Great Irish Tales of Horror

I was surprised to find this book on a table we have at work where people commonly leave books for others when they are finished with them. It is usually full of romance novels or other books I wouldn't have any interest in. Needless to say, I grabbed it and brought it home. I have no idea if it is any good or not, hopefully the title isn't a disappointment.

The Watcher

Looking through some pictures tonight and came across this picture of "The Watcher". I think this was the first "real" Halloween prop I ever made a few years back. He was made from wood, burlap, chicken wire, monster mud, and an old mask. I usually put this guy in a dimly lit place where people have to walk right by him. In the dark it's hard to tell if it is a real person or not, and you are expecting him to grab you at any moment.

I should point out that I used the Home Haunter's Prop Building Handbook, from Terror Syndicate, while making this guy... Here's another picture of him in "action".

Nightmare at 20,000 Feet

Was sitting around thinking about one of my favorite episodes of The Twilight Zone today... this scared me so bad when I was a kid, and changed the way I felt about airplanes and windows for the rest of my life.
