Finishing up my candles and need to get to lowes for supplies for pvc fence sections. ]]> halloween71 http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/halloween71/321-tombstone.html http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/halloween71/315-not-working-much.html Mon, 08 Jun 2009 22:10:34 GMT I have cut and finished 7 candles.I have to get the supplies to do 8 fence sections.I have 7 more candles to finish.I also need to repaint some of the fence from last year sitting out in the weather did a number on the paint.I still need to get my full size zombie moving(haven't got the springs yet)My halloween building that hubby is building is coming along.We have to put sheet rock up and paint and put stonehard floor finish on and it will be ready.I think we have a bat in there or visting sometimes.I have found bat dropings(is that ironic).Altho I am a fan of halloween do not care for creepy crawlies invading my space.So we have to get the eves done fast.Like mice I will run and scream at the site of a bat.So I hope he finds a new home.
I did buy the hex prop I have been wanting for awhile I think I will display him with my zombie dolls.
Eagerly wating to see if micheal myers will be the gemmy prop this year. ]]> halloween71 http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/halloween71/315-not-working-much.html http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/halloween71/308-some-more-progress.html Thu, 14 May 2009 20:20:04 GMT Here are some pictures of some props I have completed




I also have done a smaller churub tombstone like the ones above and some pvc candles.
I still need to put my zombie on the massager to make him move. ]]> halloween71 http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/halloween71/308-some-more-progress.html http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/halloween71/301-been-pluging-away.html Sun, 26 Apr 2009 19:27:16 GMT This week I got alot of props done.I did one zombie doll-finished a angel figure tombstone-almost done with a full size massager zombie still need to stuff him glue the pvc and try him out.I started a 4ft by 2ft tombstone to hide my peppers ghost child photo.Some photos are in my album.

I haven't done a run thru put together but adjusted it before hand.
I will get a video up whenever I get him out again.

Now I am working on a revamp of a christmas prop a angel that holds a candle and moves her head back and forth.To set on a tombstone.
I have applied joint compound (the best I could) and spray painted her gray.I was going to do monster mud but thought it may be to heavy for her to move.She looks good so far like a statue.
She moved before I worked on her I hope she works after if not static will still be good.
Before pictures of her and elvis finished are in my 09 prop album. ]]> halloween71 http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/halloween71/279-singing-elvis-done.html http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/halloween71/278-next-project.html Sun, 01 Feb 2009 16:30:42 GMT Well I am moving right along the next project which is my singing elvis.I have my sons old elvis costume I will use.I am using a scary terry talking skull that thinks to a wonderful member that gave me the idea to instead of triggering him to have a cd player playing continueous and insert silence to have it going when I want it to.CHEAP way to get what I want.So that is done.Now I need to buy the body I am leaning toward the skeletonstore half skeleton and make arms or maybe the full skeleton and just take the lower half off.I really like the talking skulls and hope to buy more to do more scenes.

Excuse the quality taken with dig camera.
Pretty pleased with how he turned out. ]]> halloween71 http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/halloween71/275-zombie-escape.html http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/halloween71/264-christmas-gift.html Tue, 30 Dec 2008 19:10:25 GMT Hubby bought me a half coffin so that gets marked off the list.
It has been so pretty and warm I repaired some tombstones that didn't stay glued when I put the metal stand up thru them.Around 7 that needed repair.
I think I am going to buy the thicker foam so I won''t have to glue.
I am done with the white ghost ,still on a holding pattern on zombie escape.
I got a cowlious talking skull that I am going to put in a half coffin dressed as elvis singing a elvis song. ]]> halloween71 http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/halloween71/264-christmas-gift.html http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/halloween71/257-head-done-zombie.html Tue, 09 Dec 2008 18:39:00 GMT I finished up my zombie head for my massager zombie.Picture is in the 09 prop section.Haven't been doing to much getting ready for christmas.Hopefully get back to it after the first of jan. ]]> halloween71 http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/halloween71/257-head-done-zombie.html http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/halloween71/256-one-prop-down.html Fri, 21 Nov 2008 19:12:04 GMT I am currently working on 2 props.A massager powered grave escape and a pumpkin rot inspired white ghost.The white ghost is 99% completed just need to add cheesecloth and a little more paint I am currently working on 2 props.A massager powered grave escape and a pumpkin rot inspired white ghost.The white ghost is 99% completed just need to add cheesecloth and a little more paint ]]> halloween71 http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/halloween71/256-one-prop-down.html http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/halloween71/252-all-wants-2009.html Sat, 08 Nov 2008 21:46:50 GMT My list grows and grows for 09.The kids enjoy the decorations so much and I want to change it up every year.
