AtmosFX Coupon Giveaway!

AtmosFX Ghostly Apparitions offers spooks for windows and walls!
It has been a very long time since I've done a giveaway here, and I must say that since the stars seem to have aligned just right, now is the perfect time!

While I was attending Midsummer Scream, I popped over to the AtmosFX display and chit-chatted for a bit. While I was there, I was given six 25% off coupons, each of which has a code for you to use at checkout whether you buy their digital decorations or some of their AtmosGear! (They do Christmas digital decorations, too!) And because it's how I roll, I will give all six coupons away to my readers!

What's even better than 25% off of great digital decorations? Well, I'll tell you!

AtmosFX has teamed up with Michael Dougherty, creator of Trick 'r Treat, to make an official Trick 'r Treat projection package! I'm so stoked!
From their website:
AtmosFX, Legendary Pictures, and filmmaker Michael Dougherty have joined together to create a stunning new digital decoration that captures the spirit of Dougherty’s 2007 indie horror classic “Trick ’r Treat.” 
The AtmosFX “Trick ’r Treat” Digital Decoration features Sam, the mysterious child in the burlap-sack mask, who ties together the feature film’s intertwined Halloween-themed stories. These all-new vignettes will remain true to the theme of the original movie, in which Sam dispenses his own unique brand of grisly justice on anyone who does not adhere to the traditions of Halloween. 
Like its R-rated film counterpart, this digital decoration features horror-themed content and is not suitable for younger audiences. 
AtmosFX’s “Trick ’r Treat” Digital Decoration will be available as a high-definition (1080p) digital download in late September, 2016.

I've been out of town, so that's why I haven't posted. Will be back soon with works-in-progress and other silliness!

Bates Haunt

The Bates Haunt isn't your everyday haunt. It's projection-based, and I swear, those people make me jealous and inspired all at once. The 2008 haunt is now posted on YouTube. I love how the pumpkin singers change into the band Kiss!

The picture quality is a bit grainy on this one. The 2007 picture quality is much better, and has the additional satisfaction of a kid running away from the house, screaming his head off. Priceless!

Videos like this give me crazy, grandiose ideas. Quixotic, even. I saw this and thought: I'd love to do this. Then I thought, But I love to build props, and there's not much room for props in this, because it would be too cluttered. Then, Wouldn't it be cool if the neighbors across the street could do this. Then, Wouldn't it be cool to talk our whole block into really doing it up for Hallowe'en. Have everyone do a different display. Maybe get the High School drama department to dress up and roam up and down the block and scare people. Oooh! And the next year, we could have a stage at the end of the street and do a show! We could put a couple of barriers at the open end of the street (I live on a dead end street)and charge, like, $5 per person and give the money to charity. And of course, reality set in, and had to ruin everything.

But it was a beautiful vision while it lasted.

Here's another cool video of a MOBILE projection. The Headless Horseman never looked so good!
