Hi Spookilicious mama! Yep, I realized he was purchased after seeing your second album where you had him under normal lighting. But he definitely stands out and looks very menacing under the great lighting you guys did for Halloween.

The fog chiller is actually pretty easy to make. It's the stenciling that took me the most time to create, and that's only if you want to make it look like a toxic waste drum. The thread that describes how to make the chiller is here:

I'd suggest getting a 55 gallon plastic drum with a removable lid - you should be able to find them on Ebay or Craigslist. We got ours for about $35, I think. Gromit05 liked it so much she wants me to make another, and I just found a local (Houston) source for more. At least now I have the stencils already made.
Twelve bags of ice from McDonalds easily lasted the 4 hours I ran it on Halloween. The fog machine used was a VEI V935 that I got from Minions Web, both of which I'd recommend. And Froggy's Freezin was the fog juice we used.

Give me a shout if you want me to go over how I made the jack-o lantern scarecrow. The structure is easy and your husband could knock it out in no time. Its the head that takes a while. But you could also make a pretty creepy burlap head for it - maybe with glowing LED/pingpong eyes, in case you wanted to skip the mess of paper mache.

Talk with you later. Hope you had a great Halloween!

Well, since your in the cleaning mood, why don't you come to my house too! LOL I had a great time and the weather was good too. However, my ToT turnout seemed low. Most of my ToTs came and went before it was dark enough for the lights to be on! Crazy but I am going to have to get some signs out next year well before the big day to hopefully attract more ToTs!

Glad to hear you had a big time. If I had more turnout, I would definitely put up a donations box for our parishes' healthcare foundation. Just like the food drive idea, but a slightly diffferent cause. Tonight, sadly the display will be taken down. I might even have withdraws!!!

Just loved all your photos, and the coffins turned out great! Did you have a big turn out this year?

well, that is great that things went well, took lots of pics I hope!!
As far as hubby, he seems to be in more pain the past couple of days, I think there is still infection, and the tape is making his skin sore, so need to get a gentler kind but then it might not stick, oh well, I kinda think that the doc will end up putting a tube in. but he has to wait til next tuesday for his appointment,
I did put up a small cemetery and a witch, the pics are a bit blurry, I do so need to get a tripod, was going to but decided not to when we canceled the bigger haunts. well, looking forward to you pics!

Hey Spooki! Thanks for the kind photo comments! I'll make a deal with you...I'll get my MysterE to build your hearse - if you will build our Crypt!! Yours is the inspiration for our next project... (well -- so far it's just me... I have to spring these projects on hubby v-e-r-y carefully! LOL) So looking forward to sharing great ideas on HF over the next 364 days! BOO!

hey, Spooki, how did it all go with you? Hope you had a great halloween! we had about 30 TOTers, not bad for a cold night, at least it stopped raining.!!

Happy Halloween, Spooki!!
