Will Your Haunt Have A Haunted Tombstone?



Halloween is coming up fast, but it's not too late to take your graveyard to the next level this year with my easy to set up Haunted Tombstone effects.  Learn more about it and get your own $30 Haunted Tombstone right here!  They're available individually or as a set.  Watch below!



Here's what other Haunters are saying about my original Haunted Tombstone projection effects...

Dave Lowe: "I think you've just created a project that should be enshrined in the Hall of Great Halloween DIYs. Scratch 'Great,' make that the Hall of HISTORIC Halloween DIYs."

Pumpkinrot: "Some really fantastic projection work here. Such a cool idea."

Terra: "WOW! no, make that TRIPLE WOW!  Seriously - that will be the prop of the season. So inventive, creepy and stunning. Phenomenal."

Stolloween: "Simply brilliant."

Mike C.: "Beautiful work, and I'm proud and happy to own it for my own little haunt!"

In Irons: "This is the most awesome effect and very reasonable in price! Some of the other prop companies should take notice!"

DaveintheGrave: "I think you just showed us the prop of the year!  I like this idea even better than Hallowindow."

TK421: "FANTASTIC!! PURE GENIUS!! BRILLIANT!!  Definitely something I want to try."

CLC1905: "I just bought and downloaded it and watched the high def and regular versions and they are both incredible!! This is going to be the pièce de résistance for our haunt this year!"

Jdubya: "The bar is raised another notch!"

Reworking the Witch

Well, I guess I spoke too soon.  I had an excellent critique from my sculpting mentor, and I'm now heavily reworking the witch sculpture to try to pull better anatomy and more realistic detail out of her.  This is the very beginning of that.  I'm just finding the shapes at this point.

W.I.P. (Witch in Progress)

After sitting on my workbench for two years, I think this witch sculpture is about as finished as it'll get.

I believe this is my fourth crack at sculpting a witch.  The plan is to mold her and cast her in foam latex to be a skin for 3-axis skulls, but I may do some latex display masks, if there's interest.  Eventually, I have some bigger plans for this one, though.

I'm rather pleased with the detail on this, so enlarge the pictures for a closer look.

A little taste of what she'll be like with hair and a hat.

Here it is up against the concept sketch done in 2009.  She's sculpted with a closed mouth to allow for better talking.
