The Creep

When you mention to your friend that you bought a new fog machine, and they suggest an inside test run with adjacent photo shoot...  preferably a photo shoot featuring glowing eyes.



Thanks again, Wren!  A fine idea.  And the fog machine works like a dream.

Photo looks great! Back in the very late 90's or very early 2000's we had gotten our first fog machine from QVC. It was a Lite F/X 700 watt model with a very long wired remote. The first Halloween we ran the remote cable through our one front window and found using it that way on Halloween night very awkward, so the following year we purchased a timer controller for it. It had fog duration and interval settings on it. We didn't do any real testing of the timer we just hooked it in our haunt as it was getting dark on Halloween and went about our business lighting the candles in the jack-o-lanterns and handing out candy. Well within a very short period time we basically fogged up a several home stretch of street in our neighborhood. You could even see the fog in the headlights of cars coming up the street. We quickly turned down the duration and increased the interval time on the controller. Oops! We eventually got a wireless RF remote fog machine after the Lite F/X units died (we owned two at one point).

I love that story! As I am definitely guilty of creating a weather system in my neighborhood every Halloween. It runs non-stop for hours with the max settings on that same control switch.

SUPER Gorgeous!!!
Looks like Blake & his boys are coming! It also reminded me of the graveyards in your "Begging for Candy" yrs. But this is a life-size version. Those graveyards (& this) still remind me of the ones in the Universal Monster movies.<333

This is so amazing! Wren is right. And so is G6! A Begging for Candy vibe for sure.
So, you should set up a haunt in your basement for your party. ;)

At first I thought it looked like the night scene (at the power plant) from Iron Giant. But then when I saw a close up of the photo I was like no this is definitely Antonio Bay on April 21.

P.S. and yes we need to see some new Begging for Candy sketches. I'm still waiting for you to put them all in a book. I was envisioning a tattered black leather bound book, with some ancient symbols, insert into the chest of a corpsed skeleton. You know presentation is everything...

Rot said...

I'll see what I can do ; )

Yes! The Begging for Candy atmosphere indeed. And SO beautiful!
