You all know I was kidding

when I said that I hated Carl at ILHM :)

He one of my favorite bloggers....and now I love him even more!!

Along with my order of Tales from the Crypt seasons 1-6, he sent me a whole stack of other movies!!! What a great guy!

All these, paired with all the props I need build....I am never going to get any sleep!!

I am more than half way through season 2 of Tales and have to say the thing that is completely distracting is all the people that were actually in the show....wow!

I believe I did see the governor of California in one....seriously, that was its own special kind of scary!!

Carl wants to compare notes about the shows so I will maybe write some reviews....in my spare time!!! :D

I crack myself up sometimes!

    We're so watching Tales from the Crypt right now in our spare (ha!) time. We are missing season 2, but have all the rest.

    :) We should giggle over them sometime. They are so seriously good!

    Ack I need to get back on the wagon, I am going to fall behind ya Froggie!! Im only half way through season 3! I cant promise much with many of the extra DVDs, many were extras that I had second copies of somehow (it really mystifies me, I blame the wife). I love Funeral Home and Dementia 13 though, make them top priority ;)

Happy National Donut Day from the Davis Graveyard

Image
Harold the Gravedigger squinted through the pre-dawn mist. A low, guttural groan echoed through the Davis Graveyard, sending a shiver down his spine. Not the usual mournful sighs of the restless dead, no. This was a sound more…sugary. More…sprinkled. Harold gripped his shovel tighter. The rumors had begun a week ago – whispers of a giant, sentient donut rolling through the cemetery at night, leaving a trail of sticky frosting and disembodied sprinkles in its wake. Tonight, he'd finally catch the culprit red-handed (or, should he say, red-glazed?). As the groan grew louder, a monstrous shape lumbered out of the fog. It was a donut, alright, but colossal. Its glazed surface shimmered under the moonlight, studded with malevolent chocolate chips and a single, menacing gumball eye. A chorus of disembodied moans rose from the disturbed graves as the donut flattened several headstones with an indifferent squish. Harold, adrenaline coursing through him, charged. "Hey, sprinkle-brained...

Going to the Chapel

Image
...and we're gonna get..... no life during the summer. :) (We are almost done with the Chapel, in fact, if all goes well, most of it goes up tonight. But I have not been documenting it here.  So I am going to retrospectively show you through the chapel build.) After a few years of planning, we finally decided to sell the abbey and build a chapel. The plan is that this will be easier to put together than the abbey has been.  The abbey took an entire weekend, a scissor lift and an army of people to set up.  This new chapel should go up in a few hours. This is the SketchUp plan. Front view from SketchUP Here is the real chapel that we modeled it after. Ardgowan Chapel in Scotland Yeah, we decided to phone it in this year :D

Match Columns

When we decided to put our display up at Clackamas County 'Scare'grounds this October, we knew if we wanted to take the demons and the metal Cemetery sign from our columns, we would need to make columns to match the real ones on our driveway. We had to use a full wood frame to make this as heavy as possible because the metal frame that goes over the arch it has some weight and we did not want it to topple forward.  There is a lip of wood at the top that is not foam covered, that is where the demons will slide down onto, similar to our current set up. We drew out the grout lines for 4x6 bricks (average size) with a T-square to keep square, then used a Dremel trio on the pink foam.  We used our Demand Durarasp and a wire brush to make the grain. We use PL glue to glue the sheets to the boards and used wood blocks and strips screw into the wood at the grout lines to hold the glue for 24 hours to set. We needed to add an extra layer of bricks (to match our fence) that we just glue...
