Halloween preparations have begun!
by Chris on Sep.23, 2009, under Halloween, Main Page
Well, as always we are a little behind the curve on getting the Halloween preparations started, but at last they have begun! We started putting up lights and what-not last night, and we should have that finished by tomorrow. My goal is to get the lights and smaller, easier stuff up by the first of October. Then I can start putting out the yard decorations and working on the projects I have for this year, namely:
- I need to fix the voice box for the Grave Jumper, since it kept flaking out last year. I may even change how he works a little bit, so he works in better concert with the crypt I would like to make
- Make a crypt. I’m thinking it will go at the end of the yard under the apple tree and will hopefully accommodate a floating ghost in the doorway and a perhaps a new and improved Grave Jumper. I’m thinking maybe he will jump up off a chair or something.
- I want to build a number of poseable PVC skeletons to serve as the base of some props
- Gauntlets and Boots for my costume.
- New and Improved fog chiller for front yard with at least one constant fog machine (possibly requiring the creation of a constant fogger)
That’s probably all I can manage. We’ll see. Hopefully I will have enough time to make some more corpsfied hands and faces for some of this stuff as well. We’ll just have to see how everything pans out. I’ll try to keep the Halloween page updated as things come together.
