Ben, totally awesome!!! Great design!. Now will you still be needing that swamp creature mask? I could take that off of your hands.

Wow! Thanks for all the kind words! I am not the artist here just the guy with the goofy grin and the cool contacts. The costume was created by Bill Johnson, who is right now very busy working on THE WALKING DEAD by AMC with the KNB effects crew and many of our actors and staff. Other interesting trivia, the throne was from WCW Halloween Havoc many years ago, we picked it up from TBS and fixed it up a bit.

The costume is latex and foam, the mask being foam like many our older Icons like the Collector and the Harvestman. In recent years we have done many of our icons in Silicone, but we thought foam would be better for this application, and man it is not as hot that is for sure!
Our Downstairs character is silicone and will have a costume of rotocast plastic, pretty cool and unusual, as will another of our upstairs creatures, the Infernal Contraption.

We should have quite an army of new fiends this year, and a ton of other crazy suprises. Of course we are in the middle of everything, but when I get some finished stuff to show we will roll it out here.

Thanks!

Here are a few more fun pictures...

This is the heart room where the walls would reach out to engulf you...

This is the Arch Maze, one of our Mirror scenes. We have expanded the effect quite a bit from last year, but this is a shot from last season...

This is our Spider Cave.. The Custom Spider is big, I think his abdomen is about a 3 foot width. This is getting an extensive enhancement..

This was a Battle Scene last year between our T-Rex and our Mega Mouth Puppet. You would walk between them. This scene is totally gone, the creatures have been put into new homes. the SF T-Rex had been extremely modififed motion wise and will come out from a very (hopefully) effective and unexpeceted area to scare folks.

That gargoyle is downright terrifying! Amazing stuff!

Love those room designs, too - that heart room looks like it's definitely something to be experienced!
