Ok ... so what's creepy and scary and frightening and will make the weak-hearted cry?
No, not teenagers. (Although, yes ... but not in this case.)
Clowns.
They're scary, and you know it. I think I'll have some Murder Clowns, and stalker Clowns, and "Just standing in the bushes staring at you" clowns ...
AtmosFX makes a pretty good Clown Theme projection for the window or door, so I can do that. Broken carnival music ... dancing multi-colored lights ... bloody balloons ...
Finished (mostly) the poor Knife Thrower Target. I was originally going to go round, but "I changed horses in mid-stream ... It's the Addams way!" (Funny how some lines from old T.V. shows just seem to stick with you for life.)
We’re all familiar with the door decoration that’s available for sale. I recreated it with some cardboard and foam board for the nose, teeth, and hair for a 3-D effect.
On several occasions, I went in the basement and forgot my 7’ cauldron witch was down there. Even though I built her and put her there, I literally screamed bloody murder at the top of my lungs a couple times when I didn’t turn on the light. After it happened to my husband and kids a couple times, they voted that she had to permanently relocate to the detached garage. I can not even remotely imagine someone going in your basement! Clowns don’t freak me out but walking in on all those in the dark would probably result in someone doing a live CPR demonstration on me ha ha!
Okay .., you all saw the silhouette of the tent and ferris wheel I mocked up on the garage door … so I started making it and was dying from all the cuts I had to make in the cardboard. Then I found this …
it’s a cardboard cutter. It’s great. I probably would have quit if I hadn’t found this. Makes cutting cardboard soooo much easier.
Amazon (of course) $8.00. The best part about it it that I don't end up cutting through to a table, and don't have to re cut over and over to get all the way through.
I was scrolling back through your photos and saw a detail I missed - you holding a sign that says “Free Hugs”. So tell me, Mr. Scary Clown Guy, how many people took you up on that offer?
More than I expected. Mostly teen girls and toddlers, but a surprising amount of fathers, too. If someone said "No", or I didn't like the look of them, I would spin the sign around to say "Free Candy". That would get 'em.
Wonderful job, Doc! A creepy and spooky masterpiece. 🥇
