first build of the year. I love a hard deadline.....besides i won’t get burnt out designing and building props all year long.

Holy Moly Batman! Starting a new build a couple of weeks before? That's just showing off. It takes me a couple of days to untangle an extension cord. I had a self imposed new build cut off on 9-30. I started keeping a set up task list and looking at it I'm already getting stressed that there isn't enough time to set up stuff I already have plus I see folks in this forum that have already set up weeks ago. It takes every fiber in my soul to stay focused at the tasks at hand and not get distracted by stuff on the to do pile : - )

hey russ, lol...after doing this for over 6 years i have most of my mechanisms built. i just repurpose them and dress them differently. i set up halloween morning and take down by 9pm halloween night.

i had a viewer on my youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/halloweenbert) suggest that i build a spider cocoon. i plan on having a large spider mounted on a scissor prop to jump right at them.

take care, bert
