<br />
So I just posted about over analyzing your art and in that post I spoke about a project where I did just that, my Madame Leota Sculpt which is going to be used for my Madame Leota Tombstone prop this year.<br />
<br />
I wanted to post some pictures of the beginning stages of the sculpt so you can see the process. You will see where I started then kind of peeled back and re-started and where I am with it right now. The 2 biggest issue I was having with it were the eyes and the hair. I eventually went out and bought some wooden balls from a craft store to place in as the eyes and work around and I have found it has helped tremendously however, the eyes are still slightly too close to one another. I pretty much left it as is and continued to push forward with the sculpt.<br />
<br />
The hair was my other issue. I keep looking at it from all angles and am trying to get it to match the reference picture the best I can. I think I left it in a place where I am starting to like it but I still have some ways too go with it.<br />
<br />
My set up is not the best but I am learning a lot with this one as I move along. I was hoping it was going to make it into the 2015 display but I started it a bit too late. The goal is to finish the sculpt and mold and cast this in a lightweight resin which I can mount on the tombstone I make for her.<br />
<br />
Leota's stone has moving eyes at the actual attraction but my prop will just be a static prop. I may fool with the idea of creating a projection of moving eyes because it's within my comfort zone to give that a try but with many other prop build on my list for 2016 it may have to wait.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions with what you see please let me know and I will do my best to answer them. I am no prop and simply at a novice level but I am happy to share what I have done to this point and what has worked and not worked thus far.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy these initial pictures and as I progress up to the final look I will continue to share all the progress.<br />
<br />
Back to work!<br />

<br />
Today I wanted to write a little about over analyzing your art because I find it to be something I have done way too much of in the past and it is often the reason I find myself with a million projects that I start and stop and often times never finish.<br />
<br />
I supposed I can put this either in terms of being and artist in general or in terms of being a home haunter because I think both will slightly vary but for today I will focus on the home haunter aspect of over analyzing what we create.<br />
<br />
Most every home haunter starts by purchasing props to create a scene with at their home for Halloween and each year we add a little more then a little more until we realize we have been bitten by the Halloween bug and no store bought prop can help us materialize our every creative idea so we force ourselves to being making the props we want or need to create the scenes we had envisioned in our sick and twisted minds!<br />
<br />
It is important to remember at the very point we set out to create our very own hand made props that everyones level of artistic abilities is different and you cannot let any one image or video you see of a prop similar to the one you want to build be the reason you slow up progress on yours. It is always a learning process and that process needs to develop over time.<br />
<br />
What tends to happen to me is that I see someone building the exact same prop I would like to create and I begin to analyze their prop vs mine. Shortly after I begin to ask myself various questions such as "why does my detail not look the same?" or "does my paint job make it look realistic enough?" I begin over analyzing everything I am doing and begin questioning everything I had planned too do. Will it be good enough? Is it good enough? These are the questions that begin to form in my head. I become so consumed with it needing to be exactly like the reference I saw that I do not even bother to work on it any more.<br />
<br />
I recently began working on a Madame Leota Tombstone prop in which I am sculpting her face while looking at reference pictures of the original. Shortly into the process I got the feeling that it wasn't looking right and I needed to step back and rethink what I was doing. I ended up scraping the sculpt and starting over. As I got into the sculpt the second time around now taking a new direction with it I got the slight feeling the same thing was happening again! I didn't think what I was doing was terrible and liked plenty about it but compared to the picture reference it was not spot on. Here is where I began to over analyze what I was doing. Now I could very well scrap the work which I have done which would amount to maybe 2 hours of my time or I can push ahead and continue and finally I decided to do just that and continue on.<br />
<br />
It's always hard to catch perfection. I am not sure you ever can really but you can always continue to better yourself and your skill set and learn from the experience in which case I am learning with this sculpt. My goal now is always to push through and finish and enjoy the fact that I can mark the project as being done and off my list and ready myself for the next. I can always sculpt another Madame Leota in the future and will take this one as my learning project but if I don't finish it I will have nothing to show for the time I did invest and I can never look back and say "wow look how far I have come!"<br />
<br />
The moral of the story really is not to over analyze your art. Don't sweat the small stuff and let it hold you back from finishing what you had originally set out to do because after you finish each project you will get progressively better at your craft. You will learn new skill sets, tips and tricks to make you a better artist but that is only by doing and not by staring at a computer screen analyzing what other people are doing.<br />
<br />
So go out and get to work on whatever new project or build you have in mind and don't let anything hold you back from creating your next work of art!<br />

