It's the least I could do. Still trying to get my friends digital video camera so I can post a vid of the ghost. It was a hit!!!

Thanks darryl!
Here's a link to the Creature Crate prop (http://www.hauntforum.com/showthread.php?t=4339) I told you I was working on.
Can't wait for your video! Glad to hear your prop was a huge success. Can you at least post a picture of it?

Spiderman? Damn! I must have given you the wrong link to follow. Try this one instead. (It should be Grimrot infront of a tombstone marked "Billy Rubin".

Yeah for the two of us. There was someone else on this forum that submitted and made it in to the finals. Who was it again? I'm not sure but I think he is a member here.
Oh yeah, the halloween KING, SCAREFX.

Just for the record, I think we are all going to get killed by the pumpkin carvings. They are simply fantastic.

I think you're right about that slimy. Those carvings are fantastic.
You need to keep one thing in mind and I hope the judges do also.
"The Submissions will be judged based on the following criteria: (i) consistency with the theme of the Contest, (ii) creativity and originality of the Submission?s content; (iii) the overall visual impact of the Submission."
I think the pumpkin carvings are fantastic, but I'm not sure they have the same "visual impact" that some of the others have. I think ScareFX's entry is a great prop and the photo is top notch (seriously, are you a professional or semi-professional photographer?). Slimy's entry has fantastic lighting and the theme is great! In hindsight, I should have taken some photos of my scene at night. After viewing all the entries, I still feel I have little chance of winning (I still hope there may be a chance based on the above criteria), but I'm just glad other forum members got involved.
To be quite honest, I really thought this was one of the best entries (http://photocontest.shutterfly.com/action/photocontest/vote?contestId=701&entry=162774).
Again, good luck Slimy and ScareFX!

I agree that pic was one of the best. It appears Scott Stoll (a HalloweenForum member) submitted that one. http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r122/scottastoll/
He does a nice job with his props.

I really did think his entry deserved to win. I was just a great photo. I was hoping for an honorable mention, but I didn't even get that. I guess I'll have to try harder .. um.. er.. I mean be scarier next year.
Did you win anything ScareFX? I really think you and slimy deserved at least an honorable mention also.

Yes I did win a $100 Gift Certificate to Shutterfly.com as a Consolation Prize. It was quite nice to be selected since there were so many good entries. I totally agree with you gmacted. Scott's entry deserved to win. It was a great shot.
