Feeling much better now! I recently did major script updates to this site and many others. So make sure to check them out. 10:07 PM - 11/26/2006Halloween Photos 20063:56 PM - 11/7/2006OwlI saw this owl last year in The Crow 1994's collection. I found it this year for a good price. It's much better than the all black one I had. 10:33 AM - 10/19/2006RatI liked this foot long rat so I added it to the collection. 10:32 AM - 10/19/2006Breath of lifeWell, things a little bit better than before. I moved into a house in St. Charles, Illinios and the landlord was kind enough to let me bring some groundbreakers and put them in his yard. So Halloween won't be the same but at least it isn't a lost cause. I have few picutres below. So I am still fighting to stay alive. I know I said in the last blog that it was my last but hopfully I can continue.
I had a gentleman from the local paper contact me about my haunt. Of course this year is shot to hell, but maybe next year. The wife had told me that she is hopfully that I will be coming home by next Halloween. It all depends on us and if we can work things out. I hope so. So I guess I will cross my fingers for next Halloween then.
6:41 AM - 10/18/2006Both New Coffins Together
9:10 AM - 10/9/2006Animated Creepy CoffinThis new prop was designed to look like this Creepy Coffin commercial prop. When I saw it online and in the stores, I liked the concept and the look. However the commercial version was static and made of Styrofoam. And it cost $99.Instead of buying that prop I took the money and built this 6-foot animated version. It uses a wiper motor to open and close the hinged front. The outside chains and lock are plastic and foam but inside there are five pieces of real chain swinging and banging. A couple of ACC arms replaced the foam ones on the commercial version. It cost me less than $100 to make and will outlast the commercial version by many years. Here's a picture. A how-to project description will be posted next month. Here's 10-second video clip showing the motion.  9:03 AM - 10/9/2006Corpse in a CoffinI added a corpse to my $25 Toe-Pincher Coffin. Here's a picture. 11:38 AM - 10/8/2006Crazy CamoI ordered some Ultra-lite Crazy Camo Nets from Barre Army Navy Store. I placed my order last Wednesday and it shipped the same day and arrived Saturday. They have a good price on high quality netting that meets anti-fire certifications. Good stuff. 11:28 AM - 10/8/2006$25 Full-Size Toe-Pincher CoffinThis year I built a couple of full-size toe-pincher coffins to compliment the half-size coffin we built back in 2004. I posted a project description on the ScareFX.com site. Here's a picture of the coffin that will be the home for a new corpse I'm currently making. 10:30 AM - 10/4/2006New from Spirit Halloween & Spencer's GiftsPurchased a couple more latex props today. The demon came from Spirit and the spider from Spencer's. The demon will be in the graveyard and the spider will be on the porch. Both are nice sized props. I really liked the details on the demon and black widows are the creepiest spider to me. It will replace the tarantula on the giant web this year. 7:19 PM - 9/21/2006
