  2. Vincent Price – Caedmon Spooky Story albums (1970’s)

    by , 07-30-2011 at 08:11 PM (Sounds of Darkness)


    Like many folks my age, I was introduced to Vincent Price by way of the Brady Bunch … remember that one, where they visit Hawaii? Mr. Price played a lunatic living in a cave who talked to his imaginary friend, Oliver. I was terrified of him (Price, not Oliver). My other early memories of Price are through his voice work for Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”, and “The Great Mouse Detective”. While he certainly is more famous as a horror ...

  3. Sublimation Process for creating Stains?!?!

    by , 07-27-2011 at 07:08 AM
    OK, so for the few who don't already know, sublimation is when a solid becomes a gas without becoming liquid in between. Every haunter in the world has seen this in the form of dry ice fog. I have no idea how the term applies to the process in the video, but it creates a cool effect - cloth that looks old and dirty but is actually new and sturdy. ;-)

    Wouldn't it be great to go to Joanne Fabric and get a bolt of old and stained?

    You got the pneumatic rigging but no idea how to put a monster on it? Well, this may be for you.

    Almost didn't post this tutorial because I really screwed up while making him Had to make major adjustments to the monster once he was moved into the haunt so the pictures aren't quite showing the steps in a 1,2,3 sort of order. Hope it's cobbled together good enough to be helpful.

    This is based on the small lunger prop from FrightProps http://www.frightprops.com/air-elect...mech-0760.html ...

  5. Rue Morgue Radio – Hymns From the House of Horror Vol. II (2011)

    by , 07-23-2011 at 11:11 AM (Sounds of Darkness)

    Rue Morgue Radio is a fun website featuring a weekly music radio show and horror news. This is their second horror music compilation, and it doesn’t deviate much from the pattern set by last year’s tracks. Some heavy metal, some psychobilly, some garage rock, and some stuff that’s just plain hard to categorize. I’ve never heard of any of the artists except GWAR (thanks to Beavis and Butthead). It’s mostly guitar-driven melodies ...
