Warren asked Carter for help in completing his research, and Carter agreed to accompany him to an ancient graveyard. There they find a tomb sealed with an Elder Sign, and open it. Warren takes some field telephone gear and descends into the crypt, leaving Carter alone…Continue

Transworld St. Louis 2009... Will it be "the larry Show"?
It is the Transworld show. It is not "The Larry Show"
I personally do not know Larry K. but from what I gather, he is a bit of an eccentric genius in this field: my collective take on Larry is that He is extremely well connected, he’s controversial, he is a restless visionary with grand scale imagination, and yes, to some, he is a bit of a problem child. These are all characteristics of what make extraordinary A types extremely e… Continue
Hi ya' all from Austin, Texas.
Ok I'm not real Texan so I don't say ya'all very often but whatever. I just posted a bunch of pictures of some of my props that I've made recently. I have some pics to put up but I should really get to bed.
I really like this website alot because of the way it is layed out. I'm surprise there's not more members on here.

I've been informed that there is a rumor that the reason for my move to Mishawaka is that I/Sinister Visions has been hired full-time by Imagination Publications (owners of 13th Hour Magazine). This is not true.
Sinister Visions is doing some work for 13th Hour Magazine, and they happen to be based in Mishawaka. Apparently somebody just took their own assumptions as fact and started flapping their gums. Feel free to correct anybody you hear spreading this rumor, preferably with a flyswatter or,… Continue

I wanted to do something different this year and provide a more personal viewpoint of MHC ’08 than I have in the past.
Our weekend started on Wednesday when we checked into the hotel. Being back at the Hyatt Regency was very nice as we were already familiar with the facility. After a day of meetings with the hotel and the convention center we were off to dinner with a lot of the people already in for the convention. Twenty five of us enjoyed a great Italian dinner and had a good time talking ab… Continue
Fellow Haunters,
Many of you are true inspirations to me and have become good friends. I always share my experience and try to do my part to take haunting to a higher level.
I consulted many of you on the idea to bring high end costumes to the haunt industry this year. We have been a vendor at Transworld, HauntCon and MHC so far this year. Our goal was to sell enough costumes to employ our artists in the off season. We surpassed that goal before we left Vegas!
We have sold to Six Flags, zoos,… Continue

Oh give me a deer
Whom the buffalo fear
That breathes fire and can bite holes in cars
Who rips hunters to shreds
And collects all their heads
Whose genetics are straight from the stars
Deer, mutated deer
They're the bane of all hunters at large
They'll tip over your truck
And you're flat out of luck
You'll be turned to terrestrial snarge Continue