<br />
For some time now I have wanted to give sand casting a try. I first learned about sand casting in the book series created by Lynne and Shawn Mitchell <a href="http://howtohauntyourhouse.com/">How To Haunt Your House</a> . I had received the first issue of the series as a Christmas gift some years ago and while flipping through it I came across the sand casting tutorial and thought how fun and useful it looked to be especially for casting smaller items.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to today and I finally decided to give sand casting a try and I am glad I did! The catalyst for me to finally try sand casting was when my daughter received Kinetic Sand as a gift. The Kinetic Sand doesn't require water, holds it shape very well, and does not stick to anything. After playing around with it for a bit the light bulb went off in my head to give it a try and use it for sand casting.<br />
<br />
I won't go into great detail about the process because you can easily look it up on line or check it out in the Mitchell's book but the gist of it is to find an object you want to make a casting of, press it into the sand to get the impression of the piece and fill the impression that has been left with hot glue. Once the glue dries you are left with a casting of the piece.<br />
<br />
I choose a small baseball sized skull I had lying around and pressed it's face into the sand. It took about 3-4 glue sticks to fill up the void left behind and ensure that the glue filled it up fully and evenly with the sand leaving the back of the casting nice and flat. I would say about 2-3 minutes later the glue had cooled and I pulled the casting. Originally I had thought that maybe the kinetic sand which normally does not stick to anything would not stick to my casting but there was some slight clean up. I simply used a wood skewer to clean out the sand as best I could then ran the piece under water to get any sand that was left over off. It took a little time but the results (in my opinion) were well worth it.<br />
<br />
I made two sized skulls with this method and while neither were perfect representations of the original they were good enough for my intended uses on tombstones and my future mausoleum build. I gave them a quick paint job each by using a base of acrylic black paint then a dry brush of white over top for a stone look.<br />
<br />
Overall I would say sand casting is an enjoyable and easy process best served for small items that you may need a few multiples of. Larger castings aren't out of the question but you would have to test melting large portions of glue sticks in a pot for some fast pours because the time it would take to fill up a sand casted mold from a hot glue gun would take more time than this haunter thinks it would be worth.<br />
<br />
I would be interested to see what other casting materials could be used using this technique like resins perhaps or various types or rubber or silicone but for the time being hot glue works for me. I would definitely suggest giving this a try. Even if you don't have anything you really need to cast up at the moment it is still a fun craft to do.<br />
<br />
If you happen to give this s try or try other methods please let me know in the comments below and attach some pictures for us to see. Have fun with it and now on to the next creepy creation for the 2016 Haunt Season!<br />

