@Erick: I think you're confusing Halloween with April Fools 
It's late here in Europe. I guess I'll just wake up tomorrow and find my presents under the tree... no, wait
(Holiday Hatrick, Woohoo)

Imâ?????? orthodox christianâ???¦we dont get to go around houses begging for food once every year"
i just fell like correcting here, "Halloween" comes from a before crist celebration on old ireland direct meaning "All-Hallows-Eve", you being an orthodox christian, can see that this pagan celebration was on even before any christian religion, thsi date in the old calendar was the end of the year.
Beside of all can't wait Andrew!!!!!!!!!!

Love you Andy

i would love it if andrew could give us some tips on how to create an intense high action video, for freerunning
His mouth kind of looks like he might be turning into a zampire/werewolf.....Mr Kramer seems to enjoy updating older tutorials into full blown awesomeness.
Personally a lighting hit is most likly - as it might involve video copilot flares.

Maybe you want to take a look at the trailer I created for my bands music video. We used a Halloween pumpkin as well ;o)

I used a lot of Andrews stuff and tutorials (AE 2, Twitch...) and try to create a Tarantino, 70 retro, Trash look. The Video is still in work and I hope i could use the "Halloween special" for more cool Ideas.
Nice greetings from germany! Hope you like it.

While I appreciate the Halloween Tutorial, uh . . . it's Halloween already. Would've been nice to have had it a few days before Halloween since anyone with a family or life will be out tonight. But that's just me. Kind of like your Valentine's one that came out the day of . . . while I appreciate the techniques involved and learning, it would be nice if you guys planned ahead of holidays and made specific holiday tutorials available . . . i don't know . . maybe at least a day before?

Ok the screenstot tells us a few thing's we can expect, water on lens, sky replacement, color correction and simulated rain but as for the "electrifying Halloween" who knows what Andrew will pull out. I really hope that it's not another disintegration tutorial I think it was covered pretty well in the last tutorial. Unless of course there's an awesome different way of making the effect.
I dunno Sam looks kind of more like a villan than a victim this time maybe he'll shock the crap out of someone.
Oh and electric zombies would be way rad....

Hey Fablemaniac, you wouldn't be the type who would grab free downloads, would you?

God looked at Sam and said onto him:
- Sam, the time has come. I will smite thee with great vengeance.
Sam trembled as he gazed towards the sky, hopelessly shouting back.
- You will not have me, Oh heavenly father!
*BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ*

Oh Sam, I told you that you should have bought some life insurance. From the looks of the picture, Andrew is probably going to either have aliens abduct you, or strike you down with lightning down to the bones....mwahahahah...I can't wait to see what dastardly tricks Andrew has in store for you Sam.
We know what you do to Sam during the year. We can't Imagen what Your going to do to him on Halloween! Poor guy
Can't wait!!!!
Can't wait!!!!
Mr. Kramer Im a quiet type guy and you offer alot here.
I need to see a tutorial on. 1. Someone smashing thru a wall 2. A Building explosion 3. Someone passing their hand thru a wall 4. A bullet hitting a man and smashing up on his body like superman when the bullet hit his eye and smashed up. 5. A full body aura that emitts heat or waves of energy. I know you can do it cause from what ive seen here your one of the top after effect instructors in the world.

I've been hit by lightning. Don't hit Sam with lightning. The whole thing is a rip, you don't get super powers or anything. All I got was a week of excruciating pins and needles and some memory loss. Now if you've been breeding radioactive, biting insects that's a different story. Looking forward to tomorrow!
