Last night I found one of the Baby Alive Bouncing Babblin' babies at Toys-R-Us on clearance for $10. I already had in mind to turn it into a bouncing bat baby, using of course, the infamous Bat Boy photo. I had seen a certain doll at a Wal Mart near one of my jobsites that seemed to have the...

Hi All! Here's the (somewhat ambitious) plan for DRM 2012. This is not all set in stone. We are obviously going to need to search out sponsors for the massive support that it will take to make it happen. But... 10year anniversay this year! We figure, GO BIG or forget it! ;-) The theme is...

I am thrilled to open up "Dark Ride" for pre sales. This album has been in the works for 16 months, every second of it was a joy. Because of the great anticipation and demand, I have decided to give you the chance to get a limited edition before it is released to the public. This limited...

I got this from one the mailings from Midnight Syndicate: "We are putting together a special music video for the song Goons and Greasepaint from the new Carnival Arcane disc and need your help! From now through October 1st, send us your creepy clown pictures, short video clips (less than 30...

Yesterday morning on a total whim we found out about an auction about 45 minutes outside of town and was soon among the Amish and some rather odiferous hill folk. Oh how I love auctions. I registered and begin the quick survey of stuff because I knew the auctioning would begin in a few minutes...

I hope I'm putting this in the right place, I couldn't decide it they were props or more "atmosphere". So I was hunting around for unique things to create my dark carnivale for this year and I stumbled upon a "simple" (they said it was, as I've not tried it yet, I cannot say) and what I...

After many years of hard work and sacrifice my wife and I finally purchased our first home. Its in a great neighborhood with tons of kids and participates in night time trick or treating. My son and I are putting on our first yard and I let him chose the our first theme. He has chosen an Evil...

I'm gonna get straight to the point: it looked for a long time like I was just going to do a party this year, but things are now looking like I might be able to do my original haunt idea of a dark carnival. One of the things I'm looking for is replicas of old-time sideshow banners. I'd paint...

Hello, Hello, Hello, me Haunties! I'm doing a ghostly carnival theme this year, and I'm looking for high-quality Sound FX to dub over my background music. The kind of sounds I'm looking for include popcorn popping, hissing steam, bangs, people riding roller coasters, and maybe bicycle horns...

Howdy, everyone! Listen, I was wondering about to create some smells for my haunt this year, which is themed as a run-down, ghostly carnival. I'd like to make the air smell like cotton candy & popcorn. I tried looking at Sinister Scents, but they don't sell any scents like that on-line. Does...

Anyone here ever use a Spidora in your haunt (with live actress)? How did it go? Any cautions or comments?
