    Things been okay, I guess, the weather has been horrible here, we are almost twice less hot than normal tempurature. It's been raining, cold and humid. Barely any sunshine lately. Halloween wise, due to the weather, I didn't yet approach anyone to do a pro haunt yet. To be honest, not sure I'll bother this year. I did build a few props early this spring, like a LADY IN BLACK and another SILENT HILL nurse. I just need to finish my PYRAMID HEAD, and stains some skelly. I am so glad for you, may I...

    That's hard to believe that these were your first tombstones. Love the texture!

    Hey Lisa! Love the profile pic - it's shame they default to being so small. Just wanted to say the "Welcome" section of the forums sometimes gets a little quiet - you'll get a more feedback once you wander into the other sections. You might even want to add your guard costume in this thread... http://www.halloweenforum.com/halloween-costume-ideas/74660-show-off-your-costume-183.html ..and it might get a few more eyeballs. You really did a fantastic job!

    No, I think you're fine with posting links like that. There should even be a section in your settings under "edit profile" called "Home Page URL" where you can pop that in, and it will be added to your "about me" page. You could even put a little link to it in your signature. I think you're allowed up to three links in your signature, but you need to keep it respectable. ;) Here's the link to forum news and rules, if you're interested. http://www.halloweenforum.com/forum-news-rules/ I...

    I just started adding a few simple moving props to the yard in the last two years. I feel like a rocket scientist now. :D I wonder how tough it'd be to find a motor capable of lifting that lid continuously though. (usually when I see that kind of thing the lids are faux wood made out of foam.) You could always start with just propping the lid open or to the side (which might be more authentic) and then having a peeper or a hand pop out. Those are easy to make if you can find a reindeer motor....

    Hey Lisa. Saw this costume yesterday and thought it looked absolutely amazing. Always great to see someone go to the effort to get all the little details right. (Just watched the new Oz movie last night and it's definitely left me nostalgic for the old one.) I think it's likely just a case of you needing a few posts under your belt before the blogging permissions open up. I couldn't find any facts on that, but there's probably a limit to keep people from joining just to create spam blogs. I...

    This isn't the thread you were thinking about, is it? http://www.halloweenforum.com/merchant-reviews/126592-anyone-ever-purchased-anything-here.html Depending on your setup, you may automatically subscribe to any threads you post to. You could also click on "find latest posts" on your "My Profile" page, and if you have a rough idea when the discussion was, that should help narrow it down. A little tougher if you post a lot though.

    Nah, just had something to share today for a change - doesn't happen very often. Yeah, I think the Ouija board could be a nice prop for our skeletons this year. I picked up a few extra reindeer motors last year, so at least I have that. It'll just be cutting the wood that'll be the tough part. I don't have any power tools so things could get interesting. "Rustic" is IN, right?

    Try putting your link (the one you're posting is suspended, so it doesn't show what it is you were looking at) into the wayback machine's archive search: http://archive.org/web/web.php If the page had lots of graphics, it may not show up, but you might get lucky.

    I have had the same issue,, and did what Bethany suggested,, of course, they did not know ( til now :rolleyes:) but it worked out and every one was happy! Also with the big reaper last year, I had to send out 370ish names, so before every one even got their reaper I had people asking if they could still join so squeezed them in, but if I felt it was too late, I messaged them my apologies, but that it was too late.

    That was a fun read - your Halloween history summed things up nicely (We live not too far from Blackie, Alberta so I was thrilled when I read on Wikipedia that it played a part in Trick or Treating.) Didn't know about the She & Him version of "I Put A Spell on You". That's pretty sweet!

    Hi Marie, just catching up with everyone, it looks like you've been busy at other things. Hope all is well and that your halloween plans for this year are going ok! All the best!

    Happy New Year Marie! I have now posted my 2011 pics. I was disappointed that I didn't remember to take night shots, so there are only daytime shots. I have also started an album of wrought iron and graveyards. I started this when I was searching for wrought iron designs for my Gothic Garden, so a new little hobby was born! I will post my garden sometime too. All the best for 2012.

    Hi Marie, I hope your halloween went well. I have blogged my walkthru, no pictures yet, working on that. It went well, we made our Creepy Carnival interactive for the kiddies. You have to play games at a carnival. Big kids asked...."Is there clowns inside?" insert evil laugh here!
  4. Love all your cemetary pics. My kids tease me about all of the cemetaries they were drug through on family vacations. As a result they have threatend to burry me in one of the newer genneric cemetaries. You know the ones with flush ground momuments, topped with bunches plastic flowers. I told them I would haunt them forever if they did that!!!

    Hi, Marie!

    How are your plans coming along for this year?

    We're starting to feel the crunch as the clock ticks down, but hopefully it will all come together (or at least some of it!)

    Hi Marie! Just an update on the anniversary stays. So far, no haunted hotel nights. Haven't booked any - out of our budget right now. Something to save for though. Thanks for the suggestions, have written them in my Halloween Idea book!

    Thank you so much for your comment. Compared to other people's haunts and talents I was not feeling as confident about what we put together. Thank you again!

    Thanks so much Marie for the kind words and the friending. Our display has a long way to go but it gets a little bit better each year. The skeletons are the one big yard project my wife has each year. She sets 'em up and decides what they'll be doing. (I think she said they'll be playing The Game of Life this year!)

    Shoppers used to be great for Halloween. I picked up some really nice univerrsal monster masks there on clearance. They had the skeletons for 3 or 4 years and then switched them out for another big impressive item (Giant skulls, I think?) Not much there last year though.

    I'd live to see a night shot of the ghosts in action. I'm sure they look amazing. And as for the riser, he is perfect. I guess old Halloween props never die (because they're already dead?)

    Thanks again!
