I Made new 1st prizes this yr. People really liked them better than the Bobble heads of the past.

I really liked the way the Arms came out especially the Brick work.

Too bad it was not noticed at night. Ah but that is another thread ;)

I took some Video of the Arms moving. Hopefully I'll have time to post them soon.

Great job! The bricks are begging for a how to!

The first Prizes are awesome.

Wow Tom, the brickwork did turn out really good and the arms also look excellent. I look forward to seeing them this weekend. :D

wow looks great. Curious about the bricks. Want to see the video.
Party prizes are awesome. LOVE the wine in casket.

I give out liquor prizes for my halloween party every year. I'm sooooo stealing the coffin idea to put the bottles in.

Pics look good. I want to the see the vid of the arms as well.

The bricks are made of the Pink foam that every one uses.

I bought the Bad Boy Scenic Design Styrofoam Masons DVD. I wish there was more material on the Video. But they did have some great techniques that used to make the bricks.

They Idea for the coffin actually came from a bottle of wine My wife & I bought on our
honeymoon in the CA wine country. My dad suggested that I Make my own give them out
as gifts for my Annual Party. I didn't like the original design & shape of the coffin so I redesigned
it in with more of the Toe Pincher dimensions. In doing that the Bottle would flop around that is
where I decided to add the fabric interior.

When I get a chance I'll post the plans I drew and a quick how-to on a Prop-building thread.

Thanks for the interest. BTW Loved the TV spot ;)

Thanks for the brick tips!

Your Haunt looks incredible! How long did it take to do the "crypt/house"?:eek:

[krough]

I built the crypt last year but ran out of time for the Arms. They are based off an small detail in
Disney's Haunted Mansion.

I actually got the idea of the Haunted Dog house from my trip to Disneyland last April.
I have decide to base my haunt to have a more Disney feel rather than Gore/Scary.

If I ever get around to building a web site I'll start to post How-Tos.

Any suggestions for Site builders.

Excellent pictures. Love the prizes and it looks like everyone enjoyed themselves. Great brick work.

[Dreadnight]

SpecTTM, your masonry is drop-DEAD gorgeous. That's great work! I like the whole haunt and bet your guests were wowed...

[heresjohnny]

I love it, I am really drawn to the fence, and the detail on the brick work is great.

[Vlad]

Hi Spectre. A real work of art you have there. Congrats on everything. Hey, how come we weren't all invited to the party??? LOL

[mikeq91]

Great job! I love the arms and I can't wait to see the video for them. Hopefully next year I'll be able to make the drive up to see it in person!

[widowsbluff]

Great job, I too love the bricks, crypt and the coffin boxes.

[turtle2778]

WOW!!!! I loved it. You did a fantastic job. What was the little house in the garage for? I didnt see it in any other pictures.

[darryl]

That is awesome. I wasn't going to do a crypt next year but now I might with that inspiration.

Hey turtle.

That is my haunted dog house. I had my display on both sides of the walkway. The crypt was on one side. The haunted dog house and the
animated coffin were on the other side.

I have videos that need to down load and post.

[ScareFX]

Fanstastic job Tom! Amazing detail and I do love detail (even if the tot's don't see it). Great work.
