New stuff coming

I admit it. I totally forgot about this blog! I recently got an iPad and it so incredible it's distracting me. I'm sorry about the broken promises last time about new content but you know, our lives must inevitably change. In fact I've been leaning away from Halloween lately... Weird. All hope is not lost though guys I'm gonna get back in the game. And I'll start by starting to work on the 2010 season video this week and week-end. This will be my first haunt, so be kind. There was a lot of empty spots... You'll see soon.
Stay scary!

The Nest

I went to the nest last weekend and it was great. I'm a little sad though. I had already seen a lot of the props and setups. A lot of it wasn't original. Like the dot room and vortex tunnel. I don't like that. Oh well. Anyways I had a great time walking around in the dark, screwing around, and admiring props.

But I've learned something. I need to be original. Every one needs to. Even you. I'm gunna get building now.

Cave Glow Worms

I would realy LOVE to include this in the haunt.

Progress

One new prop is on the way (Huge Carnivorous plant) and the second groundbreakers arm is repaired. I'll probably be done with the plant by Friday and paint up the groundbreaker this weekend.

Not so busy lately

I admit it I have totally wandered out of the haunting zone and into the pit of doom (time wasting activities like YouTube) this summer. I hate it as much as you hate checking back at this site only to discover you've wasted your time and nothing is new. But I've recently been getting busy and I have organized the tasks that need to be done by when the materials are available. For example, the couldron creep will not be done until about mid-november when I can snatch up a bag-o-bones. The Giant Mutant Crustacean won't be done until October or November because I need a motor, lights, some kind of chord or string, and some latex paint. Oh yeah. I don't think I told you about that... I'm planning a giant lobster for this years haunt. It will be around 4'6" tall and I even have a rough sketch of this beast (I even have a blueprint for the construction but that can wait). I think it will be a HUGE hit this year.

An old friend friend revealed

I realized that I hadn't uploaded any pictures of my Mire Scarecrow. Heres a picture of him after a recent reinforcement.

Props to admire: Gorus

I have decided to start posting props and costumes that I like and tagging them so there easy to find. I'll start with a costume. An amazing, over sized, and detailed has lifted my spirit a bit and its' name is "Gorus".

Fog Chiller for 2010

I thought I'd start out the building season with something simple and essential. A fog chiller. I used Got Fog.com's design. If you are to do this project use Valspar black plasic paint ($5) instead of spray paint.
