I don't usually post much about costumes. I usually stick to the same, simple thing every year, because I just don't have the time to come up with something new, in the midst of all the building and set up before Halloween.
But, I may have to reconsider after seeing this lovely and extremely impressive costume that I ran across while ranomly surfing the web for Halloween stuff
She even posted her whole "how-to" on her blog page here:

I'm blown away! What a beautiful job :)
Happy Haunting,
The Countess :)
Hope everyone has a Happy Easter, however weird it may be :)
Words simply cannot express how insanely excited we are here at 2nd Street Cemetery :) We found out today that we won Best Static Prop for the 2011 Home Haunters Video Awards!
It wasn't specified which prop it was that caught the judge's eyes, but I'm guessing that it was good ol' Jack :)
I'll be floating on cloud 9 for a while, so please excuse the giddiness that will occur ;) And then it will start all over again when the skull trophy arrives :) I cannot wait to display it next to Jack in the haunt this year. This is the happiest I've been since my wedding day ;)
Thanks to everyone that has encouraged and taught me along the way :) All of my blog followers, ya'll always make my day with your encouraging comments :) Support is the best thing for a creative mind.
Now without further ado...

Happy Haunting!

I received my Haunter's Video DVD's last week and got to watch 2 1/2 of the 5 discs this weekend. All that I can say is that there are so many talented and innovative haunters out there!
From projections, to prop animation, and atmosphere tricks, there is not a lack of creativity in the haunting world :)
I'm happy to see that the passion of Halloween yard haunting is very much alive and well all over the world.
This collection of videos is a great creativity sparker. I was so inspired by them that I finally started back up on my Raven Reaper prop this weekend :)
Oh and rumor has it, the results are in and the winners have been choosen for the Home Haunter's Awards :) No word on when they'll be announced yet, but it's supposed to be soon :)
I can't wait to see who the winning haunts are :)
In the mean time, a big bravo to all who submitted videos! And to those of you who haven't, you should take a stab at it this year :) It's a great way to show off your hard work :)
Happy Haunting!
For those of you who have not been introduced to the wonderfully addictive world of Pinterest, let me have the honor ;) It is a complete on-line, creative EXPLOSION! I avoided it as long as I could, before finally being sucked in, because I knew that I'd spend ridiculous amounts of time looking through all of the creative things that people are doing out there. But, in the end, I'm super happy that I took the plunge..
It really is the ultimate in DIY resources. Oh and did I mention the Halloween projects? Oh yes my fiends, Pinterest has Halloween projects.
This is a VERY cool one that I found today. I'm super excited about this and think that I could use the general idea in my haunt this year. Imagine somthing like this with blacklight paint on it. Maybe some cheese cloth? :) Oh the possibilities!
