FCG's

I attended a Make-N-Take class with my local GoE (Garage of Evil) group.

This class was about building an FCG (Flying Crank Ghost). This was at Evil Andrew's house. He did an excellent instruction. We built the first half of the flying ghost.

We put the styrofoam head, arms, eyes, and drape all together.

The hardest part of all of it was trying to get something through the styrofoam head for the eyes to be attached. I ended up using a pencil and pushing with a little notebook so that I wouldn't kill the palm of my hand. This was so that I could put the eyes and their wires through the head and coming out the front. They had to go through from the back, through the whole head and sticking out the front of the face.

It was wonderful seeing everyone again. Last time we were together was for the Nightmare before Christmas party.

Anyway, crank ghost.... After the eyes were in, we put the hands and arms all together. After that, the drape went on. It goes actually pretty fast but with all the visiting going on, it takes a bit longer.

Man, I love visiting with all the other haunters. How awesome is that to be able to build Halloween props in January AND with a bunch of other haunters?

Priceless!!

Halloween cookies

I've been thinking about Halloween cookies. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to sell cookies at the haunt in the concession/ticket booth. Would visitors eat them? Would they sell better if they were in little coffins or would baggies be fine. Just random thoughts.

New and Improved

Hello!!! I'm going to try this new and improved look and feel for this blog. I'm also going to try to keep up on the posting on this blog too. I've neglected it for so long. We'll see what happens.
