Thanks, after studying this stone, I think I will add to it when I get some more foam scraps, I have a few ideas that will make it more 3 dimensional I think

Thought you'd appreciate this Spooky, guy is testing out his AtmosFearFX videos on a fog screen. Awesome effect.

More info on the fog screen...


It is an old Sharp Notevision projector, and the fog screen is a box with 14 computer fans that create 2 walls of air. Fog is pumped through a 4" PVC pipe in the center with a slit cut lengthwise along the pipe. I need to add drinking straws to channel the air from the fans for a cleaner flow.

well, the <deleted>-hats at FB closed my Halloween account because I refused to use my real name (I have a personal FB for that) so I guess I'll have to just update straight to here from now on.....

This site is better then FB anyways.

Okay, here are the beginnings of a few "props", one is a column that will look like brick and the second is a groundbreaker coffin that (if everything goes right) will bang its door as someone walks by.....

Spooky, you really need to quit your day job and start a business selling your props.

Thanks guys!

Did some more painting today on one of my brick columns.......I keep getting asked why am I making a column that looks JUST like the column thats there, well, I cant drill holes and mount lights in the actual column, I would have a mess of wires dangling all over, so doing it this way, I can hide the wires (and this really messes with the maintenance man too, he keeps thinking I messing up the building :) )

I still have the weathering to do to it but here is the real one and my fake foam one
