    Hey you! Happy to see you back! :) Just read your older post about the new house - sounds like its got tons of Halloween potential - it'd be so cool to have the woods in the back yard. Good to hear the husband has gotten aboard the Halloween train too. You're in for an awesome year!

    Nice recycle of older mask...love the black strips as well. I have used spray foam and chix wire, in the past, for body forms, but never thought about inside a mask...Great Idea...thanks for sharing! PB

    Yes, have been doing this for many years and usally my homemade projects take up so much time that I don't get to any homemade stone.....but with all the great tuts that I see here, I will need to start some of my own someday. I have painted some of the stones and added dates and such....but would like to make some following some of the awesome talent on the forum.

    Thanks....Here in Texas, we have Spanish Moss growing from the Oak trees.....so I grabbed a bunch one year and made the mistake of storing in a trash bag. The next year everything had turned to dust. So if you grab/buy any moss, keep in an open box and it should last many years to come.

    Shebear1 - The good thing is at least the neighbors are trying to shut you down because you are a "Devil Worshiper", (well I don't know this for sure, but least they want to continue the fun) Not sure what your theme is, but I would try and add small little areas in the cul-de-sac that lead up to your haunt such as a Creepy Ticket Booth, Scary Food cook-out area, Spooky face painting table etc...etc....and let them help build and/or decorate that part while you keep your haunt...your haunt....

    You're right Greenwick - I neglected to mention Pixar. I really do think that Disney did an awesome job with their Prep and Landing specials though, and I wouldn't be surprised if Pixar had a hand in those - if not animating, then maybe their brain trust plussing the stories a bit. I read somewhere that this is actually the first of 2 specials with the second planned for 2014. My BIG hope is that Toy Story of Horror might be a trend setter and maybe we'll get a new batch of Halloween...

    not sure on the painting...but I would think a light dusting on either the mask or the shield or both would be ok. I use the Rust-Oleum Fusion spray paint and seems to stick on anything just fine. (made for plastic) Send us a pic if you get some made. PB

    Sorry DG....I didn't see any other images right now. You get so busy running around on the big day that you forget to take pics of all the props until it's too late. I could get some more images taken if you let me know what you are interested in. I have the top and bottom stored in two different places. Let me know. Thanks, PB

    It's not bad. They pour a ton of money into it. They built a huge new section a bunch of years back for the Canadian wilderness! You can go and NOT see animals there just like you don't see them in nature. Some kind of "ethical treatment" BS. ;) The new big attraction right now is penguins. We have yet to see them - I think you have to have connections to even get close.

    See, I am used to working in entertainment, production and live shows. I LOVE haunting so if i could join the two together and be successful at it, i would ultimately be at my happiest. My haunt is big and gets thousands of people, so i know it is outgrowing itself fast, not to mention the neighbors that HATE us LOL. So yeah....i definitely want to go pro.

    That sounds like a smart plan, Bam. The color change alone will likely give everything a completely different feel and then you've got the vines and stuff which should really make it seem like a different place. It sounds like a really smart way of getting a completely new haunt without building everything from scratch.

    Not much happening here. We got up to almost 80º which is almost unheard of for this time of year, and the forecast looks like it'll stay warm and dry for the next week. I still think there's a chance we'll get more snow before the end of the month though.

    Yeah Rot is amazing and start blogging my work some time ago, which is how i found him. Very down to earth guy and so inspirational. What kind of lighting are you using?

    haha well, i am really new to you tube but all the peeps from this forum have gotten me really into it. They all have a ton of tutorials, are all incredibly supportive and have become great friends. Did you see that your haunt was blogged at Pumpkinrot?

    I lose myself in there! Are you on You tube?

    Well, you do an amazing job, Bam! Any accolades are well deserved!

    No, I'm still here. Always here.

    Candee and I were just talking about a spambot - for a couple of weeks there it was posting to about 10 threads a night every night. Always around the same time. And then the mods would come in and clean it up. It would actually copy content from other posts in the same thread for it's posts, so it was a little less obvious that it was just a program. Weird.

    I feel for you snow-wise. I mowed the front lawn today but there's a good chance that we'll get another dump soon. It's not uncommon to get 8 inches the May 24th long weekend. If you put out your bedding plants before then here, there's a good chance your spouse will have you committed. Makes for a heckuva long winter though.

    Looking forward to seeing what you got up your sleeve this year. If you need a hand with anything that my hands are actually capable of, just holler.

    HOLY CRAP, Bam! Just saw you over at Pumpkinrot's Blog! (Candee beat me to it!)
    *Bows to the master!* You rock!!!
    He picked some great photos too. Glad to see your haunt getting some extra exposure. He knows good stuff when he sees it!

    Congratulations!
