You know you're a haunter when...

[Mad Tad]

-You absolutely cannot work without Halloween music as you make your props.

-You debate "food vs. paper towels" with your last 10 dollars in your wallet.

Having just defibrillated my interest in Halloween (thanks to Pumpkinrot) I now find myself in funny incidents wondering if others go through the same thing. One of the having to have Halloween music to listen to while working on my first prop and coming down to my last 10 dollars; debating if I want to eat or buy paper towels to corpse my prop.

What's yours?

You are right on and not alone. Absolutley you need Halloween music. It sets the mood and I feel even more creative. People listen to Christmas music while decorating, so for sure Hallwoeen music is a must have.

And about that last 10 bucks... yep, been there done that.

I do listen to Halloween music while working on props, too. It just sets my mood the right way.

The biggest thing for me is sleep vs. finishing a prop. I am exhausted! Halloween was fantastic this year, but it wiped me out. I haven't had enough sleep in quite some time.

You get caught trying to steal props from the scene of an accident

[Spooky1]

You tell someone who's in the hospital to look for prop supplies.

[Goblin]

You go to funerals looking for props

[Jacksonville Haunter]

you learn painting, welding, wood working, audio editing, video editing, sculpting, programming, pneumatics, curbing, mechanics, electronics, costuming, symbology, photography, plumbing, sewing, power tools, hand tools, sound design, and how not to get burnt by all the damn hot glue.

[Goblin]

You buy dead bodies for props

[Hairazor]

You won't let hubby throw away neck brace when healed because it will make a great prop. Likewise no problem about how to use up all that extra unused guaze.

[Sawtooth Jack]

You've got props stored in at least three to five locations in your home and garage, and when you come across them during the course of your day, you talk to them in anticipation of the big night!
