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...

BlogTV Thanks

Well, I did my first BlogTV show last night, armed with my blue raspberry martini. Big thanks go out to Fright Guy, The Bloodshed Brothers, and Chris Baker for co-hosting and making the show almost halfway intelligent.
For those not able to make it, we had two home haunt celebs join us to chat: Mr. Chicken and Spider Rider, both of whom are gracious enough to be helping me with a new prop and revamping an old one. Chris Davis of Davis Graveyard checked in for some fun, too, and debated the value of blue drinks vs. wine. 


We had two new TV stars appear, as well: Christmas Ape and Samhain. Neither of them has much comment, although Ape thinks Jeromy looks pretty hot in his little blue dress. (Credit for the pic goes to Jody Bossert of Haunted Night.)
I'll get some new pics of Sam up shortly. I have to say, it was pretty wild being gone for a week and coming back to see how much he'd grown in just that short time! He didn't seem to mind being on TV, and didn't demand his own trailer and makeup people, unlike Ape, who can be a little full of himself sometimes. Ape, by the way, has new Facebook pics from the Shasta trip, if you want to check them out.


I took the opportunity to show off the latest creations out of the kiln, so if you missed that part, you'll just have to wait until I put pics up for the Etsy store! (Big thanks to DixieDawn for her mini-ghost purchases!)
O.k. kids, it's time for me to get back to making Hallowe'en!

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!

Stealth Run

I made a stealth run over to Spider Rider's house the other night. While he didn't have everything all lit up, his signature piece was in plain, creepy view.

I can't wait to see the full display!
