I can only promise you 2.



I am the laziest blogger ever. It's ok because I am just using this free blog as a free webpage. I'm gaming the system. I'm stealing bread from Google's table and I am ok with that. I don't post very often. I don't think of this as a news site, but as a depository. A library of my How-To contributions to home haunting.

So let's just get right to it. Last year I promised all kinds of how-tos and I didn't deliver. I changed themes on my haunt and it took way more work than I estimated. I did get up two how-tos but so what? Who cares?

So. I am going to be frugal in my promises this year and say I only have two. Two how-tos. They have been filmed. One is 95% done and one needs editing and voiceovers. If I do three I'll feel awesome.

The first how-tos are both about mold making. One is pretty elaborate. So much so that instead of making it 20 pages long I am going to preface it with some mold making theory. Watch for these to start rolling out in the next day or so.

I'm decompressing from the National Haunters Convention right now. I'll see ya soon.

Sculpting the Dead Mouth

This is the second in a series of videos showing how I make my corpse heads. In this video I will focus on making the mouth of a dried out corpse. I used the same tools and material as the first video. If you need more details on tools, just go back and watch "Sculpting the Dead Eye". Hope you enjoy this one.

Sculpting the Dead Eye

This is the first in a series of videos showing how I make my corpse heads. Each video will focus on one small detail or aspect. This should make it easy to absorb the techniques more easily and keep the videos a lot shorter. I'll cover making undead lips, rotten ears, shriveled noses, and gross out skin, but the first one is sculpting the eye sockets of the dead.
