I have finally chosen my Halloween costume! Back in late August I finally decided on one and ordered it. Buycomstumes is pretty good about delivery I have already gotten it in the mail. Ya Ready??.........
Here was my choice!
BETTIE PAGE - DON'T TREAD ON ME
I love it and it looks hot on me! The only thing though the horns that came with it did not look like the ones in the pic they are kind of cheap-looking. So I am just gonna pick me up some awesome ones at the Spirit store when I take my anual visit there soon. Also need some red gloves and thigh high red fishnets. Its gonna look awesome!.
I had to get the wig that went with it too because my hair is kind of short and looks nowhere near Bettie Page's hair.
Welp got my costume. I am looking very very forward to this Halloween its gonna be a blast!
Mood -  Relaxed

Thursday, August 16 - What am I gonna be this Halloween?
Posted by CreepyKitty
Its mid-August!! That means its time for me to start thinking about what I am going to be for Halloween this year.
I have put together a few choices with a few pics and explanations of what I am going to do to see if it will work or not. I had originally choose to be some type of fairy, but I am sure each one of these costumes can be modified to be a fairy of some sort.
Tea Party Hostess
 Alice in Wonderland is one of my fav things. I thought this was so awesomely cute as it is hard to actually find a Mad Hatter costume for a girl, let alone a cute one! But with that insanely short skirt I am gonna have to get some good knickers to wear under it!
FairyLicious Fallen Angel
I loved the Black and White of this costume. But unfortunely, I do not love the wings that come with this one, I would have to change that out with some goth ones that looked pretty decent. Those look like they could get torn up in a new york minute!
RIPunzel
I really really liked this one, you can have so many possibilities with it instead of its original purpose, which I do like too, but I could make this an awesome fairy costume with some gothy wings, or even a really cool witch costume!
Bettie Page - Don't Tread On Me
By far this is my fav out of all the ones I picked, just because I LOVE Bettie Page, I would leave this one intact and change the boots to knee-high red boots, try to get as close as I can to the original image of Ms. Page as she looked in that awesome photo!
That about narrows it down to what I had in mind. Of the best costumes I think I could pick out off the net. I might go by my local Spirit Halloween store to see if they have any of these in stock that I can actually wear but I highly doubt it. They didn't last year and I had a HARD time picking out what I wanted to be. =/ My costume kind of ended up being less than what I expected but I tried to make the most out of it.
Whatever I decide to pick, will be lots and lots of accessories to come with it. ;) Those will be posted later!
Just so you all know feedback/Opinions are welcomed!!

- Impressed

Sunday, August 5 - Halloween Dreams
Posted by CreepyKitty
I had my first Halloween dream of the season last night. It was borderlining on a nightmare though because I was at a costume shop with my mom and some other friends (some of those Unknown dream friends that I can't recognize for some reason), and the place was PACKED and I was trying to put together a really cool costume and I couldn't find what I needed (kind of like my RL situation..lol). But all I really can make out of the dream is that I was trying to find a cute fairy costume and nothing seemed to work out right and my mom kept yelling at me and telling me we had to go.  Hopefully that won't happen to me when I do decide to go Costume shopping this year!!
I finally saw some Halloween stuff out around here!! It was at The Cracker Barrel and not too far from where I live, they had a Halloween display starting out with all kinds of really awesome stuff!! Can't wait to see other stores sprining into the spirit around here! But I will definately keep everyone updated on the stores and also where on Hwy 280 Spirit Halloween will be located this time. I think last year it was in an old Grocery Store building at the shopping center where Replays was.
Happy Haunting! Halloween is a coming!
Mood:  - Happy

10/18/2006 - Breath of life
Posted by Deathtouch
Well, things a little bit better than before. I moved into a house in St. Charles, Illinios and the landlord was kind enough to let me bring some groundbreakers and put them in his yard. So Halloween won't be the same but at least it isn't a lost cause. I have few picutres below. So I am still fighting to stay alive. I know I said in the last blog that it was my last but hopfully I can continue.
I had a gentleman from the local paper contact me about my haunt. Of course this year is shot to hell, but maybe next year. The wife had told me that she is hopfully that I will be coming home by next Halloween. It all depends on us and if we can work things out. I hope so. So I guess I will cross my fingers for next Halloween then.

