13 days to go!

Our entrance and butcher shop are UP! The outside of the entrance just needs to be painted (should take no longer than an hour) and the rest can't be completed until the final weekend.

I just found out my cousin Brianna might be flying down just for Halloween weekend (Friday - Sunday or Monday) so I'm super excited about that! Plus, I have an extra, much needed haunter! :)

This week we're transforming our ACTUAL house for our first Halloween party since Colombia. And once that's done being decorated, we'll switch back to decorating the haunted house. This upcoming weekend, we'll have to finish details and lighting.

We're getting there. Rolling right along! I'll take some clear pictures today and post them up whenever I remember haha.

Still needed: STUFFED ANIMALS!

DESPERATE CALL!!!

I've been posting on facebook for a week, asking everyone I come across, and I know a few other people read this. PLEASE HELP!!! We need an artist by TOMORROW!!! NO LATER!!! Someone who can draw, paint, and/or airbrush or graffiti. We have a project that needs to be completed NO LATER THAN TOMORROW and it's almost done. It just needs a little artistic flair. PLEASE HELP! If we don't have someone by tomorrow, I'm SO screwed! Please ask around and contact me ASAP! Thank you!

19 Days to go!

We're getting there! We're a good 70% done! And by the end of this weekend, we should be at about 90% completion. So exciting!

First off, thanks Dad for all your help and getting new props for us, Dennis for the wood, Diane for searching for everything she can dig up in her house, Kathy for putting us in the community newsletter, Leo for helping this weekend, and Terrance for all his endless hours of dedication for the past 3 years... no matter how many headaches I cause him! With everyones help, we're ahead of schedule this year.

Just to let everyone know, this year we will be accepting donations for the kids of Space Coast Rock-It Softball. Come out and support!

Halloween Horror Nights was GREAT this year. We had a lot of fun, and the speed pass is the greatest thing ever created. I'll write a detailed review like I did for Howl-O-Scream, as time allows.

Today, I'll have to start getting 2 of our props ready for decoration tomorrow. Final peices are all going up this Saturday so everything needs to be done!

This weeks wish list item:
OLD STUFFED ANIMALS!


Thats all I can think of for now! Till next time...

Outside decorations are up!

We did 90% of our outside decorations yesterday. We just need the movie screen and the skulls that we usually have lining the driveway. I need a big prop on that side without blocking the screen. Still deciding what to do. Cemetery is complete and bigger than ever. It took us a good hour to figure out the boarded up windows (we forgot to number them last year). This upcoming weekend we'll do the entire structure of the haunted house (minus the parts that go outside) By the end up this upcoming weekend, we should be at 65 - 70% completion.

Thursday is Halloween Horror Nights, and then I'm granting myself a 4 day weekend, so a lot should get done.

I still need:
Red paint
White sheets
2x4's
