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.

Second Groundbreaker Update: 3

This groundbreaker looks cool without an arm but, thats not what I was going for. PVC has been inserted. He'll be fine.

Here's some pictures of my disasterpiece so far.

I'll post the picture with the text next time.

Need more motivation

I realy need to start kicking it into high gear right now. I mean I have an entire summer in front of me and so far, I could have been more productive. I'll start to get back into it by sketching and imagining props and the haunts. I will not have wasted my summer.
