    No, you're not crazy! I'm not a person who can learn things just by listening to a lecture, so anything different and unexpected is appreciated! It's interesting to see what other's view points are on it, but I still like it!

    Hey Terra, thanks for the add........I'll be making a bunch of tombstones this year, so I'll be watching your tutorial several times. I want to try to make my graveyard as realistic as possible. You can see the entire video of The Making of Dark Side of the Moon on Youtube. It's worth your time, I promise! So we're about the same age. I was really into The Wall in High School, Gilmour was the reason I started playing the guitar. You know, he received a lot of criticism for A Momentary Lapse of Reason. I think it mostly came from die hard Waters fans, but I never really agreed with them anyway. I thought, and still think, he carried on the band wonderfully without Roger Waters.......

    You lucky dog! I've never had the chance to see them live. Have you ever seen the documentary on the making of Dark Side Of The Moon? David Gilmour is a musical genius........

    Thanks for the link. The price is right. I balked at the other more realistic moss before because the price was almost nine dollars.

    Just a quick question - where do you pick up your moss? I have been using that stringy Irish Moss from Joann's, and it's okay for some things, but I like your fluffy moss.

    You were actually my main inspiration for the Joy character in that segment. Thank you for catching it.

Alrighty, here's my next edition of blog posts that may help you build a better haunt.

Seven Layers of Scare

Gurus of interior design follow basic rules in designing a great room. Christopher Lowell came out with a blockbuster book called the Seven Layers of Design. In haunting, we also use basic rules to make a room truly scary. I'm gonna call them Terra's Seven Layers of Scare:

One: Art Direction and/or Theme
Two: Walls, Ceilings and Floors...

Welcome to the first of a series of blog posts which are lessons to help make your haunt great. Today's blog post will focus on a post I did a while back on the thread, "To Theme, or Not to Theme."




At Transworld I went to a seminar called "Over the Top Art Direction" put on by the guys at House of Torment. They said their haunt was good but disconnected. They realized that to bring their haunt to the next level they must use cohesive art...

I have a strange quirk. My dad calls me a 'Jack of all Trades...Master at none' and doesn't mean that as a compliment. He gets frustrated with me because I will pick up a hobby ... get pretty good at it and then drop it and go for something else. These were my past hobbies: auto mechanics, auto racing, painting, sewing, home decor, gardening, jewelry making, cooking and a multitude of other minor crafts. Plus, I'm an avid reader. To be honest, I myself have been frustrated because none of these...

Last year was my first attempt at many things and most of them turned out great. Because it was such an ambitious direction there were many things that were just thrown together. So this year I'm going to sweep through the haunt and graveyard and up the effects.
Graveyard: All month I looked at it and thought it was missing two things. One I knew what it was but the other eluded me. The one thing I knew it needed was animation. Luckily, Dave in the Grave's Peeping Tombstone will be the perfect solution.

My first blog entry....well, what should I say? I know:

I love Halloween Forum! I've had a passion for haunting the house but it seemed to be only enjoyed by kids but no peers. I've always wondered when fellow neighbors complimented me if they were just being polite. Now, I know that there's a whole big, loving community of haunters! Heaven!

I get great ideas, honest feedback and much needed kudos. Home haunting is a passion that must be shared. This is the place. Thank...
