Does anyone know of a vendor who might sell artificial funeral wreaths?
I'm looking for something resembling black roses (or similar) and possibly >18" diameter.
I may soon have a need for a large...

Awesome! Congrats to you guys, Louis.
Remember...try to sleep when the baby sleeps!

Harry:
I agree that you can probably get out cheaper finding a local artist to paint from historical reference. But...if you're a purist, there's an old poster artist named Johnny Meah who...

Shawn,
The vendors I mentioned above are mainly for architectural vac form sheets, bricks, etc...
I certainly hope Matt didn't think I was telling you to buy books somewhere else! Buy from him. ...

Thanks for your thoughts guys!
The client did end up continuing to sell the glasses at an upcharge. The folks who purchased them say that it "made" the attraction, which is bittersweet because we...

I've had some decent results in light to medium-duty applications with a 3M product called Fastbond.
It can be rolled on and is water-based in case you don't like working with a solvent-based...

My 2 cents...
We used 2 bungee rigs this year with a good deal of success. My observation (and my experience may be different than others) is that the bungee is effective, but the placement and...

Spookhaven: If you haven't gotten in touch with anyone yet, send me an e-mail and I'll get you in touch with one of the scenic artists who worked on a 3D attraction for me this year.

Just wanted to send a BIG thanks out to Louis Brown and his crew at DarkWood Manor in Luray, VA. Earlier this week, I was fortunate enough to meet up with Louis, one of his actors; Mike and staff...

Hey Tim:
Thanks for the "shout out" , but I was just happy to see the idea come to life, so thanks to YOU!
Your pics really are great. I would LOVE to see the reactions on the faces of the poor...

Here 's the last batch. I'd love some feedback, good, bad or indifferent.
I hope you're all having a wonderful season and many thanks for checking out these pics!

Here are more photos. (Pay no attention to the massive amounts of erosion cloth flanking each side of the installed facade....it was NOT my idea!

Hi Everyone!
I am a little past due on this, but wanted to post a few pics of an Asylum facade that I designed, built, and painted for a local theme park.

The facade is roughly 25'-0" W x...

I agree with Ken, those things should do the trick.
Are you trying to make a nice, finished, glossy furniture piece or are you making a table with random spots of "wetness" to simulate puddles of...

I forgot to mention that I also agree with Nightmare Grant. The misters do seem to work well and may be the best alternative.

I know Oak Island sells them, but the only one I've actually ever...

Hey Nate!
It is very tough to use them effectively outside.
Several of the parks I've worked with use a "Diffusion" hazer like this one:

I have to agree with Barry on this.
Brian and Nick run a very comfortable class for folks of different skill levels.
When I participated in one of their 2-day workshops they would demonstrate an...

Perhaps you could cut the PVC where you want the saw to "cut",
then fill the ends with Bondo to make the 2 pieces solid where they connect,
then maybe add some velcro to hold the pieces together...

Hi Larry,
Great detailing!
This may be an odd request, but I'd love to see a shot upwards toward the ceiling to see how all of that hanging foliage is attached, etc.

Thanks!
Nick

Jeff,
How did you deal with the bubble residue on the floor?
I think the idea sounds great but would be concerned that guests may slip.
Was this ever a problem?

Thanks!
Nick

REDRUM,
One idea that I came up with that I'd love to see produced is a small "display" at the entrance of the haunt that resembles a "clown factory" or clown storage room.

Right over the...

I know that Brian at Evilusions will sell you a kit that does exactly what you're trying to do.
As shawnc mentioned, there is a thread outlining this but certainly give Brian a call.

Darkangel:
In my opinion, it is best to have some professional theatre carpenters work with you on your projects. This is not a slam to house trade carpenters, but I think you may see more...