<br />
Today's post is all about my Master Gracey Tombstone Build for the 2015 Haunt.<br />
<br />
Now if I have not stated it before I will once more...I love the Disney Haunted Mansion. It has to be the main reason I took a liking to the weird and macabre and a definite reason I love haunting.<br />
<br />
Every year that I have done a yard display I have for the most part used the same foam carved tombstones which I created in one night back in 2012. I remember having just moved into our new home and being so excited about creating my first ever scene on my front lawn but all of my older stones were pretty worn out so I bought foam and quickly dremeled various epitaps into each stone, added some rough cracks here and there then furiously painted each. It was so late at night at one point and I had my garage door open while working on adding some highlights with some spray paint that cops had stopped in front of my house wondering what I was doing! It felt funny telling them that I was making prop tombstones for Halloween but they ok have fun shook their heads and drove along.<br />
<br />
I made 13 tombstones that year and remember chasing half of them down the block when the winds and rains of super storm sandy came bustling through. At that very moment I vowed that one day I would make durable tombstones that would not only look real but would stand both the tests of time and the crazy weather that we can experience in NJ from time to time.<br />
<br />
The years following 2012 I scaled back on using tombstones to go with a more natural look of scarecrows and cornstalks but this year I knew I wanted to bring back the cemetery and I had to begin the task of create a more sturdy stone so I began thinking about how I was going to go about it.<br />
<br />
I wasn't really trying to re-invent the wheel since there are plenty of techniques that can be found on line about tombstone prop making but I wanted to think out the process for myself and find a solution that worked best for me. In the end I was going to have to store these things and I didn't ever want to have to make them again so finding the right solution was important to me.<br />
<br />
At first I thought about a hollow construction made out of plywood which would make them slightly lightweight but heavy enough that they would not fly away on me. Where I struggled with this design idea was how I would fill in the gaps on the top and sides of the stone. If I made any unique curves I just didn't know how would I close them up. I toyed with the idea of running wood laminate around the outside as well as the possibility of using spray foam and that's where things started to click for me. I would trace my tombstone shape onto wood and cut out the same shape for the front and back then use insulation foam like I normally would to make a tombstone and sandwich it in between both pieces of wood until I got the desired depth I wanted for the stone.<br />
<br />
I used the front of the tombstone which I cut from wood as a template to trace and cut out the pieces of foam and began layering or I should say stacking my tombstone sandwich up until I reached my desired depth. Since the foam I was using was older left over foam it didn't cut all that well so the edges were pretty jagged after being cut but that was ok, I was going to use a rasp and sander to smooth the edges out once everything was glued together.<br />
<br />
I used a combination of gorilla glue and great stuff foam in between each layer, stacked it all together then set some patio stones on top and left it to dry. Once I was convinced the stone was completely dry I began to sand down the edgesso that everything was nice and even but there were still gaps and cracks and I wanted the sides and top of the stone to be nice, smooth and seamless so next up on my mind was how was I going to fill everything in and smooth it out?!!<br />
<br />
When contemplating what I should used to fill in the gaps and cracks on my tombstones edges I thought of multiple ways I could do it from Monster Mud to bondo but ultimately I used what I already had on hand and that was wood filler. I knew it would dry hard so I just said the hell with it and figured this was all trial and error anyways but it worked out quite nice! I spread the wood filer on with a spatula and in areas that weren't as easy I simply used my hands. I would say it took me 2-3 passes with the wood filer before I looked at all the edges and they seemed fully filled in. Once dry I proceeded to sand the sides until smooth. I choose to not fill in the underside of the tombstone with the wood filer and instead seal it off with plywood as well in order for the stone to be able to sit flush on the above ground tomb that I would later build.<br />
<br />
The next step (which I should have explained more towards the beginning of the write up) was the epitaph. I was able to find a good copy of the Master Gracey Epitaph online and took that into a computer program I had Illustrator and sized it accordingly. Once sized I printed it out then used the printout to trace and transfer the letters onto the wood. Originally I was going to use a projector to project the image of the tombstone and trace the letters like that but found it to be a bit difficult so I scrapped that idea fairly quickly.<br />
<br />
After all the letters were in place I used a dremel and routers bit to router out the letters into the wood. Now I had never really used a router before so it wasn't so easy getting all the letters to be perfect especially in wood so while I wouldn't rule out doing this method again I think I would instead glue a piece of 1" foam to the front wood piece and dremel the words into it just for the ease of doing it because etching out the letters in the wood really took some time and patience but I got through it. Some of the letters didn't come out great but you could read the entire wording and after paint and putting it outside at night I felt the few flaws it did have wouldn't really be noticeable to the average Joe.<br />
<br />
The painting process was the easiest part. Time was dwindling down so I knew I wasn't going to be able to match up the paint scheme of the original so I choose to give the stone a black base then bought my ever so favorite stone spray paint which gave it that nice stone texture. To age it up a bit I sprayed on some watered down black paint and dry brushed a few areas with some green and browns. I went back into the type and painted in each letter with black just so they would stand out and poof, just like that the stone was complete!<br />
<br />
The next and final task was the above ground tomb the stone would sit on. Now the Disney version is actually quite nice. It is a brick base, the top edges are surrounded by a small black metal gate with golden toppers at each of the four corners and the center is real grass. The stone actually sits at the back end of the tomb in the grass.<br />
<br />
How the heck was I going to pull all of this off I wondered?!! My time was very short and to reiterate I was also short on money so I searched around my garage and found left over faux brick siding I had used years ago on the first set of columns I ever built for Grimlock Manor. I also had plenty of spare lumber, green outdoor carpeting and rope so I decided these were the items I would use and all I had to do was find some finials online.<br />
<br />
I constructed a frame for the tomb out of some 2 x 2s I had then covered the the front and both sides with the brick paneling but left the back open which I will get to why I did that shortly. I then covered the top of the tomb with a flat piece of plywood. Around the edges I drilled hole to fit in PVC piping which would be my fencing. I added my outdoor grass carpet to the top of the plywood, painted the PVC piping black, added my finials to the top of each PVC pipe then ran rope around each piece of PVC. I had wanted black chain but again just went with what was handy.<br />
<br />
Now that most of the tomb was set I drilled 2 holes in the base of the tombstone and to matching holes on the base of the tomb. I inserted PVC into each hole of the tombstone then slide the tombstone into the two holes I drilled in the base of the tomb. This allowed the tombstone to sit very sturdy on the tomb and not be blown over by any strong winds. The PVC was also long enough to slightly stick into the ground under the tomb and having the backside open I was able to adjust everything so it fit nice and snug.<br />
<br />
Once it was all in place I attached mini spot lights to the front of the tomb to help highlight the Master Gracey Stone at night. I also used the underside of the tomb to house my sound system and speakers that played my Halloween Atmosphere FX during Halloween night.<br />
<br />
Overall it was a long build with many things to learn during the process but it was also a fun build and a prop I was fairly fond with in the end. The great thing is I can still improve upon this prop this year and make it look closer to the original by adding the various pieces I couldn't this year due to time and money but even if I don't it is still a great central piece to my forthcoming Disney Haunted Mansion themed cemetery and one I am finally happy to have built.<br />
<br />
Below are all the progress pictures I took during the process. I hope these will help you see the process a little more clearly than maybe I explained it here and of course if you have any comments you may please feel free to leave them in the comments section of this post.<br />
<br />
Next up is my build process for my Madame Leota tombstone. This is one I have started but is still unfinished so hopefully I can take you all along for the ride to it's completion.<br />

