Q&A

Favorite Horror/Comedy Movie

    While the scary movies are always great, it's also good to laugh once in while. There's so many horror themed movies that provide a ton of laughs at the same time. So, which one is my favorite. For me it's, Tucker and Dale vs Evil. I am a fan of both Tyler Labine and Alan Tudyk. Being a Browncoat (Firefly fan) makes this so much better too because there is still a tiny bit of Wash poking through in Alan Tudyk's character. 

Movie Night Title

Tucker and Dale vs Evil

    Since we were already talking about Tucker and Dale, why don't we keep this train rolling. It's a perfect choice for tonight because, well, why not. It's funny and just the perfect blend of genres. 

    Given that I brought up the fact of being a Browncoat, I even brought that element into the haunt. One of my tombstones (which is still going through completion) is based on a well know quote from the show, Firefly. 


    Once I work out the logistics to produce the effect I want, there will be a blood pattern on the corner of the base. As if someone tripped and fell. This will probably be updated for next year though. As soon as I get my new miter saw, it will be a lot easier to build more in depth and detailed tombstones. So let's hope my letter to Santa arrives safely this year. 

    As always, stay up to date on the latest going ons in the haunt world and check out my Insta for all the pics and BTS fun.

The Mascot

 Meet Bob      I never planned to end up with a mascot, it just kinda happened. One of the first things I bought was a skeleton. His name was Bob, well, he just looks like a Bob. *Say 'hi' Bob*     He hangs by a noose at the entry to the front door. He has stayed in this exact location every year since the beginning in 2014.      So, a little about Bob. He's five feet tall and prefers to be called 'skin and bones' even though he does not have skin... Anyhoo, he doesn't ask for much and he always does his job. A couple of years into his employment, he finally had a request. He wanted a girlfriend. We'll get more into her later. The Promotion     Because Bob was such a good employee, I decided that for this new upgraded season, he deserved a promotion. Just not a raise. I mean, come on, what would he spend it on. Not like he's rocking any clothes. Bob is a bit of a nudist it would seem. Maybe a raise upward if the sisal rope that serv...

Day 14

  Officially two whole weeks done! Just a tad over two weeks to go. Q&A Slasher or Psychological     There are numerous genres within the horror category but it usually comes down to these topics. They both have their perks. But between them, I usually lean towards the psychological horror. Don't get me wrong, I do love the iconic slasher movies. However, I like not being able to predict what happens. Having a twist ending or red herrings throughout the films draws me into the story a lot more. Being a writer, and a very analytical mind, I usually end up working out the mystery fairly well. So for those that can keep me guessing, they tend to rank higher for me. Movie Night Title Waxwork II: Lost in Time          This is another guilty pleasure. Apparently, I have a theme of Bruce Campbell and severed hands. It still remains one of my favorite movies just because it's not at all serious in nature, it has a superb cast, and there's an Edgar All...

  We are under a week Almost there Q&A Carve Pumpkins or Make Pumpkin Pie     This is actually an easy question for me. I am not a big fan of pumpkin flavor so when I bake, it's usually cookies and cupcakes. However, I love carving pumpkins every year. The number that I will carve will depend on how I feel that particular year and how much other things I have to do. I try to carve as close to Halloween as I can, just to preserve the freshness of the pumpkins. I don't want them to wilt too much before the big night. This year I am carving two pumpkins. Mainly because I have been doing so much other work and building props. I have also not even begun to look for ideas as to what I will carving.  Movie Night Title Dreamcatcher      This pick is pretty much for the fact that I love Stephen King. I had started reading the book but got distracted with life and work. When I heard they were optioning the novel for the big screen, I had to finish it. So I b...
