Q&A

Favorite Horror TV Show

    I have always been a fan of the genre television shows. From Tales from the Crypt, Masters of Horror, Night Gallery, and so on. But choosing a favorite in this one is pretty easy. The fact that I have always been an Evil Dead and Raimi brothers fan, I will always go for them bringing back Ashley J. Williams. So of course, Ash vs Evil Dead is always going to be number one.

Movie Night Title

Cabin in the Woods


    This is one of my top films just because I adore Joss Whedon and well who doesn't love a bit of comedy, Evil Dead references, and a pinch of Lovecraft. This movie is one of the inspiration fuel for upcoming haunt plans. So I may never run outta ideas in the future.

    So what is in store for the haunt this year. Well, the final purchase for the pumpkin display has been made. Pumpkins have been purchased. The spider webbing (hopefully) will be going up today as long as it behaves. 


    There's only been one setback. Dayton has decided that it's going to be too cold outside for him to work his spot in the Evil Dead section. Honestly, I think it's just because he liked his queue spot better. He is currently watching out the picture window. He seems to like being able to watch people walking or driving by. So in the spirit of the holidays, and the fact that I still haven't bought him any pants, he may just stay in the window this year. I will be auditioning more helpers for next year as I have a few ideas percolating in my brain. I will be working on crafting some new wings for my dragon too. He's been a bit passive aggressive about his wings wearing down over the years. 

    So that's the current plans and as always I will be posting behind the scene stuff over on Insta, so, you know what to do.

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...
