    Key to a good scare is to have a matching distraction. They are looking for the scare so trick them into thinking it's the distraction. Then nail 'em with the real scare! :)

    Hi back :) No, I don't sell them but I often give them away. I always make one for the Secret Reaper and once for a prize with the Hauntcast Resurrection. The one tombstone you are talking about I gave away to a charity :(

    I sure will. You all are like my Halloween family and love the fact that we are connected via the internet instead of by location. heheh... I called one of the utilities there to set-up the service and when we were all done the lady said, "Well honey, I'm gonna be praying for you. You don't know what you've done." Lol! heh... that is one state I want to explore more. We went to the cactus museum in Phoenix at nighttime - it was the spookiest thing! Very cool.

    Thanks Ryan! Yes, hubby is excited and terrified at the same time at these new changes. My new job for a while will be to keep him calm. Looking forward to seeing the improvements of the joints. I thought they were awesome already. Thank you! This has been nuts but luckily these stressful changes are good changes. It's been crazy busy the last week - barely have time to check in over here at the forum and it's going to get even nuttier in the next two weeks. We closed on the Texas house...

    Made a tut on how to make a pallet-wood toe-pincher if that would help: http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/terra/785-pallet-toe-pincher-coffin-tutorial.html I guess for the inside it would depend on what type of vamp you are thinking. Personally I would stay away from the traditional satin style fabric. If a coffin is made of wood - the body in it would have been wrapped in cheap muslin cloth/burlap and then rotted as the years past.

    Right now, not so sure about keeping the Hell Hound. He is a PITA to crate, lol. Thanks for the well-wishes. Kind of feel bad for the new owners. Are they going to be for a shock when they see the hoards approach, lol! So can't wait to become a Texan!

After all the hoops and roadblocks that had to be overcome to get these props to you - to get that picture means the world to me. So happy that I found you to take care of them and let me know if you ever need any help with the events you are planning :) Thank you! Thanks and I hope so too.

    Sorry I didn't see this before but thank you :) It took me about 2 months to build the HellHound but a lot of time was wasted trying to figure out how to make the scales in a way that was realistic so thank you for the compliments on them. His tail is as long as his body - not including the head. But, then it's curled up like you see.

    Thank you and hope to be back building soon. We are going to try to cram some of the workbenches into a spare bedroom and see how that works. Should be interesting... Thanks and yes, now that the time is rapidly approaching and I don't have to be secretive anymore - it's getting really fun. Ha, ha, ha - you are so funny. Yep, I gave him the props to do with as he wishes so we'll both see ;)

    Thanks and wow, that was tough. But, in the end it was the best thing, I think. Aww, thanks. Yeah, Eric was just floored when I proposed it to him. He's a super great guy and very creative with his own events so I personally can't wait to see how he and his group use them. I am sooo looking forward to exploring Austin. We only make it out for the occasional visit to the folks and each time I didscover a new love. I could go on and on about the most amazing BBQ joint they have...

    Thanks! Yup, looking forward to the fresh haunt start also. Last year I was starting to get physically tired from all the hard work it takes but we had the best year and so this is the perfect time to let it go. Can't wait to see how my Halloween building spirit manifests into it's new form. Thank you. Unfortunatly, the way the house is I'd never be able to have a haunt there. It's way out in the country and the community is tricky to get to (it's like a lost city, kind of). But, perfect...

    Hold onto your props - I've got a big announcement about some exciting new changes in my life. I thought the best way to get the word out is through video. (Probably been wondering why I've been quiet lately)....

    Not sure what picture you are asking about. The picture that you commented on I designed the pipes and drips, the zombie body was from a comic book cover found online and the hand was found online from another source. The wall being broken into I found from a iPad comic app that featured the comic from the movie Terminator Salvation. Hope that helps :)

    Thanks for that tip. Yeah, it killed me to fork over another $100 just to get better sound. Luckily, it had the built in sound and programming which then made me a happy camper :)

    I don't run mine outdoors - you'd have to rig up some kind of enclosure for that. Don't have any experience with the 103's, 104's.

    Hey, sorry it took so long to reply. Yeah, I actually have a short video of my 1st test of the fog chiller. At the time I only had about 15 lbs. of ice in the cooler. I also had to duct tape the opening to keep all the fog from leaking out. It worked out really well on the big night with 20 lbs. of ice and lasted the whole night. I will be using it every Halloween.

    Hi Attain, Thanks for the friends request. I accepted. Looking forward to working out some prop ideas with ya. From a below post it looks like you are located at the opposite end of the city than I am but still nice to talk to someone on the forum that is "local".

    My software can be motion activated with an Insteon Motion Sensor. In the "Triggered" mode, LSM only runs the show when it is activated by another Insteon device, such as a motion sensor. If you just want to add specific audio to a prop, I've heard that the ELK-124 module (actually made for a security system) is a good way to do it. It is relay-activated, so you could hook up a motion sensor to it and it will play the recorded audio. I haven't used them yet, though.