<br />
Happy almost 2016! I felt a post seemed appropriate since we are knocking on the door of a new year. For me this is just a way to wipe the slate clean, reminisce about this year and all I have done with the haunt and look ahead at what I would like to do with it. I say what I would like to do simply because I would love to do so much and always have a million plans but it never means that any will actually get done so I feel it is best to set the bar low and see how far I can go!<br />
<br />
2015 was a pretty good year in terms of Grimlock Manor. While I didn't necessarily do anything ground breaking my haunt came together fairly well. Originally at the end of last year I had decided that I wanted to do a Sleepy Hollow theme this year and piggy back off the Sleepy Hollow play I had worked on at the Old Franklin School House in Metuchen NJ. I had a nice burlap painted sign from the play and many scarecrows to help fill out my display but I never truly built any other props that fit the theme, instead my rekindle love for the Disney Haunted Mansion took over after a trip to Disney World Orlando and I began a few late prop builds for that theme this year.<br />
<br />
The prop I started and completed thought I wasn't 100% happy with it was my Master Gracey Tombstone. I set out to create a much more durable tombstone and was happy with it's outcome but the stone itself lays atop an above ground tomb which I did not fully complete to look like the one that can be found on the que line of the ride. I pretty much pinched my pennies and built what I could with what I had lying around and I was fine with that but improvements can still be made.<br />
<br />
After I finished my Master Gracey Stone I started work on my Madame Leota tombstone. This is where time fell short and I did not complete it. The goal with Madame Leota was to sculpt the head which I did start then eventually cast it in a light weight resin and make the tombstone the same way as Master Gracey. As I said not everything was completed so it currently sits in my shop awaiting my return to work on it.<br />
<br />
Many other ideas like a mausoleum, new graveyard characters, pillars and a fence never fully materialized so my goal now is to focus on making the Haunted Mansion come to life in 2016! As I stated above the bar will be set low and I will focus on a prop at a time and simply see where it takes me by the time October comes around but I do feel that I can up the anty this year.<br />
<br />
I told a friend recently that I have never fully stood back and looked at any of my displays or walkthroughs with complete satisfaction and honestly I never feel that will ever be a reality but I am sure going to strive to bring a little sense of wonderment to everyone who visits my house this year.<br />
<br />
I've been haunting since 2008 now and have seen so many great things done in the haunt world and while I have had many accomplishments I am proud of Grimlock Manor being one of them, I am still looking forward to what more I can do and prove to myself and I think that is the key, being happy with what you do.<br />
<br />
I have much more to explore in the world of prop build and many more triumphs and failures still ahead of me but it is sure to be a fun ride. My resolution as it goes for haunting is to truly not cut corners and focus hard on making each prop I work on the best I can make it. I hope to blog and vlog my journey to Halloween 2016 so it's time to get cracking now and see what I am truly capable of as an artist and haunter!<br />
<br />
Here's to 2016 my fellow haunters! Lets all get to work!<br />