Monday, October 2 - Here Comes Halloween!
Posted by CreepyKitty
Weeee!!! Its finally October!! Smell that autumn in the air!! I am all excited about Halloween this year!! Well... I am every year. But I actually have time to sit back and enjoy this Halloween.
The other day I decorated the inside of the house (wow I have a lot of decorations!). And personally I think it looks really good. But you know with a true Halloween fanatic you can never have enough Halloween decorations to put in or outside of your house. I am planning on decorating the front yard today. I am minus my awesome scarecrow this year becuase it was on loan from my mom and she is using it this time. LOL. But if I can I am gonna swing by Big Lots later on this week and see if I can't find a really nice bigger Halloween decoration to put out there that matches my decoration theme (pumpkins, black cats, and ghosts.)
Also this year I plan on getting a nice sized pumpkin to actually carve for the big night. Last year I had a real pumpkin and I just kind of sat it out by the scarecrow and didn't carve it or anything. I also am having a hard time finding my Pumpkin carving kit, I think we lost it in the move, so they are cheap I will just get another one next time I go to Wal-Mart.
Yay my birthday is coming up soon, I will be 25 and still rockin my Halloween style. We have been a bit low on money this year so the hubby offered to get me a Halloween costume as a Bday present. So he told me to go to the Spirit store and look around and see what all I liked. I haven't really quite decided what I am gonna be this year yet or not. I will have to see what costume looks best on me. I was thinking something witchy or something Egyptian. But it all depends on whether or not my boobs fit into one of those costumes meant for ladies who are not that well endowed. LOL.
But anyway, I am gonna start decorating the outside of the house and hopefully make it look as awesome as it did last year! Looks like Halloween this year is gonna be a total blast!
Mood:  - Excited

9/13/2006 - Last blog entry
Posted by Deathtouch
It looks like this will be my last entry at blogcrypt. The wife and I have decided to get a divorce after 5 years. That means no more Halloween prop making for me. I will miss writing in my blog; it was something I truly loved to do. I will miss my dogs and the fun times I had. Thank you everyone for all the kind comments over the years. I will treasure it always. My props were left back at ex-wife’s house. Maybe she will get into Halloween without me. LOL.

9/12/2006 - TV Show confirmed
Posted by Deathtouch
I got an email back from the rep from HGTV and it looks legit. I also contacted WormyT, who has done this sort of thing before and showed her the letter. She tells me this is the same way she was contacted and that it is legit. So in the next email that the rep from HGTV sent me, she needed some information about my house, me, and my haunt. I wasn't to sure about the sq. feet of the house, so I put on N/A on that. My wife who has lived in this house all her life even doesn't know the sq feet. So I sent her a recent picture of me,which was taken by WormyT by the way. Also a picture of the witch that I am making for this year. There is a chance that I might not get on the program, but also a chance that I might. Gotta cross those fingers. I took the day off to clean up the house a little. Just in case I get picked. If I don't get picked, there is always next year or the Christmas program. LOL. I have a lot of people cheering me on at hauntforum.com so I hope I don't let them down.

9/8/2006 - DT on TV
Posted by Deathtouch
I have bit of some news today. I don’t know how legit this is, but I got an email from a lady representing HGTV that wanted to come to my home and film my haunt this year. Like I said, I am not sure if this isn’t just spam but I thought I would reply. You just never know now a days if people are pulling pranks. She goes on saying that HGTV is producing a new show this year called "What's With That Really Haunted Halloween House?" with host George Grey. It is a spin off “What’s With That House?” So, I thought I would contact her and see what is up. I will keep you informed if anything plausible happens. It might be kind of cool if it is.
George Grey

9/6/2006 - Witch is getting there
Posted by Deathtouch
Since I had time this weekend to work on the witch, I drape the cloth on her, just to see what it might look like. Also messed with the motors to see if there would be any problems. Of course the hood doesn't want to stay on. I might have to do something different like attach it to the head in some way or form. The face is still under work. My wife still has to fix the face and then she will apply latex. I need to do something different to her cloths, but what? Maybe muck it up a bit. So, here is a picture of the witch as of last weekend. I can't wait to put this out. I have already had people driving by with big smiles on their faces. So, I think the witch is starting to shape up a bit. As you can see, I took this picture after a rain storm, so the witch looks like a wet puppy. I had her hair dropped over her face. Now it is just stuck to her face. LOL.

9/5/2006 - FINALLY!!!
Posted by Headless Horseman
As of yesterday I actually got started on this years Halloween projects!! I know, I know too little too late probaly but I feel good about it...lol!
We went to got the wood we needed to get our new castle walls built, and built 5 out of the 9 we need already! Not a cool new prop or anything like that but it's a start and that's all that matters at this point! We got the fabric to do up our wolves too, doing the animated reindeer conversion to a sitting howling wolf, should look pretty cool when done. Then I have to get moving on the pirate ship, UFO and dragon...Only a month to go I can do it.....

I just about got my groundbreakers done. I only made three this year. Still have the 5 from last, so that makes 8. The witch is almost done, just need a few finishing touches. Maybe if you are good I will provide pictures. LOL. Here is a picture of my groundbreakers. The guy on the right still needs some work, but almost there.

