_key=32804a60379d63689b99d69447de92b2d6bcc4ba%3A1626027502&click_sum=e950f2f9&external=1&ref=pla_similar_listing_top-1&pro=1

Allan Linehan

When I was a kid, I came home on the bus from school to find a coffin on the front porch. Of course I had to open it, and there was a genuine human skeleton inside! Too long ago, I don’t remember how the coffin got there, but my father was a physician, and that probably had something to do with it. We had years of fun at Halloween posing with our friend. I was so amazed how fast you put that room together! Even as you did it hurriedly, and temporarily, it still would take me weeks to do it. Awesome work!

Tanya Von Black

Using spooky things I have around the home like my movie quality spiderweb machine and casket is my absolute favorite because who else would have such a thing laying around their house! That's a life goal right there! It's absolutely stunning and I would 100% be keeping that for ever ❤️

JPShrad

beautiful episode! to add to the warnings of others that flour dust is extremely flammable, I would add that when it comes time to clean that room it would be much safer to sweep than to vacuum - when the flour becomes airborne again if your vacuum sparks or has any static charge at all it can cause some very serious fires! stay safe :)

Nicole Holst

Your attention to detail is unreal came out amazing!

Aunt Debbie Halloween

It turned out so fantastic! If anyone is thinking of using dry ice - just remember that the fog is carbon dioxide and nitrogen, which displaces oxygen in the lower parts of the room where pets are - so keep the pets far away from the fog. Also, flour is explosively flammable, so don't use it with real candles. (sorry - I'm an Art teacher, so hyper focused on safety)

Kristin Greene

So cool really liked the transformation

Heather Hofshi

What an incredible transformation! I love the environmental storytelling

Hermine-Virginie Simon

I really enjoy this episode ! So southern gothic 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Debora Macie

Your imagination and execution of ideas constantly amaze me.

Elisabeth

I love how this turned out! I can see why you would want to keep it this way year round. I could see doing some daguerreotype spirit pictures in there, too, with the skeleton in the casket and the ghost staring down into it. I hate to be that person, but be careful when blowing the flour into webs and stuff that there are no flames in the area (candles, fire, etc) until it all settles because flour dust in the air can be explosive in the presence of even just a lit match (or even a spark—do a search for “flour explosion” or “dust explosion” and you’ll see what I mean).

Deborah Wiltshire Whaley

Love this! Inspired to do some ghostly decorating in my library!

Cecile

your skirt !!!!! beautiful !

Ginny Mecomber

Well, now I know what my home fashion aesthetic is...cobwebs and dust! Thank you for the decor tips!

Maria Aragon

I loved this episode sooooo much <3 truly perfect for spooky season!

Kelly (Nellas)

Thoroughly enjoyed this! Beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing!

Seriously AMAZING…SPOOKTACULAR! You are a true artist in every sense of the word. I think this is one of my favorite things you have done☠️💜🎃

Paige Phoa

This was epic. One of my favs. 🎃 🦇 💀 🕷️

Brandy Byhoffer

Requesting a video where we get behind the scenes of how The Captive makes the soundtrack.

Vicki

Very very special. When ever I go by your house, I wonder what you are up to. Lol.

Christie Aldrich

It really looks like you spent months planning and making this room happen. Such incredible detail. It's a Halloween miracle! I think my favorite part are the seance table and participants. Thank you SO much for this, it made my week!

Qastiel

your imagination and creativity are just mind blowing! I just love watching you transform rooms and objects into works of art and function.

Annalise

Christine, you are a rock star. This was amazing. Bravo!!!

Anna

I‘m beyond excited for this video 🥰😍

Angela Pogue

Jessica Huennekens

Tammy Wilson

Love this episode! 🖤🖤 You must of had a lot of fun creating this even though you only had a few days .You killed it ! Literally 😂😂

Linda

That was sooooo good! I want to make my whole house like this 🥰

Laurel McKenzie

The scream I scrumpt when I saw the end result! You are a huge inspiration ❤️

Debbie Magee

Where did you get your skirt, Christine? I love it.

Shaé Emery

This was great. I love these types of episodes! Bravo!!!👏👏👏👏👏

Lisa Scheckel

Beautiful!

Skelly Bones

This is production design! Christine, this is amazing, I'd make a film in here in a heartbeat!

VStreet

That was sooo good!

Leslie Langenegger

How fun! By coincidence, I've been decorating for Halloween today. (more of a vintage, Johanna Parker feel). It was sweet that you included your skull candle. The casket looks lovely for 2 days work. Where can we find this 30 sec. ad?

Claudia Garcia

I have no words!!! 😍

nycdweller

Do you still own that beautiful California house?

Ken Gerleve

Holy catz! You never fail to impress me, Christine! I need to find a fancy old heap to haunt. Sigh.

James Jeffers

absolutely love seeing how you transform a space into story! the detailing and thoughtfulness is so spooktacular and delves deep into the ~beyond~ ⍥ So excited to see what you come up with in the future! 💀🔮

Angela Pearson

As the kids say these days, Christine, you understood the assignment! I would also keep the room in this state.. cleaning up that flour will be no fun... thank goodness for the Captive ;)

Wednesday

Amazing job for only a couple days work! You have me absolutely stoked for what's coming this Halloween. I'd leave that room as is, firstly because it looks amazing, but also because that clean up job might just put you 6ft under, lol!💀👻 Thanks so much for all you do to inspire us Christine!

Anna Radaelli

I never knew that I needed a casket, skeletons and spider webs to be a completed and happy woman but thanks to Christine I am now going to go witch hunt for those things and make them apart of my everyday décor! Nobody does it like Christine!

Hannah

In a rush, but proceeds to bake flour multiple times and then hairdryer it over cobwebs you're my hero ❤️🥀

Marnie Kaler

Dead perfect 🖤🦇

Brenda Hunt

OMG! I loved this!!

Emy AUBIN

My WORD! I probably wouldn't go that far because, you'll have the hell of a time when it comes to clean this all up! But, once again, sooo inspiring👏. This is a riot! And I so liked the kind of a Beetlejuice skirt😉 Can't wait to see more. Love from 🇫🇷 ❤️
