The Haunted Library is located in Fenwright Manor, just behind those pocket doors in the foyer. Don't you just love the smell of old books? Actually it's just a how- to index

Ghost Lighting Set-up Still Pictures


These are still pictures from The Ghost Lighting set-up Video from Halloween 2007.  This lighting consists of two blacklights, and a blue party lightbulb.  Also featured are two of the "Haunted Candleabra" props made by Trendmasters in the mid 1990's.   They have been painted to look old.
(click on pics to enlarge)

This is the bottom of The set-up, with a blue light, a powerstrip, and a blacklight.
Also featured is a replica of the candle held by the Ghost Bride from the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland.

 

This is the top blacklight of the set-up, it is  24 inches



This picture features the ghost that is to be lit with her arm held by a rope attached to a crank motor to move the arm up and down.  The motor ran well in tests but did not work on the big night.
 
 
 
 

This is the same ghost from Halloween 2006, also in the shot is the "Haunted Candleabra" made by Trendmasters in the mid 1990's

This is from the Fenwright Manor(Haunted House Ride) blog

The future of this attraction is in jeopardy, all the concept art and protype props were lost with storage. Not to mention that serious captial is needed to fund and build this ride. It's been off and on since May 1996, and always gets put on the back burner. I don't know if this will ever get built and it's hard for me to ask for investors or look into getting a loan or grant.

Everything is gone

The future of this blog is in serious question.  I am beside myself after learning our storage was sold out from under us.  I mean what storage facility sells the contents of a unit after being late two months?  My brother called every month to explain our situation, and was assured they would work with us on a payment plan.  Everything is gone,  paintings, props, notes, pictures, plans, decorations....  it's all irreplaceable.   I don't know what I'm going to do, maybe I will leave these blogs open or maybe I will delete them 'cause I'm so damn depressed.

The Haunted Library Facebook Page

I am pleased to announce that The Haunted Library now has a page on Facebook.  I guess it's my attempt to reach a broader audience.  As of now the page is still under construction, but please check it often.

The Haunted Dining Room

In my old house, the front door was in the dining room, as it was with trailer houses from the 1960's.   This presented a unique opportunity every Halloween, but was not realized until 1998.   The dining room had a buffet with china cabinets above it, and a chandelier.  It had "Victorian haunted house" written all over it.  From 1998 to 2005, I would put dim blue lighting up, move some old looking "props" around,  and use the cotton spiderwebs to maximum effect.   Until I can find more pictures, these three are the best I could find.


This is from 2001


2005


and under "show lighting" from 2004

The Grave Jumper with shroud
I thought I would post this picture of the grave jumper skull with it's shroud since it was too fast to be seen in the Halloween video I posted last November.
