ANOTHER PROP PROJECT COMPLETED

I'm happy to have another project completed for my cemetery, I spent the weekend upgrading my old store bought tombstones.

I've never really been happy with my old tombstones because I've always had a hard time keeping them standing up straight when they are placed in the ground.

In the past I've used either wooden or rebar stakes, but they look like crap from behind or snap if there's a big gust of wind.

This year I purchased 2"x 6" wood lumber, I cut the wood to match each tombstone to size, drilled holes into both the wood and tombstone, placed 8" spiked nails filled with construction adhesive foam board into the tombstones. I then drilled two additional holes on each side of the wood to pound nails threw into the ground and painted the wood grey to match the tombstones.

Next year I plan on making many of my own custom tombstones.

MY NIECE MEGAN IS A VAMPIRE

I just found out that my niece Megan is a Vampire and I think it's great.

This would explain why I've never see her around during the day, I just thought she was like most teenagers that like to sleep all day.

Megan will be handing out candy on Halloween night to all the kiddies, I hope she doesn't get thirsty!

TRICK R' TREAT SAM PROP

I'm very excited about the new addition to the Thornhill Woods Haunted House family for Halloween 2009.
My friend Brian Lashchuk from Beyond the Grave Productions created a new custom prop for me from the soon to be released horror movie "Trick r' Treat" (Out on DVD October 6th, 2009).




One of the characters in the movie is a little kid named "Sam"who is a mischievous trick-or-treating demon that will haunt you if you don't follow Halloween traditions.

So for any of you out there that don't follow Halloween rituals, best beware of "Sam" the enforcer of Halloween.
