Hey all,
I saw this yesterday and quite frankly, I am not surprised. I have been checking out all of the different changing portrait companies for a while now, trying to decide where I wanted to spend my money. Even though I am pretty young in my opinion it is very clear to me that Eddie is amazingly insecure and loves to throw pity parties when he portrays himself as the victim in order to gain sympathy from the consumers. I actually wrote him a letter recently making some inquiries, and when I started to ask some hard questions, he turned on me (a possible buyer) and was questioning me about "loyalty." You know, even though I am new to the whole haunt thing I can say with a certain amount of confidence that the other haunters don't want to deal with this kind of childish behavior, no matter who it comes from.
I noticed that he recently took some of his comments off of his homepage (probably because he saw this thread) but in his feedback section, he still has a lot of mean things to say about Norm at Haunted Portraits (which he calls "Worm" - Very Childish). However, I have had much better encounters with Norm and Tim (of the Ghoulish Gallery). I've actually e-mailed all three to figure out who I am going to buy from and the only person I have ever heard talk bad about his competition is Eddie.
All I can say is that he's made my decision about who I will ultimatly purchase my changing portraits from a lot easier. And I can tell you it absolutly, positivly will not be from Eddie Allen, Artist/Owner of Haunted Memories.com.
