I am slowly emerging from my laboratory and am inspired to bring more unrest to the living snd certainly more life to the dead this Fall. I am making some major changes to the website and am starting to really ooooz (I mean drool) over this Halloween. What's in store can only be imagined in your nightmares, but unrest assured it will be horrible. <br /> I also want to report I have been to see all 999 Happy Haunts at The Haunted Mansion and the good news is that its still amazing after all these years.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm_m6tLB-PpK_IRiDubXvLor-Qe39etN9esFPgcRk3jUVhzM7ZsSN_uTr2F_UohJr4Vr_ji0wpPTpx6dKsd02l0hUg3bgmWhSeVt2waxXSEFk8zhZ5pXAzDgU2HDY60TCP8f8C7is-Cg8/s1600/IMG_1819.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm_m6tLB-PpK_IRiDubXvLor-Qe39etN9esFPgcRk3jUVhzM7ZsSN_uTr2F_UohJr4Vr_ji0wpPTpx6dKsd02l0hUg3bgmWhSeVt2waxXSEFk8zhZ5pXAzDgU2HDY60TCP8f8C7is-Cg8/s320/IMG_1819.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468390812931879474" /></a>DarKWolf ManoRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13919295309643461755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2791128728307648656.post-56940737731736269522009-11-22T23:34:00.000-08:002009-11-22T23:47:16.048-08:00Haunt 2008DarKWolf ManoRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13919295309643461755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2791128728307648656.post-23058899389349288342008-09-21T08:22:00.000-07:002008-09-21T09:39:58.982-07:00The Fright Stuff of Screams<span style="color:#ffffff;">I have an omnipresent need to create things for my haunt. creatures, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">gizmos</span></span>, sets, and all the tweaks my chaotic mind can conjure. Most of the props I use for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">DarKWolF</span></span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ManoR</span></span> are hand made. When I originally started making props (nearly ten years ago), I believed that if I made my own props I would save a lot of money. In retrospect I guess this could be true. . .sometimes. Most often the desire for "perfection" means that more money should be spent in order to acquire the materials that are needed to make a CREATION come to LIFE. The gratifying aspect is that these things are<span style="color:#ffffff;"> hand made. I can step back and realize that like Dr. Frankenstein before me, I have created something that will have a life of it's own.<br />To facilitate my constant need to create, God has <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">invented</span> the Home Improvement Store. 95% of <span style="color:#ffffff;">what makes my haunt work and keeps it working comes from Home Depot or Lowe's. I do get many specialty items from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Ebay</span></span> vendors and various other merchants.<br />There are however, a few <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">indispensable</span> items that I could never haunt without. Liquid Nails, bailing wire, drywall screws (in various lengths</span>), zip ties, spray paint, and extension cords, lots and</span> lots of extension cords. Without the prior items I would not have a haunt. It is a great thing to visualize something in the human mind, commit it to paper, obtain the supplies that are needed, begin the building process, and see the project come to fruition. </span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">It is said that the world is held together by duct tape.

That's all, a little place for my stuff. That's all I want, that's all you need in life, is a little place for your stuff, ya know? I can see it on your table, every body's got a little place for their stuff. This is my stuff, that's your stuff, that'll be his stuff over there. That's all you need in life, a little place for your stuff. That's all your house is: a place to keep your stuff. If you didn't have so much stuff, you wouldn't need a house. You could just walk around all the time. A house is just a pile of stuff with a cover on it."<br />While this is a humorous way of looking at the obviousness of it all there in lies the problem. As we acquire more props, and sets we quickly lose our "normal" homes to our haunt. In the span of several months prior to Halloween, I annually take all my patio furniture, my living room furnishings, and dining room furnishings to storage. My garage and all its contents go to storage as well. conversely, 90% of my haunt accoutrement's come out of storage and come to live with me for 5-6 months. Finding a place for my stuff and my haunt stuff is, at this point solved by renting a 10x20 storage garage, utilizing rafter space in the garage, using back side yard space, and a closet under my staircase. I won't see my leather couches again until Thanksgiving. </div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239102067854123474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI2H689pNUJwOOtL2dtEXlPWBpCza5wkBZpKCq-o3FQtcNlseorKQh1fL2jeetanD_U-m-KcdI9TKd-7zMgTzjxypQxvEsKopcY1lK30TZXkBy3fSML5eIGSFMu96eGaJpPl-NfukIhhQ/s320/skeletons-in-closet.png" border="0" />Hey, at least I admit that I have skeletons in my closet!<br /><br />Are you sure you want to be a home haunter?</div>DarKWolf ManoRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13919295309643461755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2791128728307648656.post-59519712039282658572008-08-26T00:22:00.000-07:002008-08-31T12:53:17.487-07:00Integrity, Dedication, and Commitment<span style="color:#ffffff;">In my world, when I say I'm going to do something, I do it.

