I am in... Just rambling ideas around for 2009 haunt

I really want to try to make my cemetery bigger, just use it for the whole theme this year.

I am in the process of recreating a version of the crying angel/beloved statue. Right now I am working on the tombstone facade, I already have the dress, foam core head and wig for the project.

Today I am suppose to go by and look at some mannequin parts that will be donated by a business. I also have a contact at another business who will be donating some more parts to me later.. Yeah!!!

There are several larger stones that I would like to recreate.

Now I am seriously thinking about breaking down and doing the FCG and hopefully find the courage to tackle the pop up tombstone project, seeing as how I have already bought all the stuff to do it, just need to spend a whole day and put it together. Stop procrastinating lacey...

Lets see, would like to add some zombies in there, but that might not happen. Thinking classic haunted cemetery. More of a visual cemetery then an actual scare...

Would like to try to incorporate moss, lighting, sound, cold wind, a few WTh's in there.. LOL got myself on that one. ooooo ground fogger of course.

I have been taking a ton of pictures of the cemeteries around here and hopefully I can recreate a few details.

Nervous about this project, because I really want to visually capture the essence of a classic spooky graveyard.

I am hoping that I can ask one of the photographers here at the newspaper to come back and professional shoot the cemetery for me. That would be pretty awesome to actual get the shots that I want and to share with the members.

Lets see final thoughts.... Stop procrastinating actually get up off my butt and finish at least one project... ]]> TheGothicPrincess http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/thegothicprincess/294-ideas-2009.html http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/thegothicprincess/255-2009-projects.html Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:20:28 GMT There are so many things I would like to do.

I have the space for them, the problem would I have is using power tools and money. I have the tools, I have the husband that knows how to use those tools, finding the money and time for him to build them, is another problem I am facing.

Some things I am interested in attempting are:

Bigger and better tombstones.
FCG
Animated pop up person
static props that are realistic
motion activated trigger
talking boris

that is just to name a few.

Hopefully with joining the social group project thread I can accomplish one or two things.

Then add in the contests we will have over the year, I may have several new props to add to my haunt. ]]> TheGothicPrincess http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/thegothicprincess/255-2009-projects.html http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/thegothicprincess/218-i-am-87-finished-my-decorating.html Wed, 01 Oct 2008 01:40:02 GMT Well tomorrow is the 1st of October and I am nearly finished with my decorating.

Everyone else is starting to put their stuff up and I am sitting back and enjoying mine.

Every year I have to start early, because every weekend in the month of October is filled for me.

I didn't get the hearse, 2nd coffin or skull built. I did purchase several new tombstones. I acquired 2 huge bags of white sheets, which I turned into the maze of pain.

Katie and I created a ghost girl, I lost my flying ghosts this year, We moved the cemetery into the front yard.

I am still trying to get the lighting to work. I have decided on blue floodlights.


ooooo I did build my first fog chiller, a few kinks to work out, but it does awesome..

more to come. ]]> TheGothicPrincess http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/thegothicprincess/218-i-am-87-finished-my-decorating.html http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/thegothicprincess/67-projects-i-am-working-2008.html Mon, 07 Apr 2008 03:17:40 GMT Grave Digger Horse Drawn Hearse 2nd Coffin Fog chiller Stryo foam tombstones Grave Digger
