Thread: 2009 Halloween video

Tweet

I took video a couple of days before Halloween. A night when the weather was perfect to keep the fog hanging around. I really couldn't count on that happening on Halloween night. I was glad I did. I didn't even run the machines on Halloween because of the wind.

Well, anyway, I took the video which was almost 10 minutes long and cut it down a bit and added music, instead of the ambient sounds, which I would have liked to keep, but the sounds got drowned out as cars drove by and planes flew over.

Here is what I came up with, crudely:

wow , i saw the pic in another thread before halloween but seing the video is even better , it's a ghoul party very cool display and a great prop collection

nice job on your haunt

very cool!! love the winged demon / gargoyle thing. and the cemetery entrance and fence is great, how did you make the fence? I also loved the skelly sitting up in the coffin. great looking haunt!!

Thanks for the kind words. I entered the raw video in the Home Haunters Association haunt of the year contest (http://www.homehauntersassociation.com/), but couldn't get this video entered as my computer crashed and I missed the deadline. I would rather have this video as my entry. Oh well. Check out their contest and all of the other submitted videos.

Bethene - the stone wall fence actually covers my regular white, pvc picket fence. The white fence really doesn't work with the cemetery. I used spray adhesive to mount scene setters to sheets of hardboard. I built the pillars to slide over the top of the regular fence posts out of 2"x4"s and plywood and covered them with gray spray paint and more scene setter to match the panels. Then they are all screwed together. The tops are boards screwed together to match up with the pillars and attach the tops of the panels to. Everything is painted gray and then polyurethaned. Plus its easy to store. All the panels stack up along the wall in the garage and the pillars I pile up in front of them.

Looks great!!!

Love the archway and the syncronized lights. Looks like a lot of work went into that, and clearly, it paid off!
