Behind the scenes Halloween 2012


A behind the scenes look at my madness... and this was an "off year" where we only decorated the outside...

Before

Add Heavy Metal and Doom Metal

Add a few building materails
The Gates of Hell started with building a 7'+  ( I wanted a full 10' but didnt have enough scene setters and the pvc wasnt strong enough to handle 10') facade of pvc framing around the entire front of the house. Then covering it with Scene Setters.  You can see our hell hound standing guard and "helping"... more like eating the wall !
Wait.. you mean we are going to wrap the WHOLE house?

I think you are missing this piece!

Whatcha doing back there?

Hell hound standing guard

Teamwork fighting the wind and taping from both sides

more tape

Arrgh even with a light breeze the facade is like a sail!

My creative workshop area!

Skeletons Everywhere!

Hanging around waiting to be drilled..



Homage to Tawny Kitane and Whitesnake video!

If I cut open a skull and squirt foam in it ... I can make another skull!

Skull factory!

Sorry... loved that Tawny Kitane...

Even skulls that didnt come out right make great torches!

Punkin on a stick! old costumes never go to waste!

Ah..Snow white you were my first...

Love the rubber barbed wire... looks painful

I think I have something in my eye... hey its pvc!

Ah yes... mood lighting and a welcoming face!

Pretty tame in daylight... still had a lot of cars stop though...
