  1. Creating New Worlds with Props

    by , 12-07-2011 at 04:08 AM
    It seems to me that every haunter, to one degree or another, strives to create a fantasy world. Some are very close to reality with just a few decorations here and there to add eeriness. Others try to fully immerse their visitors in a world of their own creation.

    In hopes that you will find it inspiring, I offer these two videos of professionals who literally created entirely new worlds from the props up - Middle Earth and Narnia. You and I may never have the budget or equipment ...

    Dean Koontz, as I have said before, is brilliant. He writes great stories about fascinating characters. One of these is Odd Thomas. He sees dead people. Because of this, they gravitate to him for help in resolving their issues. They can't actually speak to him, but he usually finds a way.

    I know some people just are not "readers", and some are but like being entertained too. For both groups, I share a series of webisodes featuring Dean Koontz's most popular character. ...

    It's good bye to Holiday Hollow and hello to Hitch Park.

    OK, so I don't like to think of myself as one to "toot my own horn", yet I still felt compelled to share this pic of me in costume at the Festival last weekend. Even in full light it was a hit.

    Just putting that out there, I guess. GO see Grant Brummett's photo stream. I've been a fan of his for a long time, and was truly ...
  5. Blackbeard's Tombstone: Tutorial

    by , 11-24-2011 at 03:25 PM (Terra's Lair)
    JustWhisper was my Secret Reapee and she had a wonderful 'like' - pirates! Always made a tombstone for my SR's gift and was thrilled to have the challenge of making a pirate tombstone. This is a tutorial of how to make your own. Note: This is a small stone design because it had to be shipped to JustWhisper. You may want to scale this larger for your graveyard. The stone's dimensions are 28" tall, 17" wide and 13" deep.
