That's a great idea for your sponsors. I'm sure they'll love being part of the haunt in a different way. Very creative!!

you can look at the company here...
Hotwire Foam Factory
there is a great gallery too, with many wonderful creations that people have done. I bought my hot wire stuff from INTERNET MODEL TRAINS™ - Model Railroading and Toy Trains
select tools, then a sub category, foam working tools. They have even better prices than the foam factory itself. I'm not an expert, but if you have questions, feel free to email me and I'll try to answer them.

If it's foam used for tombstones you can get it at Home Depot or Lowe's. The blue or pink kind is the easiest to work with.

Ahwahneeliz: Check out the picture of the house I saw at the link you provided: Foam Fangs!

ACK! Somehow (pilot error) I managed to unsub from this thread... I wasn't ignoring y'all, I promise. Blades, you can get the foam at most larger home improvement centers. If you live in a small town (or outside of one like me, can we say the sticks) you might be able to get it at the local lumber supply for a greatly inflated price. I use the regular white (expanded little beads like the cheapo ice chests) in a couple of thicknesses. In our area it is about 1/3 the price of the pink and blue, and the carving I do comes out just fine on it. I also get scraps from our local Sears store, they sell a fair amount of refrigerators and I find some pretty good pieces there. I have recently discovered that pet stores receive their fish in protective foam boxes, and these have great shapes. You can use a variety of blades to cut, shape and carve. I have a set of hot wire foam tools that I love. If you run a search on this forum or the web, you should be able to find plenty of info... or you can PM me and I'll gladly answer any questions I can... although there are some very talented foam carvers here.

Terra, I've seen that pick and get a kick out of it. It's also a good reminder to think outside the box with materials and what you can do with them.
