I rebuilt my Reaper from last year and made a How 2 to help other avoid the mistakes I made from 2009’s build.

I was just drooling over some of Brent’s masterpieces I thought you could use some inspiration for the 2010 build season.

Here is another denizen of the village Mire.

What up boils and ghouls! Just a head’s up on a flick we didn’t get to discuss on the last show.

Splice is a sci-fi/horror mashup about a couple of scientists who do what scientists usually do in sci-fi/horror flicks – mess with nature, play God, unforseen results, followed by the running and screaming and murder……you know the drill.  Here’s a plot summary:

Elsa and Clive, two young rebellious scientists, defy legal and ethical boundaries and forge ahead with a dangerous experiment: splicing together human and animal DNA to create a new organism. Named “Dren”, the creature rapidly develops from a deformed female infant into a beautiful but dangerous winged human-chimera, who forges a bond with both of her creators – only to have that bond turn deadly.

The film has some positive buzz, so it may well be worth checking out. 

I’m not sure I am able to see it this weekend, so if any of you catch it, do me a solid and let us know what you think. Stay scary!

HiRez00 just hit me with some haunt knowledge. Check out this product:

StyroSpray 1000 Hard coating for EPS foam.

StyroSpray® 1000 is a simple to apply hard coating for various types of rigid foam. It is a premix coating, which can be hand brushed, rolled or spray applied with ordinary painting equipment. It provides a strong, lightweight uniformly smooth appearance, which can be coated with any type of solvent or water base paint. StyroSpray crates a hard plastic shell over EPS foam for fabrication of signs, decorative themeing and concrete molds. It can also be used to laminate fabrics to EPS foam structures or to harden cloth shapes. It seals and waterproofs hot wire cut or carved EPS foam shapes for outdoor installations. StyroSpray 1000 can be applied with the same type of equipment used to apply ordinary water base house paints. This product only cures when exposed to moisture in the environment, it becomes dry to the touch in 1 hour after spraying. See the StyroSpray 1000 technical data/instruction manual on this page for more complete application information.

No, not my IQ. Meet Zero, my new Hauntcast Mascot, because Skully is pissing me off.

What up all you cool ghouls! If you want to check out some of the hijinx and fun from the NHC be sure to check out Shelley’s and my blog. 

There are tons of pics of all the action, including your dashing G/Host Chris Baker, the Hauntcast booth, Shelley, me and even Skully.

Thanks again to the organizers and to all the listeners who came by to say hey.  A good time was had by all!
