Oh, fawk me! I'm so far behind this year it's rediculous. I just haven't been in gear. Most of my free time from Fall until the early part of summer was taken up taking care of family matters while my father was out of commission after his accident…

I've been doing haunts on the small scale since high school. Of course I had no idea what I was doing was "haunting" as we now know it. Regardless it laid the foundation. But college and then 4 years living in an apartment that saw no TOTs put my Halloween stuff on indefinite hold.

In April 2007 we bought our first home and something clicked and I jumped back into Halloween full blast. I had a great time and my neighbors loved it. And so began Lost Lake Cemetery.

From here on out, it'll get bigger and better each year. I'm having a blast doing it.

Help me fill my fake library. I need names!

I need good book names for my fake books. I had a list going but it's running out and I haven't even got enough books for one shelf yet.

Help me out, my fellow haunters. Give me some names. Mostly creepy-ish, but I am also throwing in the odd funny one for variety for those who actually take time to look that closely.

What have you got for me? :)

How Much Time do I have Left??!!

Oh, fawk me! I'm so far behind this year it's rediculous. I just haven't been in gear. Most of my free time from Fall until the early part of summer was taken up taking care of family matters while my father was out of commission after his accident last November. He's doing awesome though and things are finally levelling out. As such I'm beginning to feel the haunt building need in my bones. I'm finally getting moving again.

I've still got big plans for improving the garage but I have a TON of… Continue

Haunt model?

As I mentioned over on the Yahoo list, I had this idea tonight to make a model of my haunt. The idea is to build a small scale, not terribly detailed, model of my haunt that will allow my to experiment with lighting ideas in a 3-D environment that I can move around and look at from different angles.

Lighting has been a big challenge in my haunt because of the setup and partly due to my questionable ability to visualize the lighting without actually seeing it. But trying to tweak it in the night… Continue

Another one down.

And so ends another Halloween season and our third edition of Lost Lake Cemetery. And now the recap. Get comfortable, this may get long.

Overall, we had a good night but it wasn’t without its flaws. During my final sound check Saturday, about two hours before game time, my main receiver/amp powering my beloved GoE Dark Soundscapes music started flashing “PROTECTOR” on the display followed immediately by the dreaded wisp of blue smoke. Oh shit. Thankfully the receiver in Mantown was not needed t… Continue

A different type of circus inspiration

(per request by Pete)

Kari and I went to Barnum and Bailey's circus last night and had a blast. This one part of the show had this bizarre, Cirque de Soliel-feeling jungle theme going that had the clowns all carrying around these UV reactive giant flowers and such and I got a moment of haunt inspiration from this. I leaned over to Kari and asked, "Is it wrong that this just gave me a strange haunt idea?"

She rolled her eyes. LOL!

Anyway, I have no way to ever pull this off or the storage spac… Continue

Thanks so much for the comment on Terra and for noticing the details. Yep, I got carried away with her but found sculpting to be so cool.

Went through your pictures and your stuff looks great!

If you need some kind of a standard cable try this place:

Good prices and quality cables - Shipping might be an issue though, when I order from them it's never taken more that 3 days but they are on the same coast I am

I tried using a torch on my pallet wood this year and it looks great. There's some pics in my photo album of it. Only bad part is it doesn't show up well in the black light like i thought it would.
