  1. thank you!!!!
    'Beloved' is supposed to be my last project for this season. But, as I was sitting around today waiting for loctite to dry, I realized that I was going stir crazy and need another project. So, I was going to build a pvc & chiken wire frame and MM it. sure beats having to do housework. uggghhhh, hope I'm never that bored!!!! LOL
  2. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Terra, don't know if this question has been asked/ answered yet- but how much MM did you have left over after you finished MM'ing Beloved? was thinking since I'm going to be covered in 'slop' that I might as well MM a few other projects, while I'm at it. thanx, in advance. Cathy

    Good morning !



    Have a great day!

    Should have some photoshoots on The Vampire Lestat and Ichobod Crane characters soon.

    By taking some of the costumes i already have and adding different accessories I have created new characters at minimum cost,

    Adding a Victorian ladies wig, hat, broach, purse and glasses with chain to my Aunt/Granny drsss I have become a Victorian lady! Max cost less than $75.00. Will have to post that one as well.

    Have a great day!

    Terra, you AMAZE me! I LOVE halloween so much, but know nothing about pneumatics, or trying to make my props animated. Did you learn by trial and error? What would be a good first prop for someone who's scared of power tools?! Incredible, simply incredible!

    Terra you are definitely right about Laurie...it's such a pleasure to know her, see her work and know that she is so willing to help new sculptors. Now about your new workshop, have you posted pictures anywhere? I'm dying to see it. I actually worked in my workshop tonight...painting some neat bird houses my hubby made for my garden. I probably won't get to serious Halloween business for a few more weeks. My garden needed love and I'm taking the time to restructure some things. It will be worth it because I'm designing in some great display areas for props. It's like scoring double bonus points.

    Hey....thanks for the Christmas and New Years wish last year.......LOL. Gosh, hard to believe it was early Nov the last time I have visted this site, but I am getting the fever for what I hope is a grrrrreat haunting season. I hope all is well with you up in KC and things on your yard are progressing along. Your in my opinion the Halloween Mistress of this site.

    Hi Terra! I'm just getting caught up with Halloween Forum happenings. Your Terra sculpt is fabulous. I can't wait to see how you display her in the vat. I'm keeping my plans simple for the year. We were thinking of moving, but have made a final decision to stay here so I'm getting back on track with plans for props. I'm just planning on building props for a witch's kitchen this year...fun project with unlimited potential for expansion over the years. I'll be watching for more progress from one of the most talented builders on the forum. Hugs, MT
  9. Yes, if you are ever in the Idaho area around halloween stop in! Party is a great time!

Here's a space filler for large voids or openings in your haunt. Plus they look cool too:


These were large cardboard boxes given a makeover using paint and monster mud.

Please watch this quick video to help you get an overall idea of how the build will be like:

Foam Sculpt and Scale Halloween Monster Props: Tutorial

by Terra on 04-29-2012 at 04:56 PM


This tutorial will show how to design, cut, carve, sand, scale and paint a prop made out of foam. It will follow a Hell Hound build made for our 2012 haunt. The Hell Hound is a static yet intimidating prop. If it was real monster it would measure 10' nose to tip of tail. The prop's tail is curled so it's actual length is 8' but the height is still

8' long Tentacle Arms: Tutorial

by Terra on 03-22-2012 at 04:24 AM
Got these terrific tentacle arms from Fright Props but needed two things to make them work for our haunt. First, they needed to be hangable. Second, they had to be extended another 3 feet to be long enough to hang from the 13' ceilings in the garage so they'd be scary. The plan was to have five of them in a tight part of the haunt and the little ToTs had to touch them to go around. To make it even more intimidating - they were painted in fluorescent paint, two were rotating slowly on mirror ball

Transworld 2012

by Terra on 03-16-2012 at 07:33 AM
It was bigger this year! I didn't see huge new stand-out props BUT the vendors took existing ideas and ramped it up to level 11. It was awesome. As usual made a highlight video which is the best way to get an overview of the show:





My favorite prop of the show was The Thing-type monster grabbing at the girl on the table. Made by Dark Raven Designs. $3,650

Castle Of Terra: Vampyr Reign 2012 Plan

by Terra on 02-19-2012 at 06:04 AM
Alrighty, it's time once again to plan the haunt. This year's theme is Vampyr Reign which may be familiar to you. This was also the theme for 2009. We have three rotating themes to cut down on the work of designing and building. Hopefully 3 years is enough time for the ToTs to completely forget what it was like. But, that doesn't mean everything is exactly the same. In fact, starting to think that I might as well make a new name for the haunt because there are so many new things this year.
