Halloween Night at Grim Hollow

Well, it rained. A lot. I guess it could have been worse though, we still had probably 200 kids or so. We had laughers and criers of all types, so I guess overall it was a good night. The one thing I'm worried about is the pictures I took. I haven't looked at them yet, and don't know if they are going to be good or not because of the amount of rain we were getting when I took them. I'm kind of scared to look right now. Worst case scenario, I do have some pictures I took back on the 22nd I could post, but the yard was set up differently than it was for Halloween night. I'll try to get some pics posted soon! Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!
This pretty much sums up how I feel right about now after being out in the rain all evening.

Update: My pictures turned out horrible, so tonight (Nov 1) is picture night. Usually I have everything put up by now, but everything is still in place. So it will be like Halloween night again at my house!

Grim's Relative Makes the Greenwich Time

Got an e-mail from someone who had built their own version of "Grim" this year saying that they had made the Greenwich Time.... Here's the picture of their prop, "Grum".

Congratulations, Jeffrey and Karen!

Here's the Story

Happy Halloween!

Go away rain! Here's a little Halloween fun for you...

Grimvisions Scarecrow

I have always liked the look of scarecrows with burlap covered heads. It was this scarecrow head, made by Grim of Grimvisions, that really gave me the urge to make one (or three) for myself.


See this and other wonderful props at the Grimvisions website.

Fork and Spoon Costume

Talk about embarrassing. I was forced to go buy these today as a favor to my mother-in-law, because they were sold out in her city.
All I know is that a fork or a spoon had better not show up at my house on Halloween.

I loved this graveyard picture. From one of my favorite yard haunts, ScareFX.
