My They Live t-shirt arrived from FRIGHT RAGS today:
There’s nothing finer than coming home from a hard day’s work and finding a kick-ass horror shirt waiting in your mailbox.
I took the above photo while wearing the shirt. I am also wearing it now.
Thanks to Pumpkinrot for letting me know this site existed. This will not be my last purchase. There’s a killer The Thing shirt that I have my eye on, too.
Finally got underway overhauling last year’s props to get ready for Halloween 2008.
Last year’s “The Lurker” got some new skin and a base coat of paint. I’m really happy with the old paper towels and Elmer’s glue trick. It creates some pretty life-like wrinkles and texture. It’s also very easy to work with.
My inspiration this year is Baba Yaga. I confess that I won’t be keeping entirely true to the stories. For example, I don’t intend to mount it on a giant mortar or build a little house with the legs of a chicken. My version will be more of a sinister, “What if she were real today?” sort of take on the legend.
Along with an identity change The Lurker will be getting a new body this year, too. Something a little more to scale. At least we’ll try to keep it under 12 feet this time around.
Oh, and she’ll have some…”friends”…with her, as well.
While I’m on the subject, I really need to come up with an excuse to mess around with some of that monster mud I’ve heard so much about. That stuff sounds like fun.
Hmmm…
