Hi!
I am a newbie

so forgive me if I manage to ask something that is in the posts somewhere, trying to sift through all the old posts slowly.
Little bit about me. I grew up as a child watching horror movies, love scary things, haunted houses, grumsome movies and haven't realized how much I LOVE halloween until we finally bought our own townhouse. Problem is that we don't have much room to store things, so I have taken over one of our spare bedrooms

I love making my own props when able. Am hoping to be able to do pneumatic props in the future, but for now since I am working fulltime and doing online schooling, don't have much time. 2010 was out first official 'Halloween' in our place so 2011 will be even better! My husband thinks I am a little crazy when I started to do halloween props at the end of August, but I managed to get him into it closer to halloween

Recently bought a sewing machine and am hoping to be able to sew my own costume (Sally's dress) in the summer, although I don't know how to sew..lol...I figure I will learn =) Only problem is, I can't find any pictures of the back to Sally's dress...Will contine to keep hunting.
So excited to find a forum dedicated to Halloween! Can't wait for June, school course will be over, and more time for Halloween!

Tip I learned from Halloween 2010: If you put liquid latex over half your face and neck, it is going to HURT like a majorly sticky bandaid being ripped from your skin when you try to remove it..lol..not a pleasant experience...
