Grim Grinning Ghosts Projection over Front Door

Here is a pic:

Here is short video... no sound effectively... heck it was Midnight!

Dave Lowe Inspired Spooky Sign Post

My...my...I do have a blog, I never said I would be good at it... its been far too long.... but this year will post some new prop builds.... and here we are!

Dave Lowe simply rocks and if you have never seen his Blog you are truly missing out.

Dave some time back posted a prop of a haunted sign post and with his inspiration I made a sign post too.

I added some dollar tree crows that I hacked led eyes in and also found a lantern at Target and put a flicker light in with a FS2 fluorescent light starter...it yields a great flicker effect with a night light bulb.   The signs I got off Amazon I just didn't have time to make them but they look nice!

I think it came out great! THANKS DAVE

Scary Snowman

I guess I am always the last to find out stuff on the internets, but here was a Youtube video of a Scary Snowman... very funny!

Connecticut

I have family in Connecticut, its a fine and beautiful state, we are not too far from Newtown.

Tragedy has befallen the most innocent.  Babies have suffered the onslaught of evil. We are heartbroken and asking the questions on why and how this can occur, apparently evil knows many ways.  So God gave us free will, the devil uses this to his advantage and uses any manner and method and thinks nothing of sacrificing innocent children if he can get just one person to deny their faith.  It is the only way I have of being able to explain why things like this happen.

The wonderful Dave Lowe on his blog has created a very moving sentiment....

God bless the children of the world and the families who have all suffered loss at the hands of violence

Healthy Eating? Mmmm Maybe Not

Ok Pensive Pumpkin has a decadent Guiness Cake recipe at her blog courtesy of Nigella Lawson ... Pensive also had a dream sequence of her being Nigella and paying a visit to her dreamdate Alan Rickman.

So got me thinking a few things....  

First, Guiness cake must be awesome.   

Second, Nigella is a very lovely lady so I googled her.

She is 51 and is a tv cook personality that eats all sort of decadent things and consumes meat, butter, chocalate and desserts.  And she looks awesome:

Then there is this woman who is also 51 yrs old.  She is TV health guru Gillian McKeith, advocating a holistic approach to nutrition and health, and promoting exercise, a vegetarian diet which is high in organic fruits and vegetables. She recommends detox diets, colonic irrigation, and supplements.

I think I know which way I am going ...

Funny Cat Pictures...

I dont know where Queen Of Darkness gets these from but I like cats too so am reposting here:

And the only spooky pic:

Its possible that some folks not familiar may not know who Lestat is.... very famous vampire from Anne Rice series of Interview with a Vampire

Fall Colors

We just got back from New England, visiting family in the north west region of Connecticut.  Absolutely beautiful.

I cannot do any Halloween this year due to work but I can post some fall like pics (taken during a very wet and rainy day) but they came out nice despite the weather.  If it wasnt such a rainy day the colors would be a lot more vibrant. These are pictures from my cousin and uncle's house and on their farm and street they are on.
