Of rethinking static props and childhood memories

I love how these are playing the roles of static props, instead of the classic plastic skull sitting on the ground... very artistic

Beautiful bird, that reminded me of something: When I was a child living in our small apartment on Cheyenne, my mother always put black poster board cutouts of a graveyard scene and a witch over the moon in a small window in the Dining room that faced out to the trick or treaters. My mother cut them by hand and they still exist, as we get closer to the holiday, I'll most likely get a photograph and post it here.

Another photograph that sends me to my childhood memories: this record was played by my mother every year on Halloween, and many other days beside by me, since my mother kept it among her record collection all year long.

I LOVE the paper mache skull and its hot pink and black paint job.

The bat rope poles of the The Haunted Mansion, the ride that is the inspiration for almost everything I do.