<br />
It seems every time I write a post it starts with "man it's been awhile!" but that's the truth. Ive never been a faithful blogger but as I was thumbing through my blog posts yesterday I realized how fun it was to look back at all have done and seen and posted about Halloween and Haunting these past few years so I wanted to give a few new posts a whirl so lets see how it goes.<br />
<br />
This year we had one of our best haunts to date. It is our third year living here in Roselle Park NJ and technically only our second year with an actual Halloween because super storm Sandy hit us our first year and ruined our Halloween.<br />
<br />
This year I really had fun with our haunt as both my wife and daughter who is two and a half now both helped me in putting our display together.<br />
<br />
We have been steering away from the traditional cemetery the past two years now and creating scarecrows, witch lamps and creepy trees to decorate the lawn with and I have to tell you I love creating the scarecrows! Each scarecrow ends up taking on its own unique personality with their creepy grins and unique burlap duds and there is just an over all presence about them that I love as do the tots and their parents.<br />
<br />
Besides the scarecrows we created our first ever cauldron creep (credit to Devils Chariot the original CC creator.) The only different with our CC was that his head did not move, we opted to invest in a Fright Props talking skull and I am happy we did because it went over great with everyone. In the middle of our home made cornfield sat our CC stirring his cauldron while reciting "To Become A Werewolf" as read by Vincent Price. I have to say if your a haunter looking for an easy to use realistic looking talking skull the the Fright Props skull really delivers.<br />
<br />
I will post pictures and video as soon as I can get around too it but here is a little collection below as taken by my sister in law on Halloween night,<br />
<br />
I hope everyone enjoyed their Halloweens this year and I hope to resurrect this blog a little with some upcoming builds we have in store and a few daily banters.<br />

<br />
Well man o man! It's been awhile since my last post. I've been so busy with work, my daughter Harper, and getting ready for Halloween that it has been hard to post to the blog lately so I apologize for that but I will have some posts coming to show progress on our set up for this year.<br />
<br />
Again, this is out first year in our very own house so it has been exciting to finally decorate a place of our own and not an apartment or my parents house. It's been a little hard to get everything done that I would like because of course daddy duty has been kicking in and with a 6 month old to look after there isn't much free time to be had!<br />
<br />
Below are some initial pictures of our Haunt so far. We still have more props and fine details to add and most stuff probably won't go out until the night before or day of Halloween like all of our animitronic props but at least is something to share with you! More pictures and our annual haunt video to come!<br />
<br />
By the way Harper, our daughter, loves all the props and lights! She is a true haunter in the making!<br />
<br />
Hope your set ups are going well and I can't wait till Halloween!<br />
<br />

<br />
Boy it's been awhile and I seem to start each of my posts with that but the fact is little Mrs. Harper Rose is quite the handful so much so that I have been thinking of starting another blog just about her and my experiences as a first time father but then I really wouldn't have any time on my hands!<br />
<br />
Well back to my post. As you can see by the title I'm talking about Madame Leota today. Not much of a new subject for me really since last halloween I focused on making my first every Madame Leota projection effect prop for my haunt and a majority of my posts featured my progress but I wanted to circle back to it since I have been having new ideas on making a new Madame Leota prop this year but something more of a decorative piece rather than the projected effect which I will still use this year in my bay window of my home.<br />
<br />
Madame Leota and the Haunted Mansion are both near and dear to me as I am sure they are to most haunters out there. When telling our stories of how we came to love Halloween and haunting most of the haunters I know will say some of their first and fondest memories are of going to the Haunted Mansion, maybe we should start crediting Mr. Disney for being the first haunter ever and thank him for his contributions to our community...but that is a whole other post entirely so back to Madame Leota.<br />
<br />
Madame Leota is such a classic and central figure to the Haunted Mansion. Her blinking tombstone is featured in the que line of the attraction and quite a few haunters have started to try to replicate it to add as an addition to their haunts, one in particular is a friend of mine Kristy of the home haunt Noble Manor. You can watch her progress on her video blogs AKA vlogs <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oKhtpNUKaQ">HERE.</a><br />
<br />
Besides the Madame Leota tombstone we all know and adore Madame Leota herself in all of her floating head glory that is her magical crystal ball which is one of the most impressive scenes of the Haunted Mansion Ride. We all know the rhyme...."Creepies and Crawlies, toads in a pond, let their be music from regions beyond!" of course there is much more to that but you know it!<br />
<br />
She is such an iconic figure and one prop us haunters either have created for ourselves or have on our to-do list and it is one for me that I decided to come back to again this year after seeing William Bezeks perfectly awesome Madame Leota piece seen below.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
I stumbled upon Williams Blog while searching for Leota images to reference in a new art piece I am working on currently and I am throughly impressed by it. As you can read on <a href="http://williambezek.blogspot.com/2010/01/haunted-by-that-mansion.html">on his blog</a> <a href="http://williambezek.blogspot.com/">http://williambezek.blogspot.com</a> much of his family worked at Disneyland as he grew up as a child so he spent countless hours at the park (lucky him!) his favorite ride becoming The Haunted Mansion an thus Madame Leota became a source of inspiration for him in his art.<br />
<br />

I really love the detail in this piece from the glass dome which is hand blown glass from Germany to the coloring of the hair and perfectly sculpted face of Leota. Unfortunately I came across this post two years two late as he did sell this and a smaller version on his Etsy site. I would have loved to buy one of them!<br />

