issue

Work is about to get ugly for me so I need to start my decorative planning pretty quickly. I have limited storage room for any newer items so I am trying to make things as tiny as possible. As the title says, I am thinking about a foldable coffin. If I were to build one (not for actual human...

I could really use some advice to save me time and aggravation. See my video first: https://youtu.be/dUAD_fsq1fA I'm having a couple challenges with the head. First, what should I do to get the head to come up more vertical? At its highest point, it is still too angled down for my taste. My...

As background, I have purchased several masks from Trick or Treat Studios. I didn't have any problems with the transactions, and the masks arrived in good shape. I posted reviews of each mask on their website, in which I went into some detail. My 4- and 5-star reviews were approved, and they...

It's been raining nonstop here for weeks, now, and I'm so far behind it's just sad at this point. However, I thought if nothing else, I could get my giant fire dragon set up on the porch and hopefully that would build some momentum. ...except I can't get his dadgummed frakkin' lakkin' head to...

Hello There, Very new to this forum but I have a problem going on with my Pumpkin Nester Prop. :mad:I plug him in and he does not activate as normal. I then unplug then plug him back into the wall and he activates. Seems as if only unplugging from wall then plugging back in activates him. Any...

We're getting our 2017 Pennywise buttoned up, and an issue came up over the weekend. The issue is Pennywise wears his hair a very certain way, and the mask's wig is made and shaped to look like that, but we're worried about what'll happen once Pennywise is out in the wind and rain. We were...

Every year we have awards for several "Best" categories. My wife has little trophies made up and we hand them out for things like: Best Costume, Best Kid Costume, Scariest, Yummiest Snack, etc. The issue we have is counting the votes. The ballots are paper, and we have to count all of them for...
