    I bought many sets of hands from GhostRide Studios - they were awesome / many options / affordable! I could use their hands to customize a mannequin for various types of static props. They now appear to be to busy to sell just body parts. I've tried pouring my own foam and silicone hands w/...

The main difference between Allen's corn and mine is in the painting: his are painted green, mine are yellows and browns as if they're dead. I also used 1/2" PVC pipe instead of the...

    Last year, my dad & I decided to do a "Haunted Woods" on the 7 acres we own. It is sort of like a haunted house, except it is set outdoors in the woods. As an added bonus, the property is actually located on a street named "Cemetery Lane" and sits between two actual cemetery sites.Everything...
