Laser Vortex Finished

Today I finished my laser vortex. Much thanks to Garage of Evil and Instructables. I kind of combined the two designs into my own.  I had the hardest time mounting the motor to the beer bottle cap. I got cheap and didn’t want to deal with shipping costs from two different sources so I bought [...]

Fun Techie Tombstone Epitah

Picked this up at Stop-n-Shop over the weekend, they were putting their Halloween stuff out. The last name is misspelled for legal reasons but we all know who it’s talking about.

Ella Updates Completed

Over the weekend I completed the new aluminum crank frame that is properly sized. The design is based on the Phantasmechanics design. I also touched up the cheezecloth layout and I must say I’m pretty happy with the final results.

Character Sketch: Zann

Today while out at lunch I completed another character sketch (one more to go of the planned character additions and changes). This one is a character known only as Zann (so named after Lovecraft’s Erich Zann).

I’m not a great artist and they aren’t the best scans (yeah I’m the fool who sketched on a ruled pad – [...]

I gave her a foam skull and a plastic prop eye to start with and let her play around with [...]

Webcam Pilot Bumpy But Successful

For those who didn’t tune in last night we ran a pilot of the lab cam. Had a handful of viewers who were mostly from Haunt Forum mixed in with some friends and peeps from Twitter. The response was pretty good and I had a lot of fun just being me.
I’d like to give a [...]

The Laboratory Is Set To Open

Greetings everyone. Pretty much wrapped up the basement to a satisfactory degree where work can commence on props. The lab computer is fired up and the webcam is installed (The Lab Cam from the main menu to the right) and ready to rock and roll.

Basement Lab – Coming Along

The basement area I’ll be working in this year is mostly organized the way I want it. I’m actually comfortable enough with it to share some early pics. As you can see, Joe is on the table and in position for cosmetic surgery. I need to hook up my old monitor (the thing is a [...]
