  1. 2012...New Year, New Wish List

    by , 12-29-2011 at 01:09 PM
    Is it really this time of year again? Gosh each year seems to be going by faster and faster.
    Time for my annual Halloween wish list. I'm really getting excited to head into the leaisurely building/creating/plotting season I can smell the paper mache all ready:

    1. New Crypt - we had quite a struggle with the old one this past year, as boards for the walls and roof were horribly warped. Thank goodness we were able to mask it with vines/moss. To make sure we get a new crypt,

    Borrowed from "The Artist's Survival Kit"

    Haunting is definitely an art. Everything from sets and props to costumes and acting is an art unto itself. I thought this might be appreciated here.
