PVC Candles Phase II

I really liked how the PVC candles I made two years ago turned out.  So I'm making more this year.  These will be 'antiqued' with some black paint and placed outside in the graveyard.  Making these is super easy, PVC + Hot Glue + Cardboard + LED Tea Light.

Giant Spider Project

New for this year is a giant spider.  When complete it will measure ~6-7 feet and will be hoisted up to a web that is somewhere around 14 feet.   It will be one of those fat and nasty brown furry spiders that freak everyone out.

Website tweaking

Been messing around with the format of the website, you know, installing new cobwebs and stuff.

Halloween is right around the corner...

Only 69 days ~10 weeks until Halloween!

And here are the photos from the big night.   The fog was awesome this year due to the rain earlier in the day.

Success!

After some seriously dodgy weather all day, everything came together at the last moment. Setting up in the rain was obnoxious. We ran out of candy, so the kids that come out tomorrow are all getting tricks instead of treats. Apparently 15 pounds of candy isn't enough. Took some photos and video that will be put up on Monday or Tuesday.

Some progress finally..

With my work schedule sapping all my free time, I'm just now getting some time to work on some things.  First, interesting factoid -- Did you know mice like eating paper mache heads?  I know this because Walter and Henry (the Zombies) got their heads eaten in the off-season.  So I set out to make some new heads.  I found some black fake pumpkins that fit the bill nicely, they are foam/plastic so there shouldn't be any issues with rodents.  I also took some of the ping-pong eyes I made last year to make these guys look a bit creepier.
