Halloween Haunt and props The Electric Chair

Wow, I've been so busy and have definatly neglected the Blog. I've turned the yard and outside part of the house into a haunted nightmare every year so i have most of what I need for that already and have a pretty good idea how I'm going to set it up, so i've spent the majority of my time planning and preping for the haunted house in the garage. The Electric Chair room is almost complete and as soon as it is done I'll post pictures. I've got the motorized part working and all thats left is to adjust the linkage a bit. I've got the sound, shaking and strobe light all working together. I have the body in place but still need to work a little on filling the body out a little. I've still gopt a bit of work to do on the set, but I have pretty much everything I'm going to need, I just have to find more time in the day. I'm debating if I should paint the walls black.

I'm also having a real hard time focusing on one room and tent to jump from one idea and one room to another.
I have decided the general theme for my haunted garage will be "Clowns Gone Bad"
When visitors first enter there will be a small room with an antique doctor-dentist chair reclined with a body being worked on by a clown doctor. And yes I've started woking on this room, but I'll talk more abount this room and post pictures after I finish the electric chair room.
There will be two additional rooms and a spider infested hallway also but we'll get into that later.

I've also made a few large size tombstones. In the past I've purchesed all my tombstones but for the size i wanted to add this year I either couldn't find them or the ran 300.00 plus for each tombstone. I'll post some picturesof them. I pretty happy with the way they turned out, but the next batch will be much better and more professional. These were done more as a test and to get some practice. The best part is each one cost a from 3.00 to 22.00.

Oh yae, I'm also have all the parts and am in the process of putting together a 55 gal. drum of toxic waste that will have a disfigured clown pop out and another drum that will have a clown turning side to side.
