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.

Scrooge & Marley

Here's my drawings of Ebenezer Scrooge and the ghost of Jacob Marley from this video last year.

So apparently I have been nominated for a Zombie Rabbit award from Maple Grove Cemetery.
But Blogger will not let me post comments by saying my account isn't authorized to leave comments.
I have no way to contact anybody, but enough for that, Creepmas is coming...and I will be posting on my Tumblr some old(creepy) gems.

Halloween 2011




Flowerbed Graveyard



 

Old store bought styrofoam stone on wood base
Inscription reads " Upton O'Goode, a fine upstanding man,
all the way to the gallows"



Store bought skull stone on a wood base

Angel statue on cinderblock plinth  ( I debated wether to post this, but I think it looks ghostly)

Cross stone on cinderblock with plastic fence

Giant spideweb
(for the large spider in a previous post)

Orange lights in the rosebush

There were a few thing I wish I could have done, but I did'nt have the time, I was rushing from last Thursday up until 5:00 P.M. on Halloween.
Things like cotton cobwebs on the big web and sound for the grave jumper, and last minute problems such as, getting the Gemmy Lightshow and timer around 5:00 and the air compressor bleeding air did'nt help. Setup for the Graveyard took about 30 minutes to put up and 20 minutes to take down.

People seemed to like it and took pictures.  Now for a video of the gravejumper  and (sort of) singing pumpkins.  The music was also full of problems, so no audio of it.  I edited these videos and added a laugh for the jumper

Haunted Library projects

Some of these projects were done before the blog existed.  A couple will be surprises from the haunted house blog.

Grave Jumper part 3

When we last left off, we were coming out of an attic window and looking over a graveyard under the moonlight.... No wait..

20" Air Cylinder with hose attached

I finally recieved a double acting, 20" (51cm) universal mount air cylinder from Frightprops in mid-September.   The two ports are 1/8" and I used an airgun adapter in testing.







With 15"(38cm) long arm attached.  The arm sits on a 6''(15cm)
piece of scrap wood.  I might change the design.

With skull attached

And now, a preview video

I added an unused laugh, though I may re-record the laugh to be longer
