The most important question! Do you build props, and/or want to learn more about building props? Oh, and if you choose no, we're going to have to delete you.
Yes
How long have you been haunting:
Too long to mention!

Your haunt - Do you prefer:
Scare the sh**out of people
Tell us a little about your haunt (i.e. is it a yard or garage, what is in it, is there a theme, what would you like to build, etc).
Oh, actually the face on the papercrete stone is a styrofoam head cut in half. The other details are wooden things I got from the local art supply store. I don't remember what the actual ratio of paper to crete was, but I believe I used the standard recipe found on most papercrete sites. I think it was something like 60% paper, 20% sand, 20% portland. They were mostly paper but surprisingly they were still fairly heavy.
Here is a pic of one of my papercrete tomb stones. They were OK, but heavy. The following year, I ended up going the styrofoam glued over cardboard boxes route.
I saw your plexi mirror prop about a year ago and changed the the idea a bit to fit with our carnival theme. We built 3 plexi fun house mirrors and tinted w/ mirror tint. We located three colored lights in the front of the mirrors and wired them onto one side of a two way switch. Then we located three strobes behind the mirrors and wired them to the other side of the switch. We put skeletons and the person who would throw the switch behind the mirrors for the scare. It worked awesome and I wanted to thank you for the idea. We put a video up on Garage of evil (Haunted carnival) if you want to see the effect.
Thanks for the help, I ordered the eyes. Now I need to find a tiny motion sensor to replace one I broke in my "gemmy bird". Any suggestions were I might look?

Here are my styrofoam ones as a comparison. I just think they look better than the papercrete.

Thanks for noticing the walls and Jack Skellington. I can't wait to get more pics of the walls as they progress.
