Halloween 2017 Post 1

This was the view from the porch as the kids were leaving.

This creepy little alter was on the porch.

Wide shot of the yard just before dark.

In the garden there are many strange plants.

In retrospect, my Banshee needed more lighting.

Kazia Mason was in charge of the fogger. It looked great, when we could see at all. It was a lot of fog. lol

Yard Haunt Vid

My girlfriend put this video together of my yard haunt last year. I won't be able to have one this year as i will be in Salem with all them witches this year. It will be the first time I have not at least decorated the yard (even if I wasn't home) in over fifteen years.

Medusa Wreath

This is my wreath for Halloween. I have had this idea for a while now and with everyone posting this silly snake wreath and sending it to me I felt it was time to step things up and show em how it is done. I love Medus as I am sure I have said here before and now she is front and center for the big day! Happy Haunting fiends!

Halloween 2005

Long ago I took photos of my early yard haunts with film. These are my favorite photos to come from that time. I have many more to be shared another time.

 

 

 

 

 

Award Winning Pumpkin Fiends

My Pumpkin Fiends have won second place in The Holiday Store's prop contest. I am very proud of them.

 

 

Candy Beast

I am always looking for new things to turn into monsters. This is just one more horror to add to my collection.

More Spider Stuff

Just pics on this one folks. 

Spider Demon

I have been playing with ideas for a spider monster for my haunt this year, I want him to be smaller than a man, but far bigger than a normal spider. I have a few design ideas in mind and haven't picked one yet. Not sure I can get done in time anyway. Busy, busy, busy.

Agatha

        

Agatha was my first full size build, the original was rather simple but nice enough for a thief to take her. So I built Agatha 2.0 I had grown a lot as an artist and her design became far more sophisticated. I think she turned out wonderfully.                

She is wearing my aunts wedding dress. 

Her jaw moves and her eyes light up, when I change her batteries. (almost never) 

Agatha loves a walk in the graveyard. 

When I was in school she posed for my drawing class.

Best pals.