Wednesday, August 30 - Halloween Magazines!
Posted by CreepyKitty
Oooh I got me a BuyCostumes Magazine today with coupons for the site in it!!! That makes me very happy. Not sure if I am gonna use them though I will have to see what I really want to be for Halloween this time. I am just having the hardest time deciding what I want to be. I have several ideas but so far can't put my finger one a good one yet.
Man last year I think I got 7 craft magazines before Halloween including the Martha Steward Halloween Edition. Which had some awesome stuff in it. I have already gotten my first Halloween Magazine of the year when I was in the checkout line at the grocery store. Its called Halloween: Food, Fun, And Crafts, and it has got some really good stuff in it that I am planning on using for this Halloween. I can't wait it should be fun.

8/28/2006 - Panic sticken days
Posted by Deathtouch
This weekend wasn't as prosperous as I had hoped. It rained all weekend and we had family issues that needed fixing, so that kind of killed the weekend work. I did find some cloths for the witch and I worked on some more radio voiceovers for my Halloween radio, and I have another ground breaker that I am working on. Here is the latest picture of him. I call him Herb. My wife is going to kill me for getting glue on the table, but I bought another one so it should be good. LOL.

8/22/2006 - Trouble with light controller
Posted by Deathtouch
Well, I had a little trouble with the light controller. I found out just a little too late that when you are writing macro and don't include delays then the controller will continue to run the program but won't allow you to update the program. Which really sucks. So I had to break out another controller that I had, and download the program to it. This time I put delays in it. It worked ok. Needs a little work on some of the fade ins but I think I will get it work. The other control will have to be sent back to be reprogrammed there. Here is a short video on my progress on the lights for the witch.

Monday, August 21 - First Halloween Shopping Day of the Year!
Posted by CreepyKitty
*inhales* Ahhhh, feels good to finally go in stores and see Halloween stuff out on the shelves! It is approaching and I can't wait! My mom and I just had a shopping day and I got me a cute little light up pumpkin stack from the Cracker Barrel of all places. They have some good stuff! Went to Michaels and saw lots of stuff I wanted, but I am going to be sparse until a bit later on becuase the stores have yet to put out the REALLY good stuff. 
My birthday is coming up soon, and my mom was originally taking me shopping today to look for a new sofa becuase that is what she is getting me. Don't laugh, I NEED it. Our poor old Sofa just looks totally tragic. IMO I thought it had about another year left anway. And it doesn't really match at all its black leather and the living room doesn't have anything black in it at all. LOL so its time for the Apartment furniture to leave!

8/21/2006 - Another busy weekend
Posted by Deathtouch
It was another busy weekend. While I was waiting for my power cord for my transmitter, I was messing around with some audio tracks that I was going to use to broadcast as a station id. I am getting help from a professional who does this for Christmas broadcasts, so yes it will cost me a little bit of cast. But not much. This is his first attempt at Halloween, but he is doing a fine job. I got the first one this past week and was adding different effects on it, just to see what it would sound like. Here is a same of a station ID that I was messing with. The music is from Virgil’s CD.
www.deathtouchhorrors.com/Welcome2.mp3
As you can see by the picture below, it was a really busy week. I started working on my Pumpkinrot scarecrow, I got the witch’s hands done; along with part of the body, the motor was modified a little due to mechanical problems, testing my light controller with the cauldron’s lights, making sure the ladle doesn’t hit the witch in the head, and I got done with a corpse seen in the picture below

8/14/2006 - And then there was more work.
Posted by Deathtouch
So today I got an email that the Transmitter has been shipped. I am trying to add a few plug-INS to Winamp so it will act like a DJ. Then I can throw a whole bunch of songs in Winamp and let it be my Halloween Disc Jockey. It should be cool if I can get it to work. If not, back to my wireless speaker, which I normally sit out in the yard.
I also started construction of my Pumpkinrot scarecrow. I bought some wood and I built the stem on the head yesterday. Still needs painting. But I am hoping to get this project done soon.
Starting on Friday I started construction of my witch for the cauldron. Also bought some amber lights from Romans; they now have their Halloween and Christmas stuff up. So far, I have the main frame up and the motor is part-way working. It still needs a little more. My wife even pitched in and helped with the Witch’s face. She found my stash of clay and went to work on her. She really looks cool the way she has the face. Sorry, no pictures. I was so busy this weekend I didn’t have time to take any.

8/11/2006 - My Halloween Radio
Posted by Deathtouch
A few years ago I had a Transmitter from Ramsey that would broadcast my Halloween music for people to hear when they were looking at my display. Well my dog kind of made it not work any more. If you know what I mean. I was trying to save up to buy another one but it doesn't look like it is going to work out. So I did the best next thing. I bought a Belkin TuneCast II Transmitter. Now you are thinking that there is no way this tunecast is going to reach out that far, so the passer bys can listen. Well, that is true if I didn't modify it to work. There is a hack for the Tunecast that will allow it to broadcast 300-500 feet. I have a couple of friends who did the same thing and it worked great. So, now I am going to do the same. It will be cool to be able to have the radio station again.
