look not one grey hair...haha...
now seems we all have more grey then anything else...
i have been very lucky to have teamed up with such a great crew

Romo is one of my best friends and one of a kind...
he has helped shape the dead Acres into what it is today

Awesome! This is a great thread!

thank you Eric...its been a great ride...
my gramps got me into all this...he was doing a haunted hayride here on our farm since 53,
they did all the old horror at the time..wolfman...creature from the black lagoon..frankenstein etc..
my grandfather rode a horse as the headless horseman...
now a member of city council and the clerk both had come to our farm to enjoy the haunted hayrides as kids...
soo for me its a family tradition

i was talking to one of the grandkids of Dave Grim one of my gramps friends and partner..
and they were just tellin me that they still have an original horse hair wolfman costume that my gramp and his grandfather had made back in the fifties...
he lives around here but the costume is in Missouri at one of uncles...i think Dave Grim had 12 kids....crazy...
but there's a high price auction piece ....

soo anyways when i took over this biz we started off with a bang making things
like it had been bottled up just waiting to get out...
apparently things that had never been done before
soo while i am still around in this biz i figured i would show this community a lil haunted history...

i wish we had some kinda haunted historian on here who could enlighten us
when i did a lil research i cant find anything before distortions electric chair...
and we were doing things that just plain blew that kinda thing away.....

i remember the same year we made our first kicking body for a hanging scene..
Dale Feazel had the idea and Mike Lucas who was working on airplanes, had the technology..
we made a steal armature that just hinged at the waist and the knees...one actuator for the waist and the knees just freely swinging...
we put a hood over his head and gloves on his hands and when he worked it just made us laugh at how unbelievably real it looked...
people who would come thru never guessed he was an animation...
they would say ...i dont know how much you pay that guy but its not enough....

man those were the best of times....
