Pumpkin Swamp

Products made from "membranes" resembling squishy skin.

Bonfire

Can't think of a neater thing than spending a cold October night around a bonfire like this.




The Haunted Barn

An amazing display with an overwhelming amount of props [and atmosphere].

Extreme Scarecrowing

Scottsquatch's 2008 haunt: The Murder of Crows.
Rebar-lanced pumpkins, bloody mutilated crows, and a very guilty scarecrow.

Tombstones & Jack O'Lanterns

Featured Chris Ryniak's haunt a while back. Here are some pics of his 2008 display.

And with this, I end my alien/ufo kick.

Unidentified



Communion

Watched the alien abduction film COMMUNION last night. Being a huge fan of FIRE IN THE SKY, I'm surprised it took me this long. I heard a lot about it over the years, and I've seen that strange and creepy book cover illustration by Ted Seth Jacobs so many times.


Very scary film. Christopher Walken was amazing to watch.

It made me think again about an alien-themed haunt that goes for subtle terror, and not the sci-fi, glowing green lights, downed-ufo display (which I happen to dig).

As a kid, I'd probably skip a house that had a bunch of those aliens staring at me with those big awful eyes.

Plant Monster

The art of Chris Park.

The Ghosts Of Christmas Future

Before I die, I'd love to design and build a Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come costume for a stage performance of A CHRISTMAS CAROL. I'd make sure it was at least eight feet tall.
