Kill Your Darlings

I couldn't think of a way to incorporate the Dead Sentinel into this year's display. I imagined him being a Sentinel that just didn't make the full transformation into the two that are guarding the walkway to the Corn Witch on the porch. He still has two hands, one of them being WAY too human for the witches' tastes. He had a place in the back story, just no place in the yard haunt.

It reminded me of a quote by Stephen King  - "Kill your darlings." Sometimes you just have to let a creation go, no matter how much you dig it, if it just doesn't work.

4 Day Weekend

Four straight days to tie up loose ends for my display. Going to see Paranormal Activity, buy some pumpkins and cornstalks, work on the final few props for the haunt, and watch a bunch of horror movies.
