In The Haunted House

August 2nd, 2010 by John Wolfe

While you won’t ever see me placing cutesy things in my yard haunt on Halloween night, I have to admit that I’ll totally entertain campy Halloween stuff for my own viewing pleasure (even if it’s intended for children ). :)

In The Haunted House is one of those cutesy things that tickle my fancy. These types of stories take me all the way back to Halloweens of my childhood, back to when the obsession with October 31st first began to take hold. Though In The Haunted House wasn’t around when I was a boy, if it weren’t for books like it, my Halloween imagination never would have been quite as overactive as it is today!

Okay, enough cute stuff. Now I’m off to rip, shred and tear the Angel of Death’s skin for a bit. He’s just starting to take on that sinewy look I love to see in my props.

Halloween Duct Tape Book

December 8th, 2008 by John Wolfe

Halloween just wouldn’t feel right if it weren’t for duct tape. It’s a home haunter’s best friend. After all, you guys have watched the Halloween Haunter’s Reality video in which I’m playing “arm bone’s connected to the shoulder bone” routine. So much of that wouldn’t be possible without the use of duct tape. Until tonight, however, I never realized there was a book dedicated to the gray sticky stuffs use during the Halloween season. The Original Duct Tape Halloween Book features idea after idea for duct tape inspired costumes, and Halloween decor.

While I don’t think this book will reinvent the wheel for dyed in the wool home haunters, nevertheless, the ideas sound pretty intriguing, especially for last minute Halloween decorators.

Big thanks to Uncrate.com for turning me on to The Original Duct tape Halloween Book.
