Thanks for welcoming me to the forum! You will enjoy Midnight Syndicate's music! I entered one of the contests online and won a free cd of my choice! I chose Vampyre. Great music too! I met Edward Douglas twice, here in Canada! He remembered me the second time after we got chatting about their contest I entered and my winning photo! It was like meeting a Hollywood star! I think he knows me now as the very excited Canadian lady! Of their albums, I have: The Dead Matter, Vampyre, 13th Hour, Born of the Night, another one that is an Asylum one based on the Haverghast family from 13th hour which I cannot recall the name. It's cd 11 on my player in the van!! lol! I also have Destini Beard who sings along to some of the tracks by MS. The lyrics and vocals are all her. Very haunting melodies, there's just 6 or 7 songs though. (I got that one for free the second time Edward and I met!) I have two t-shirts and two movies of theirs. The Dead Matter is their newest release and The Rage is a movie their music is featured in. ENJOY!

I also got the raiser of the grave... what the hell was I thinking? Barely even used it, and spent 80$ on it... it was a total impulse buy... learn my lesson!

Hi Murtisha. I am sorry that I have not replied to you- I didn't see this message! So Sorry!
I make a regular paper mache pumpkin on a balloon. Then I pop the balloon and start adding alot of layers of paper mache to thicken the "rind." After I am happy with the size, i take a couple of paper towels and dip them in elmers glue and water and wring them out. I put one end of the towel inside the top edge of the pumpkin, and drape the twisted papertowel down onto the pumpkin bottom. I use one thin layer of paper mache over each "line." If you twist the paper towels together you get a line that can be as big as you want. I twist regular newspaper and sometimes thick printer paper- depending on my mood!

This will have to dry a few days. I put many thin layers of paper mache over each line to smooth it out. It takes ALOT of drying time because you do not want it to get mold.

Take care and let me see your results! Sorry again I didn't reply sooner! Hollow

Happy Birthday!!

Hope you have a very Happy Haunted Birthday!!!

Oh wow, that isn't too far away at all. Maybe I could drop by around Halloween and check out your haunt. Let me know. (No offense taken if you aren't interested.)
