From: bobspong@webtv.net (Bob Spong) Date: Mon, 27 Sep 1999 03:51:47 -0400 (EDT) I had made an entire list of epitaphs, some of them icorporate the most common ones found at the Haunted Mansion, (Disney) I tried to make them as acceptable, and kept in mind the young eye's that may view them. I'll include them here, and everyone can use them as they like. Henry loved to play golf He didn't hear any thunder, But it was his last big putt that put him 6 feet under Fernando here was a good acrobat, til his high wire broke, now he's acro-flat Mario raced cars in a rush to be first But the last thing he got was a ride in a hearse Here lies a service man his name was Frank he go his discharge squashed by a tank Here is a gal her name is Hester worked at Lockeed as the bomb tester Here lies a woman her name was Niagra who's husband indulged in that stuff called viagra In memory of Owen who's shute didn't open The man who lies here had woked in construction it was riving & beer that brought his distruction (This particular epitaph was particularly hard to write, I wanted to split it between two headstones. I put in a -/- where the line picks up again on the second tombstone, you'll see why, enjoy!) The gates were down -/- the latches releases he thought he could pass -/- before the crossing it reaches he stepped on the gas -/- so his speed had increases but was hit by the train -/- now he rests in two pieces I did make all these up. I think everyone should be able to use them if they like. If anyone else has any that they would like to share, post them! You might get some compliments if you make them acceptable to the general public! Gol Luck!

I had some questions as to how the head was made. Was the head purchased as is? Was the head filled with foam and the neck area painted in red? Did I see this on a commercial website? Did I carve tombstones and use the expanding foam in an enclosed space with no ventilation and all of this is an hallucination? If you read the label of the 'Great Stuff', you will find that it has cyanate which is of course what the warden had dropped in the tank of water in the gas chamber......Ventilate!

Weinberg" Date: Mon, 27 Sep 1999 08:41:02 -0400 Here's what I did last year... it wasn't in my bathroom, but it was a bathroom motif. I had an old sink from my bathroom remodel of a few years ago, so I built a box to look like a cabinet, and cut a hole in the top for the sink to rest on. I extended the drain down, so it would reach inside a 5 gallon bucket I had under the sink. In the bucket I had a submersible pump that would feed the water right back up to the faucet via a garden hose and coupler. Oh yeah, did I mention that I used red and blue clothes dye to make it look like the sink was pouring blood? I also had a toilet positioned next to the sink and had a corpse sitting on the thrown with a magazine on his lap. It was pretty cool. Of course, if you do this, no one will be able to use the sink, and you risk staining your sink and counter, but since it was just spare parts for me, I didn't care about that. Happy Hauntings! JAW.

I have used the expanding foam before for making foam hands both the tapping kind for a seance and skeleton hands. The foam can be used with good results but it is quite brittle after some time; and will break if over handled. A wire through the fingers might be of aid keeping it together but I went for a latex skin this gives it more resilience and also as latex tends to shrink as it dries gives it a very real look. This morning I took a look at it and i have veins, ligaments (or should that be tendions?)finger prints and finger nails & a neat pale (bloodless) coloring. I used a flex wax mold made from my own hand and layered several brushed in layers of mask latex and then a layer of cheese cloth with more latex over that. then filled the mold with the minimal expanding foam of your choice. For attachment to a prop I believe I would go with pvc a little more durable than just a wire & also allows for detachment and reattachment for storage or changing hands. When I refine the process I will try to post directions but with halloween so close and frank in progress don't know when that will be. VvvvV Happy Howl-ing ~^^^~ John "Wolf" P.S. one tip that seems to help when using the expanding foams: A light mist of water in the mold and on any exposed foam seem to aids curing & getting the foam in the finger tips you might like to add some length to the application tube on the can of foam. I have one finger that didn't quite fill all the way giving it a crushed look.

Should I just shut up and try it? The foam will turn all gooey and not dry properly. It needs some air for proper expansion and drying. I have not tried spraying it into gloves specifically, but I have tried to put it into other plastic forms and it just doesn't work like you want it to.