Williams work has greatly inspired my new Leota piece which I will have more on as progress takes off but I think this is a constant reminder how one iconic figure can become a source of inspiration for generations of artists and haunters alike. I myself doubt that I will ever get tired of creating props of Leota or anything from the Haunted Mansion for that matter.<br />

<br />
Harper was born on Mothers Day at 11:38am. Her wait funny enough was 6.66 haha! Pretty funny and perfect for a newborn haunter to be!<br />
<br />
Both mother and baby are doing great and we are all coming home from the hospital today. It has been an amazing experience and continues to be each and every day and I so look forward to spending my every minute with her!<br />
<br />
I have made some pretty cool halloween props in my lifetime thus far as a haunter but I have to say Harper is my greatest creation yet! She amazes me every moment and she just lights me up like a jack-o-lanter with such a glow that I swear I can brighten up the most darkest of rooms at night.<br />
<br />
I am looking forward to getting her home today and showing her her room and all of her toys, books, and games. You can be sure one of her first stories will be Where the Whild Things Are followed by the Halloween Tree!<br />
<br />
If your reading this post I am taking suggestions on her first Halloween Costume so please post your ideas below as I would love to hear them and look forward to sharing more news about Harper in the coming days!<br />
<br />
Stay Frightful!<br />

<br />
Man I have been a HUGE slacker on this blog but I have my hands tied with the new house not to mention out newest little trick or treater will be here any day now. As I type this I am actually off to the doctors with my wife, I am thinking out ToT might come sooner rather than later!<br />
<br />
Anyways...last weekend was the National Haunters Convention. I was there manning the Hauntcast booth with friend and master graphic designer Johnny Cross. It was great to meet many new faces as well as getting to see so many friends. It's one of the things I love most about the convention season because I do not get to see many of you throughout the year but at the cons it is always like a haunters family reunion and that is pretty special.<br />
<br />
I will be back with another post about the NHC itself but for now here are a few pictures so enjoy!<br />

<br />
Just getting in a late night post before I turn in. I hope everyone enjoyed their Friday the 13th! As I was reading my local newspaper today I came across an article explaining how Friday the 13th is for some people a type of holiday in which various folklore and superstitions are told and and in a way celebrated. To me it seems funny to celebrate what is purposed to be one of the unluckiest days there is but hey what can I say because some people would say I am weird for celebrating Halloween every single day of my life!<br />
<br />
I decided to look up some more history on Friday the 13th and like most things these days I cam across a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_the_13th">Wikipedia</a> page for it. In short the Wiki page says that folklorists say there is no written evidence for the Friday the 13th superstition before the 19th century. The earliest known documented reference in English occurs in Henry Sutherland Edwards 1869 biography of Giachino Rossini, who died on a Friday the 13th.<br />

Several theories have been proposed about the origin and one of the most popular is that it is a modern amalgamation of two older superstitions: That thirteen is an unlucky number and Friday is an unlucky day because in numerology the number 12 is considered the number of completeness as is reflected in the months of the year, twelve hours of the clock, twelve gods of Olympus, 12 Apostles of Jesus, and so on and so forth.<br />
<br />
So lets all thank the number 13 for showing up to the party uninvited and ruining everything why don't we! I suppose we can at lest thank the 13th for giving us a pretty great iconic horror movie and beloved slasher Jason Voorhees. We love you Jason!<br />

First let me say it's great to have <a href="http://hauntcast.net/">Hauntcast</a> back! I had fun throwing together The Shrunken Headlines and can't wait to keep bringing you some cool links and news each and every show.<br />
<br />
I'm hoping if your reading my posts here that you like the segment and are coming to my blog for some additional goodness. I am going to really start to make a big effort to post here once a day and even expand on some of the headlines since I am trying to pack as much as I can into 7 minutes each show and sometime that's just not enough time.<br />
<br />
So enough of that. Tonight I just wanted to highlight a cool website that is selling some pretty ghoulishly fun stuff and that site is <a href="http://www.doublehaunt.com/">Doublehaunt.com</a><br />

