The boneyard from last year, I'll be putting this back up today or tomorrow. The stones are going to have mostly comedians and authors of clasic horror stories on them for names.

I have several more in the works, including a flying monkey (which I am letting James' mom be in charge of the main making of) a ghoul, at least one more scarecrow (the one above is from last year and I can't remember what I named him so he needs a new name) a vampire that will sit up out of the long coffin shaped planter with a pully system when we open the door. An a really tall skinny tim burton-ish character if I can get the right supplies in time. I'd also like to make a few zombies if I can find the time.

Laura (james' mom) has been busy making loads of very awesome tralantulas. So there will be those too.

I've had a lot of people stopping to look while walking or driving by so I'm pretty much giddy at this point.

Man, why do you have to live so far out? My kids would love to visit your place for Halloween. It looks great!

I'd go with Priscilla for the Bride, Clive for the Scarecrow and Mrs. Mockford (My 3rd grade teacher) for the witch.

The Pumpkin Prince looks like a drive-by victim (and yes, that's my pitch for a name).

I like Priscilla and Pumpkin Prince and Clive. Definite consideration.

I need to get a new head for the bride, I used my Vanquished Enemy's Severed Head On A Spike that I made last year, and now I miss having it where you can really see it. (which I was going to post a picture of by itself just now, but I can't get into photobucket because James put new safty blocks on what our kid can veiw on line and apparently thing has decided phobucket is out unless I know the password, good thing I could still log in here though) Well I have to go get a new head soon, Value Village has a huge bin of plain white styrofoam heads for $2.99 each so it is my new favorite place, so much fun with those things.

Today I got a pair of gorilla hands for $3 for the Zombie/Ghoul I started working on this morning.

This looks like a perverted Wizard of Oz. I love it. You might want to go with the names from the movie, although a bit of Irony added to them would be great. I like the name "Patches" for the scarecrow. It's a great name for a scarecrow and doesn't seem scary at all, which is great, because what you've created would have scared the Jesus out of me if I was five.

I love the bride, the posturing is good, realistic. Would make you wonder when you're walking by...is it fake or someone really standing there waiting to jump out and scare me?

It's odd when someone refers to Value Village as Value Village, I'm so use to it being referred to as the V and V boutique.

I think it is pretty bitchen. James' mom made him, took her about the past two weeks, she kept trying to get me to help, but I tried to offer as little advice as possible.

She needs that right now, to figure out she is competent and artistic and be happy in the knowledge.

You are such a sweetheart. I think that is very kind and wise of you to realize these things.

When Charles Bronson was a kid, his family was so poor that he often wore his sister's hand-me-down clothes. One of them could have been a tutu!
