Test Shot

I'm not big on behind-the-scenes shots, but I feel like these ladies still retain all of their dignity in the photo below.  And I dig that it shows off her pot belly.  I imagined they ate a lot of swamp creatures, like bullfrogs and snapping turtles.

Basement Witches

Replaced a standard bulb with an orange one.  Sure, I can't see what I'm painting, but it sure looks cool.

Basement Witches

Moved these Ladies into the basement.
Experimented with some lighting.

The Day After Halloween

Woke to find restored cable, phone, and television.  Finally catching up on everything.  Been a crazy weird week. 

Started decorating yesterday morning and then some of the neighbors let me know our township rescheduled Halloween for Friday night.  So I didn't put out any of the props, just the witch jars and the cornstalks, and I had planned to light the softening jackos. 

I have to admit to being pretty bummed about Halloween being postponed.  Something just seemed off about that decision.  So I watched old dvr'd episodes of Paranormal Witness and horror movies from the collection.   

A door bell ringing.  

Kids were trick-or-treating.  It was Halloween sunset, and they were coming.  You know those dreams a Haunter has, where you're running around trying to set up your display while kids are coming for candy?  Well, that was me.  Lighting pumpkins and witch jars, and trying to set up the fogger and position the Witches.  I tripped over a flower pot in the bushes and fell on my face...  It was hectic, but not stressful.  It was fun.  And funny.

Halloween came.  Despite the township.  Despite the stupid hurricane.

Hope everyone had a Wonderful and Happy and Safe Halloween.

Halloween 2012: Skull Witches

My grandmother would tell us the story,
On each Halloween.  
About something deep in those woods.
She called them Deathlies and Deadlies.  
And she said they guarded 'the Witches,'  
Witches with skull faces...

Witch Torches

I built a torch prototype for my Skull Witches.  I'll have three of these placed safely near the display.  I'm thinking most of the detail will be lost in the shadows, so I kept the coloring pretty light.

The Garage

Hung some props in the garage this weekend.
They look pretty happy there.

Halloween 2010: Creepshow

And now for something completely different.

Click the image for this year's video slide show of my Haunt which took place over the last couple of months.

Below the image you'll see the button which will take you to my 2010 gallery page. My recommendation is to view the video first and then to view the pics.

Cauldron Spotlight

Did a test with a light hidden within my iron cauldron. This would look really neat outside with the cauldron slightly buried under leaves.