<div><br />
</div><div>Well it's official! I am the proud 1st time home owner!</div><div><br />
</div><div>Yesterday my wife and I closed on our first home and we couldn't be more excited! Of course with all the excitement comes the understanding that there is now so much to do. We need to clean, paint, move in and make this place our own and I am sure there are bound to be speed bumps along the way but regardless it is still surreal as I sit here typing this up in our apartment that we indeed own a home now.</div><div><br />
</div><div>The funniest thing about all of this is since every one of my friends and family knows how much I am into Halloween most of them have pointed out all the things I can do to haunt the house this October and I just had to laugh about that because other then us haunters out there and those who know us the best who actually buys a house and say "and this is where the grave yard will go" or " Yeah, I can set up at least 3-4 rooms in my garage for a walkthrough!" </div><div><br />
</div><div>I can't lie, as I walked through the house yesterday I thought of how I would decorate and do things but my secondary thoughts always had to do about haunting. It's a funny thing how haunting has really become a lifestyle for me and many fellow haunters I know. It's in everything we do and it's about the only thing we can talk about but man is it fun!</div><div><br />
</div><div>I am happy to own my little slice on earth and can't wait to get to work on it starting today but just know that in the back of my mind I will be thinking of a thousands to turn my house into the house on haunted hill this Halloween season!<br />

<br />
As always my endless thirst for creative inspiration continues and recently I have been focusing my attention on the craft of sculpting, molding making and painting. I suppose it has all been coming from watching Faceoff, Monster Man and Monster Makers most recently but regardless of that monster making is just something I am getting more and more into.<br />
<br />
I really want to improve in the areas I listed above and become a more versatile artist. In the past few years I have experimented but have never truly focused on practicing these skills and constantly trying to better myself at them.<br />
<br />
As a home haunter and graphic designer in general millions of ideas continue to swirl in and out of my head and I have come to the full realization that I need to really push myself to start creating some of these visions for my haunt because the normal ghouls and ghosts aren't cutting it for me much anymore. How many times can I create an oversized spider, carve a tombstone or create a scarecrow? Well I could do it endless because lets face it it is fun! however, I do strive to do more.<br />
<br />
For me haunting is an outlet to simply be creative. I can't lie, I have a normally creative 9-5 job as a graphic designer but the work normally starts and stops on the computer. I can't get dirty, sculpt with clay, heat and bend pvc, carve foam or do anything along those lines at work but when I come home from work I can sit in my dungeon and start to let my imagination run free using what ever tools and supplies I have at the ready to create one of a kind pieces of art but ya know sometimes the best pieces can't be realized until you do have an initial concept down on paper so this all brings me back to sitting down at a computer before I can even get to the fun stuff!<br />
<br />
I have been reading up on some of my favorite concept artists out there to learn more about their processes and one of my favorites of whom I would like to share with you is Jordu Schell.<br />
<br />
Some of you may be familiar with Jordu's work as it can be seen in a number of big budget movies but most recently he was featured in a few episodes of The Monster Makers on Travel Channel. Jordu is an extraordinary concept artist and sculptor and in his <a href="http://www.sketchtheatre.com/category/jordu-schell/">latest interview</a> on <a href="http://www.sketchtheatre.com/category/jordu-schell/">sketchtheatre.com</a> he talks about his process and even explains how the best designs usually always start with a sketch.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXUigjxBjxdNUtyoGEWaZgMHepn_YRnVfHc_VcHyuF4NacSks6tXsToD77YMnh6TCk9gGExGiRBhA4cB9Wlg1O7hbsAs2R07m-6XP0-gh9nTL9qPmX5fp1bbMF1E04Wb0rIS4BScSWsSzQ/s1600/Jordu_Schell_01_Sketch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXUigjxBjxdNUtyoGEWaZgMHepn_YRnVfHc_VcHyuF4NacSks6tXsToD77YMnh6TCk9gGExGiRBhA4cB9Wlg1O7hbsAs2R07m-6XP0-gh9nTL9qPmX5fp1bbMF1E04Wb0rIS4BScSWsSzQ/s320/Jordu_Schell_01_Sketch.jpg" width="269" /></a></div><br />
<br />
The coolest thing about Sketch Theater is you can watch each artist that is featured on the site actually go through the process of creating their sketches. All of the videos are usually done in time lapse but to see where they begin and how they go through their thought process of creating each sketch I find to be very inspiring.<br />
<br />
I highly suggest reading Jordu's interview, checking out sketch theater and taking at least one peek at the entire process of Jordu creating the sketch above by watching it from the links provided below.<br />
<br />
http://www.sketchtheatre.com/<br />
http://www.sketchtheatre.com/jordu-schell/jordu-schell/<br />
<br />
I suppose before I start doing any new sculpts this year I will need to start doing my own concept drawings and sharing all my dark creations here with you. Maybe I can get some helpful suggestions along the way that will help me pick which concepts to try to fully realize but it's definitely time to start to get to work because Halloween is only just around the corner!<br />

