I like the parody great video

To answer iHaunt, Yes, I have seen some of the Singing Pumpkins out there. One of the companies that is selling the projections is even using one of my songs that I wrote and sang.

Just finished up another video! This one is not a new song, it's from 2009, but the video I had for it was pretty poor quality. I hope to replace several older, poor quality videos with newer ones for the songs we already have while I'm waiting to produce the new material for 2014.

I thought I would start at the beginning and re-film the official Introduction of Sindy Skinless and the Decomposers.

Yes, there have been a few new videos since my last entry.

I'm trying to keep busy in the off-season

Here's a new take on Dry Bones filmed on location!

A haunting macabre of some campy TV Tunes:

Just spotted Sindy and the gang in the pictures section of the first issue of Home Haunt News...

These are amazing and great fun. I want a Sindy Skinless and the Decomposers concert jersey!

The latest new songs and videos, both shot on location of different Halloween events in 2014.

The first is a parody of Aretha Franklin's "Think". We call it "Stink"

This one is a medley of some old Jazz standards. We call it our "Standards Medley" and it includes parodies of "As Time Goes By", "They Can't Take That Away From Me", and "All of Me".

Wow! It's 2016, and I have been out of the loop for quite a while! I have still been working on new videos and songs, and have several to post from 2015 and 2016! I got an early start on 2016 and have already completed a few for this year. I have another halfway done, but I will post all the new ones that I have since I have last visited these pages.

I try to get better at the videos each year. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes not.

This year, I hope to have DVD's available on http://sindyskinless.com for anyone who's interested. They can be played at home and make good background for your home Halloween parties. These aren't completed quite yet, but I hope to have them done in the next month or so.

I have been working at a place called the Haunted Forrest in Williston, VT (http://www.thehauntedforest.org/) and Sindy and the Boys have been doing live performances there as well as at the Wilson Castle in Rutland, VT (http://WilsonCastle.com). They also usually make an appearance at my hometown (Quechee, VT) Halloween event put on by the chamber of commerce for the kids.

I'm rambling now, but I realized I haven't been on this site for quite a while. I need to get into these boards again and see what everyone is up to.

Here are the videos which I have made since the last posting here:

From 2015:
(In 2015, I partnered with a very talented musician and composer, Sam Haynes who has produced lots of excellent Halloween and generally creepy music. I used his stuff with his permission in many of my videos at the beginning and ending for the credits. I encourage everyone here to check out his work and support his efforts! Please visit his website and check out all of his excellent tunes! (http://www.hauntmusic.co.uk/)

Here's the first one from 2015. We call it, "Spicy Brain Stew" (A parody of Runaround Sue)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhhvBCjxoYs

The second entry from 2015 was something called "Waking Up is Hard to Do"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhhvBCjxoYs

Another was the fun tune we call, "He's Not Too Bright" In this Parody of Billy Joel's "You May Be Right" we tell the story of how Mr. Head joined the group.

Then there was the parody of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep", which we (of course) changed to "Buried Six Feet Deep"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQKpPMQuy7s

And Finally for 2015, we did a parody of the old doo-wop tune, "In The Still of the Night" by the 5 Satins. We called it "I Lie Still Every Night". After all. most dead people do.

2015 was a very busy year, and I only managed to complete the work on these songs days before they went to perform on the live shows. All the videos except for the first one were filmed on location at one of the live shows at the Wilson Castle since I didn't have the time to produce full videos like Spicy Brain Stew for all of them. But this gives you an idea of exactly what the audience sees at an event. I also added my own lighting which now travels with me for all the live shows.

In 2016, Sindy got a footwear upgrade. She now sports these fancy heels:



Here are the most recent videos for 2016. I have 3 done, one more in the works, and possibly another if something comes to mind in time to produce it before Halloween.

The first to hit the scene in 2016 was released for St. Patrick's Day! It was a parody of "O Danny Boy" and I call it, "O Zombie Boy" (The location was a ruin I visited in Ireland back in 2014 and the scenes were all from pictures I took while I was there)

The next was a trip to an abandoned mortuary by Sindy and the gang who once again parodied Billy Joel. This time it was "Uptown Girl", but we called it "Un-Dead Girl"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWH5P9mUUKc

The latest (so far) is a parody of another classic oldie but goodie, "Splish Splash, I was Takin' a Bath". We sing, "Slit Slash, It Became a Bloodbath!" It's song about getting together for movie night and watching classic slasher flicks. Had a lot of fun with this one!

Hope you enjoy these this early in the season! I'll post more as they are completed. Thanks to everyone for all the great comments. I appreciate it.

Do you consider yourself a roadie or a groupie?

Roadie or Groupie? I guess both. These guys don't carry their own stuff around, so I have to do it. I have to be a groupie, because I like everything they do. Of course, they can only do what I want them to, so I guess that is to be expected.

Can't wait to see how you look in the new jersey.
