It is getting closer and I'm excited, I'm sure we all are....
What is your daily update and what did you do halloween related today?
For me, I guess the only thing I did was go shopping for a severd finger to put in our honey jar to try and stop our flatmates from eating it... but I couldn't find one...

The only Halloween things I did today were: I listened to a spooky music tape with monster songs on it, and I put a ceramic pumpkin in the window with a battery-operated simulated candle (the fake candle really looks neat!).

Apparently I'm not going to see Rocky Horror Picture Show now. Fort George ghost tours are sold out so I'm not going to that.
I might go to a haunted house this weekend and go for a haunted tour of the local theatre next weekend.

Probably nothing on Halloween this year, horror movie watching will increase before it, and of course I hit the largest haunted house in the world. Doesn't really feel "right" this year though. Maybe it's because I have a lot to do on Halloween...

It all sits atop my kid's head.
I cut the brim off a baseball cap and ran a coat hanger through it and bent the coat hanger around "shoulder-shaped" pieces of foam core.
I then hot-glued two cardboard dowels (from a coathanger) to the underside of foam core to give it greater stability. The cardboard dowels are hot glued to a pair of backpack straps.
Then I put a black shirt and black cape over the top, making sure to rip holes in the side of the shirt for my son's arms to poke through (the cape covers this simple puppeteering trick quite well) and he puts his hands through the shirt's sleave just at the cuff.
The bloody neck stump was made with foam core as well. I made a cross out of two pieces of foam core that fit the neck hole of the shirt. Then I glued dozens of small pieces of foam core to that frame until they fit the general shape of a neck stump. I then used my Dremel grinder to shape it - spay painted it red and finally cut out several rings of foam core, glued them together and into place top make the exposed neck bone.

Finally, the wife cut out two panels in the front of the shirt and sewed black pantyhose in their place. So my boy can actually see - you can see his eyes in the bottom of the photo.

it is excellent. Really astonishing. The best I've ever had was white all over my face, black around my eyes, slicked back hair, fake blood, blck clothes and a cape. I was a vampire. But I still think my mum did a good job.
Last year I made my youngest son the puppet from SAW.....my oldest son manages a video store and used it in a display.

Cool. You should have gone up to him with it behind your back and said in your normal voice
"I'm bored, so it's time to play a game" then given it to him.
I got a Glow in the Dark "Jason/Hockey" mask. Not to wear, (though obviously I tried it on ;)) I'm making a wall decoration.
I've found an old photo frame, going to get a black background to put in it, then display the mask as a picture.

It started off as a small gash, but my kid kept yanking at the latex and toilet paper wound I made. That was a shot taken at the end of the night when the make-up had taken a turn for the worse.

I'll be signing a contract in the morning (gotta get it done before the WGA strike:mad: ) and then I'l be reading my spooky poems to my son's class at noon.
Here's one for ya
Requiem for a Pumpkin
(c) 2007
Gone, all gone is the field I called home
Gone is all hope for survival.
Unspeakable things they have done to me here
Ever since my untimely arrival.
I used to know nothing but sunshine and warmth
Snuggled amongst my own kind.
But the days grew shorter and our number grew smaller
As my brothers were ripped from the vine.
I howled and I screamed as they severed my stem
But my cries fell upon stone deaf ears.
They whisked me away to a land made of steel
Where no one would care for my tears.
Paper laid out, sharp instruments too
My leathery flesh they did slice.
Clawing and ripping my insides to shreds
And toasting my seeds with spice.
They carved a crude visage across my best side
Mocking my pain with a grin.
Then burnt me alive with a candle inside
The true terror was about to begin.
Small and quite hideous the creatures surround me
Thudding across the concrete
Cackling and screaming, every one of them chants
That awful refrain “Trick of Treat!”
But the daemons have gone and I’m all alone
Burnt out and left here to die.
And boys are approaching, sledgehammers in hand
And I shudder to ask myself why…