Stay Frightful~Grimlock Manorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11520340983259766802noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030478586383459936.post-64038965558178834962012-03-24T09:11:00.000-07:002012-03-24T09:11:11.901-07:00Slow and Steady wins the race.Hey Frightners!<br />
<br />
Well as the title says things at Grimlock Manor have been slow yet steady these past 2 months or so but it should all eventually pay off in the end. We are weeks away from our closing date on our first home! I am SOoooo excited to move in and though my first plan of action is to get our nursery all set up for the arrival of our first Tot (May 31st) my brain is also in overdrive about how I will be haunting our house this year!<br />
<br />
We will be living in a very haunter friendly neighborhood in Roselle Park NJ. Our street connects with Bender Ave which has been deemed Halloween central for the past however many years. I have been to the "Bender Experience" which is what RP natives have dubbed it and I have to say it is a sight! Every house has a display and every display has some theatrics going on from actors dressed as zombies rising from their graves to the mad scientist in his lab bringing Frankenstein to life, Bender has it all but as you near the end of Bender ave you come upon Henry Street which is where we are located.<br />
<br />
Even though we are not right in the middle of Halloween Central I am sure I can create a display that engages everyone to walk cautiously close enough for me to scare them! I've never had a house of my own to haunt but needles to say I am eager to move in and get to work! There have been so many things I have wanted to do that I have been limited in doing because I am not haunting my own property but now I have no limitations and it's time to unbind the demon wings and fly!<br />
<br />
My haunters life is evolving and new challenges await not to mention needing to get into some new daily habits with taking care of a ToT but I welcome it with open arms and am looking forward to what I can accomplish. Some people would say it's time to slow down now and the focus has to be put towards others things but I don't see it like that, maybe I am wrong and will be telling you that later down the line in future posts but I like to believe that slow and steady wins the race and my life as a haunter only has just begun!<br />

<br />
<br />
Check this awesome snake out! It's called the Titanoboa! The Titanoboa are said to be linked to modern day snakes and anacondas. Several years ago scientists from the University of Florida, Toronto and Indiana University unearthed fossils of this prehistoric snake and now we are getting our first glimpse of what this massive snake may have looked like 60 million years ago! I for one would not want to be dinner for this bad boy!<br />

This whole build really has me inspired to get to work on some massive props for my display this year. I have been contemplating doing one large center piece display this year so we shall see. In any case enjoy the video below for a look behind the making of this massive snake!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ruadh DeLone is a photographer out of Rheden, Netherlands. He started out drawing as a child and then moved to photography in 2007. His work focuses on portraiture with a bit of surrealism. DeLone has quite a few series of works; one inspired by his inspiration from Dutch Baroque painter Johannes Vermeer, and another series entitled “Vergänglichkeiten” which I believe means ‘transiency.’ This series features figures with the face slightly obscured by plastic, and a ghostly image of skulls and bones overlaid on the face. Pretty cool and Freaky!</span></span><br />

AND MORE!Hey Frightners!<br />
<br />
The movement to bring back Hauntcast is still on going and each and every day more and more vendors and haunters are stepping up to sweeten the pot if you do subscribe to the show. All of the discounts alone will well exceed the $100 subscription. As a home haunter myself these savings would be well worth it not to mention all of the raffle giveaways and now Hauntcast the Magazine! It's a no brainer!<br />
<br />
After much discussion with Chris we have decided that if we reach our 250 subscribers and Hauntcast does go back on the air that we will also create Hauntcast The Magazine. The magazine would expand on the show, the shows segments and more. Instead of just hearing how to make all of those cool props on the show we would offer how-to tutorials with detailed instructions. Expanded interviews with pro and home haunters. Reviews on horror comics, books, video games and movies. An illustrated comic featuring skully and all his mishaps in the dungeon. The list for what we could do in the magazine could go on and on but it will only happen if <a href="http://hauntcast.net/">you subscribe!</a><br />
<br />
Just think. A yearly subscription to any of the other top haunt magazines out there might cost you $50 or more. A year subscription to Hauntcast will cost you $100 and you are getting 2 radio shows, a mountain of vendor discounts and a magazine.<br />
<br />
Below is a quick synopsis of what's been going on once more and a list of all the cool stuff you will get with your subscription to Hauntcast. Please spread the word, post to your blogs, vlogs, facebooks or anywhere else you may lurk across this vast interweb. You, the fans, can bring Hauntcast back!<br />
<br />
Stay Scary!<br />

If 250 fans subscribe for $100 Hauntcast will be back on the air in April. That’s less than a movie ticket once a month. The haunt industries best vendors have stepped up to donate thousands of dollars worth of discounts as well as spooktacular prizes if 250 subscriptions are reached by 3/8/12.
