Every once and a while I'll post some of the more creative photos of props or costumes from our annual haunt or party. This prop was hanging in the entryway to our house for Halloween 2002.

We had a green rubber skull and stapled a white wig to it. It was then lit with a blacklight. For some reason, we thought it might look cool to put some flashing lights into the hair and the effect actually turned out pretty well.

Vile Things home haunt...

I use the internet to find inspiration in creating new props. Frequently I'll come across a site that I can get an idea or two from. Sometimes, I'll come across a site that makes me go Wow!!!

Vile Things is such a site. Although it doesn't appear to have been updated in while, this site has fantastic home built props. The site lists the different projects that have been built (up to 2006) and shows quite a bit of detail about the actual construction process for several of the props. Pics and videos of the props in action are also included. I particularly like the Bellicose prop and the Animated Obelisk.

Here is a link to show some detail on the construction for their home haunt in Halloween of 2006.

I hope to see them back in action this year.
