So I had originally posted this on the Showroom section of this board, and had so many positive responses that I am posted it here. While sitting at work one night I had thought to myself "hey, you don't have a ghost for your cemetery!" So I quickly designed one using Photoshop, printed it out on our large printers at work, and what do ya know, she glows under black light. If you use regular printer paper that most homes have, whatever that is not black will glow under black light. I made her look "fuzzy" around the edges to give her a wispy/smoky look to her. When you have the ghost printed out, cut out all the white borders your printer will give you and tape each piece together. You can hang her in a mausoleum for all those who don't have a FCG, or in a dark corner of your cemetery.

She looks soo "creepy" that my wife wont let me have her hanging while she is home...HAHAHA... Here is the link of what she looks like under normal light then under black light...

If you want the high resolution files please PM me with your e-mail address. To use my ghosts all I ask are two conditions...One, that you send me photos of how you used it in your haunt, and Two, give credit where credit is due..thats all.

Great job!

Great job! Email sent!

How did you get it printed on the canvas?

I have access to several plotters, but they can only print on paper or vellum.

 

[frstvamp1r]

MoonDog,
I didn't print on canvas, it is merely bond paper. I don't like using our canvas material for my "personal" projects since we charge about $20 per sq. ft. of it. Just use regular bond and you are good to go.

that's so cool! I can't believe it's just a picture

 

[frstvamp1r]

I originally got my idea on how she looks from Disneyland's Haunted Mansion, their "new" bride in the attic illusion is really, well, for lack of a better word, "dark"...I did realize that I didn't have a ghost for my cemetery, and I based how she looks from the Haunted Mansion

Wow! That was deliciously freaky! Good job!

 

[AzKittie74]

[frstvamp1r]

AzKittie, thanks for the compliment...remember folks to not forget to send me the photos of how you used my ghosts in your haunt. I can't wait to see how creative you guys get with them.

[lyssa-anne]

wow..that is very cool, I love the effect of the black light!!!...would that work as a window display? if so where would you put the black light?

 

[frstvamp1r]

Lyssa, for the window, I would have the ghost away from the window a bit. Just enough room to have the blacklight sitting between the window sill and the ghost. You can either have the blacklight illuminate from above or below, me personally, I would have the blacklight out of sight. So if you have the blacklight above, have it a few inches in from the window sill as well so you dont see the blacklight. Maybe even have a fan blow some air in the direction of the ghost to have her sway a bit. Be careful though that the blacklight isnt near any drapes or curtains or anything that can catch on fire. Some black lights (like the bulb kind) get very hot.

 

[lyssa-anne]

frstvamp1r - thanks so much for the info. its greatly appreciated! Thinking of giving it a shot!

 

[Fright Yard]

The more that i think of it this may even go good with the big scream DVD's. This would make for a killer backdrop with a projected face! Just an idea I'll have to experiment with it to see how it looks.

 

[Ghoul Friday]

That's really sharp. I especially like the photos of the children (why is it that children are scarier than adults? Perhaps that's why I have plants instead).

 

[frstvamp1r]

Ghoul, for me I don't think children are "scarier", just "sadder" for me, to think that a child died and now it's soul is not at rest. When I was a little boy, I was an altar boy, and I had to serve a funeral mass for a little baby. First time in my life I saw a casket soooo small, it depressed me. So yea, I personally don't find it scarier, just sadder.

 

[lovelyislacey]

Great job on these! I would never have thought to do this!

 

[frstvamp1r]

Lovely, thank-you for the compliment, you should have e-mail from me within a few minutes. You asked me in PM how to use the ghost. Since you said you were having a party, have her hanging in the darkest part of your home, but where you know where some people might pass. A friend of mine put her ghost in the shower with a black light, and when her husband went in to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, well, let's just say he didn't need to use the bathroom for a bit.

 

[Irishcarpenter]

Thanks for your help! Simple and FREAKY idea! (my kids agree!)
