Transworld 2013 ( Post 11 3/15/13)

 

Welcome Haunters to another Yard of Terror Blog! As many of you know Transworld was last week so I have lots to tell and show you all! I didn't post a blog last week due to being at the show. I have to say the show ROCKED!!! I had a blast with everyone that went with our crew. Can't wait till next year!

This was my first time at Transworld and I was like a kid lost in a candy store! Oooo look at this, ooo look at that, lol that what I was saying the whole time while on the showroom floor. It was truely a haunters dream come true! There was so much to see from props to masks to awesome makeup ideas and more!

I did get some great ideas for the Yard of Terror as well! Going to Transworld got me ready to start planning for this years haunt! Once the weather starts getting warmer the building will begin! Be on the look for some ideas for this years haunt to start popping up.

Another awesome thing that happened while at Transworld was that most of the famous people that were at the show were staying in our hotel! I got to meet a few stars from FaceOff, they included Glen Hetrick, House, Anthony from this season, Beki Ingram, Ian Cromer, and Roy Wooley. I was also able to meet the guys from Distortions. I even seen Gunner Hansen walking around our hotel! I just thought it was crazy how all the famous people were partying in our hotel!

There were endless isles of things to see, almost too much stuff that it would take a day to tell someone everything we saw. That's where pictures come in to play...lol Over the next few blog posts I will start posting pictures from the show to give everyone a peak at what all was at Transworld 2013, I may even throw in a video or two.

 

Well Haunters untill next time Happy Haunting and Keep it Spooky! Hope everyone enjoys the video and pictures I have provided! There are many more to come so stay tuned!

Sinister Movie Review (Post 10 3/3/13)

Welcome Haunters to another Yard of Terror weekend Blog! Hope everyone had a good weekend so far, and has stayed inside from this everlasting cold weather! On this weeks blog I will be reviewing the movie Sinister.

I have to start off by saying that I would have to give this movie 4/5 stars. The movie seemed to be an ok movie. There wasn't a lot of scare factor in the movie, it seemed to be more a mystery thriller to me. There were parts that would startle the audience but as far as major scares, they just weren't in this movie. The story line is pretty crazy though. Have to give the movie two thumbs up for representing Kentucky in the movie "Kentucky Blood" book...you have to watch the movie to understand it...I don't want to give to much of the movie away for those who haven't watched it.

Well haunters only 5 more days till Yard of Terror is off to Transworld! Be on the look out for a Transworld blog post either the weekend I go "March 8th - 10th" or the weekend after. I am sure I will have lots of photos and possibly videos to share with everyone on my return home from the showroom floor. I will also be seeing the sights of St.Louis as well.

Well Haunters it's time to say goodbye for now...Happy Haunting and Keep it Spooky!

Room Design for 2013 Revealed! (Post 9 2/24/13)

Welcome Haunters to another Yard of Terror Blog. Sorry once again for posting the Blog late again. The weeks have been very long here lately. As many of you have read the Blog title, and have seen the picture above i have went ahead and released one of my room designs for the 2013 season!

The Butcher Shop will return for the 2013 season but will be bloodier than ever! For 2013 I plan to give the butcher shop it's very own walk through room, where over the past few seasons it has just been displayed on my porch.

In the past I have played the Butcher, I may play that character again this year, but I have not decided. The Butcher Shop room has to be one of my favorite areas to build! I can't wait to design a whole room design this year for the crazy Butcher!

Be on the look out for more room designs to be reveled over the next seven months as we get closer to Halloween night! Building has not yet begun as the weather has not been warm enough to be out side, but once Spring rolls around the building shall begin.

Till next time Haunters, Happy Haunting and Keep it Spooky!

Haunt Design Kit (Post 8 2/16/13)

Welcome Haunters to another Yard of Terror Blog, sorry for posting this a day late, this week has been a very very long week, heck we even had a holiday. Happy late Valentine's Day everyone! Hope everyone had a good week and a great Valentine's Day.

I bet your wondering what the picture I postd above is, well last night I was on Facebook and on the side of the screen I came across a small icon that read "Haunt Design Kit", I was curious so I clicked on it and came upon this website:  http://www.hauntdesignkit.com/# What I descovered was pretty cool! This website allows you to download certain items to build your haunt in a 3D model in Google Sketch Up.

I plan on using this site since I already have Google Sketch Up on my computer, I rarely use it but I have it so why not put it to use. Below I have posted a picture of just a few of the items that you can  download from the Haunt Design Kit website to design your 3D model:

 

This website software will help me out a lot when planning the Yard of Terror this year. Like I keep mentioning I will soon post my plans for the 2013 season soon so keep your eyes open. Well my fellow haunters I hope that you check out the really awesome website that I posted in this Blog this week, and can't wait to start using it myself.

 

Till next time Happy haunting and Keep it Spooky!