Alot of projects are done with good intentions, but end up being put together by the seat of our pants.<br />Taking pictures is a great way to document how things are constructed and where they might be placed for future haunting endevours. Taking time, when sets are being struck and labeling the order things are placed, is a good way to save time and grief when setting it up again.</span><br /></span><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238548530934884610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgogKkB-TXULvMHDDWzVZ6VUh5r2xJdnzDschthwAycy-2Yy64VvyeNIer3gvvNCUMt743otNrOlfxAjtgXxdI6a5itKCBaU6IezgFs4Ryz4ZLLjf7gukPMwiDz8dFaUayI4vHUA86Ir9g/s320/tech.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div align="center"></div>DarKWolf ManoRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13919295309643461755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2791128728307648656.post-36202420287085980862008-08-25T09:28:00.000-07:002008-08-25T13:58:41.076-07:00Blackhawk Heli Encounter<span style="font-size:130%;color:#33cc00;"><strong>Captain's Blog, Scar Date </strong></span><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>10/9/2006</strong></span><br /></span><br /><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="font-family:arial;">I'm sure every home haunter has had experiences during set-up that might be considered "weird", "out of the realms of the norm"; after all what we are doing is just that. One afternoon redefined that feeling for me. It was Monday October 9, 2006. I was tweaking a set that I built in the backyard when I began to hear a large helicopter getting closer and closer to my neighborhood. When it sounded like the helicopter was just over my house, I came out of the set to find a Black Hawk helicopter was hovering only a few hundred feet above my backyard. I could see the faces of the crew. I waved once, flashed a peace sign, and went back to my business. The Black Hawk flew off shorty thereafter. I spoke with a few people about the experience and started to think that my haunt must be a concern when seen from the above. I am surrounded by military establishments and I could only imagine that with 30' of camouflage on one end of my set, and a mock corridor on the other, I probably looked like I had a SAM site on my property. </span><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><p><span style="color:#ffffff;"></span></span></p><p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238549532830121602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOUYgHBBiWpR1q_FcsTPivzBgby8wNpPyi7k-py3zI5__mOghdH88SrgAEoGSGhAe1fOh-VjxjCWMQ9GiDWmajMereRdoWUiENkzz2TupquaxC9S2LALARfzuhsRT1sfMUgMl2zj5_2XM/s320/black_hawk.jpg" border="0" /><br />It is funny, the itch to have a haunted house, and the constant need to scratch that proverbial itch. In doing so it is often easy to overlook what haunting might look like to the rest of the world.<br /><br />Anyway kiddies; you may get scared at DarKWolf Manor, but Homeland Security and the military are close by to keep you safe.</span> </span></p><p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238549884928972882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9QKYGmUupS8G-9fMEDUlqJRRjUzSsb13TB77lNc0RqEOv4O-k7NZDuC6IL9sV-2gOB_YDLGrCsiziqRWnL8jlDlmyA9C0dhyphenhyphenjqyGRR9lP27Bqln2ZA0hylBGO3VCsKZjld_Fz97qFzLw/s320/340x.jpg" border="0" /><br /></span></p>DarKWolf ManoRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13919295309643461755noreply@blogger.com0
