The Undertaker and Halloween 2

Yup! That's me! I was an extra in the Phantom Jam scene in Rob Zombie's Halloween 2. We shot for the good part of two days straight and other than the pay stub and this photo, there's very little prof that I was even there. Still, an amazing experience. I'd love to do it again...as a zombie...for The Walking Dead...being filmed in Atlanta...where I live! (anybody listening?) ;)

Halloween Party Invitations

Here's my Halloween party invitation from 2010. I found the images, labels and fonts online and built it in Photoshop. It was printed double-sided on thick card stock, wrapped in a wrinkled craft paper "envelope", sealed with a vintage poison label and tied "butcher-style" with twine. I'd love to see your invites!

Genius!

Grow Your Own Zombie

I saw this on HalloweenForum.com and had to share. The simplicity is genius! It was also suggested that there be an open bag of "brain" fertilizer close by!

Scent Your Fog with FrankenScents!!

Keep an "eyeball out" for FrankenScents.

It's due to open soon!

Here are some of the fog scents that FrankenScents will be offering:

Swamp - a damp, cool, swampy marsh
Charred Corpse - disgustingly real burnt flesh
Autopsy - a caustic deathly musk, formaldehyde
Creepy Carnival - A gothic circus in scent form
Hell - Fire and Brimstone, and sulfurous magma
Forest - A mysterious, dark wooded forest.
Laboratory - The smell of smoke, machinery and rubber
Hayride - Pumpkins and hay
Powder Keg - Great for pirates or prospectors, canon-fire or mine shafts.
Zombie Breath - what death's breath smells like in the morning
Voodoo'd - smell of a voodoo rite around a campfire
Urine - Pee! Smelled in hospitals, pottys, asylums, and public transportation
Slaughter Farm - Bad for the livestock, good for the butcher
Vampyre - The quintessential broody gothic fragrance
Mansion - A dusty plantation, cobwebs and all
Rotting Coffin - Unearthed and moldy tomb
Witch's Brew - A spicy harvest fragrance
Toilet - PU this one smells just bad
Candy Corn - True candy corn in liquid form
Full Moon - Crisp, cool night under a full moon
Sea - the algae infested briny ocean.

I NEED to sample them all but I'm most excited about the Zombie Breath scent! I have a zombie ground-breaker prop who's just itching to spew some rank, zombie breath fog from his gaping maw!

Making Zombie Arms

Tonight I'm making prop zombie arms out of bended pvc pipes to go with the zombie hands I made last year.


Two 9" pieces of pvc pipe.



Curved slightly by heating them up with a heat gun.



Holes drilled into the ends.



Fastened with zip ties.



Zip tie ends stuck into the open end of the pvc pipe and everything taped down with duct tape.

Next I'll coat the arms with construction adhesive (like liquid nails), stain them and give them a little touch up paint.

Pumpkin Spice Liqueur - Round 2

I'm in the process of perfecting my Pumpkin Spice liqueur recipe (originally obtained from HalloweenDrinks.net). This time, a little less sweet and with a slightly higher alcohol content.


The Ingredients


The spices in the bottom of the jar before adding the pumpkin and the 100 proof vodka. Looks delicious doesn't it?


This murky swill will soon become delicious pumpkin spice liqueur! Really!

Halloween Cemetery Fence Reference

On a recent trip to the cemetery to shoot some product shots for HauntedHotSauce.com, I stumbled upon the following:



I was AMAZED! This is the cemetery of my Halloween dreams!!!! I shot detailed photos of 2 or 3 fenced in areas. I WILL recreate one of these areas for my home haunt this year!

Sweet, spicy, pumpkin-y and about 50 proof!
CHEERS!
