Throwback Thursday: Spider Rider

It turns out I live a few short blocks away from Spider Rider. Looking forward to ambling over to his place to check out his evil works this year...

Casa Fear 2010

At long last, I have the opportunity to start going through my Home Haunter DVD collection! It seems that every time I try to sit down in any empty living room with a tv and a dvd player, someone else suddenly wants to come in and ask, "What the Hell is this you're watching?" (Thanks, Mom. You've only been in your room all day, waiting for this opportunity to annoy me, haven't you?)

I got to watch one of my favorite haunts, Casa Fear. I wish I had the budget and the knowledge to add a few more pneumatics and animatronics!

Just wonderful! *happy sigh*

Brandywine Cemetery

Hauntcast pal Robert of Brandywine Cemetery has truly outdone himself this year.

I have envy. Deep, deep envy.

More Brandywine Cemetery pictures here.

Spider Rider Stills 2010

As Hallowe'en Night wound slowly down, I asked Mr. ShellHawk if he would mind the shop while I took a quick trip over to Spider Rider's Haunt. I hadn't gotten to see the full display, and was really stoked when Mr. S smiled indulgently and gave me his blessing.

"Have fun!" he said, as I trotted out the door with my little Canon PowerShot.

The man himself was camped out in the driveway, waiting for unsuspecting tots to wander by. It was great to see him again, and he graciously gave permission for me to take some pics and some video of his haunt. Here are the pics. The video is going to be awhile, and I plan to run it by him before I post it, so it has his approval.

If all goes well, we'll do an exchange of services this year; he'll help me re-do my witch (I still hate her!), and I'll make him some custom tombstones. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me!

The Witch of Rose Hill-Hallows 2010

At long last, the video is done! I may do more tweaking later, but at least you can get an idea of what the Night of Nights looked like from my house. (Watch it as soon as you can, in case the soundtrack is silenced by The Man!)

Update: I fixed the editing issue at the end of the video and re-uploaded it, so it should play better now.