Here are all the questions spinning around in my head: 1. Will the foam stick to the inside of the gloves? 2. If it does, should I use water or oil based lubricant to prep the gloves? 3. Should I put wires in each finger and form them prior to using the foam? 4. If I use the wire, will the foam stick to it and will the wire protrude out of the foam? 5. Should I just shut up and try it? Sue I probably shouldn't reply to this since I have no real answer for you. I would guess at least try to bend them to shape before adding foam. Don't want to deflate, crack, break, the fingers after foam has dried. My friend tried the foam in glove and she said even after days the foam did not completely dry - she had a skin on parts of her fingers with wet foam inside. She also said some spots had no foam so some of the fingers had no tips and the palms had holes in them from air bubbles.

Ok I went to my first Haunted House of the season here in TN The Haunted Prison and here are the notes I took ( and yes don't laugh i took notes) Sprinkler & Strobe Light Effect! If anyone say the movie Blade remember how in the first Warehouse Party scene they turned on the sprinkler and it rained blood but the cool effect was they sinked the camera shutter speed to a strobe light so the blood looked like it was just hanging in the air ....well they kind of did that at this haunted house the used a light mist and a strobe light and got a really cool freaky effect! It looked like water droplets were just suspended in the air. Gyrating Corpse Ok this was a cool prop! They had a half of a corpse hanging by his feet from the cealing with blood and guts hanging out. he was hinged in the waste under his pants with a spring ( OK! that sounds wierd i am talking about the man's spring) attached this made his body want to bend at the waste..but there was a huge meat hook conneted to his guts that that had a chain that ran to the floor the chain was connected to a motor with a cam type extention so that when the motor turned it made his body bend back and forth. Poka Dotted Room They had a room that was all black except for these poka dots that glowed neon under a black light so as you walk throught there were ppl dressed up in all black with black face covers and they had poka dots on them so they blended in perfect it was freaky as crap! Dead Body Room they had one whole room filled with smoke that had a bunch of bodies wrapted in plastic!hanging from the cealing It was really wierd you had to walk in between them all Thanks for all the great ideas you ppl share!

Was impossible to get any wire inside that didnt either: A) drift to the side of the hand or fingers, showing outside the foam afterwards B) make the glove bend so sharply that the foam didnt cure properly. However, without the wire the foam cured perfectly overnight and the glove just peeled off (these gloves have some sort of powder inside, I believe). Of course, the palm of the hand expanded much more than wanted. Imagine blowing up a hand shaped balloon--this is what I got. I carved mine down and they actually will be usable if I want hands that are placed flat on a surface, as if a person has placed them on a table and is leaning on his arms. Otherwise, I plan to do a little fooling around and carving--I imagine = with some creative carving, I can cut the fingers off and replace them in positions. Maybe use some putty, wax or something to make more natural joints.

Fro high volume fog machines, you will need two or more sections of the = fog cooler, also, be sure to place the fog machine about 6 to 8 inches (or as far back as you can from the first section of the cooler). This gives the hot fog more time to mix with room temperature air before entering the cooler. It makes a big difference. The same goes for any of the fog cooler designs. The Fog temperature is 190 degrees or more when it leaves the nozzle. Mixing that with 70 degree air initially drops the temperature in half. The cooler can then drop it another 20 degrees making it colder than the room air. As long as it is cooler than the room air, it will sink to the floor. Remember that with ice water, the coldest the coils can get is about 35 degrees, so if you want them cooler, you will need to add salt to the water, or dry ice and alcohol (I have not tried these). -Chuck- __________________________________________________________________________ Chuck Rice ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Hall: Fog Coolers From: Jim Kadel Date: Mon, 27 Sep 1999 13:22:13 -0400 I would suggest moving the nozzle of the fog machine about 12 to 15 inches back from the entrance to the cooler or hose to cooler. This so that the fog is cooled first by mixing with some air before it goes directly into the chiller. It may pre-cool the vapors to the point where the chiller can lower the temperature below ambient (which is what's needed :>) Jim =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D REF = =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D "Sandro-Yepes, Pol" wrote (snipped): -------------------------------------------------------- >I decided to cool the fog this year, I liked the design of the cooler = made with the copper tubing - >sorry I can't remember what site I pulled it from.

Here is a good article I found, that discusses the various types of U.V. light, lamps to produce them, and particularly points out the danger of long term or high intensity exposure to even "safe" UVA wavelengths. None of this would preclude normal haunt use of blacklights, but it would warn against using anything like a portable light to shine directly on someine's face... http://www.misty.com/~don/uvbulb.html Pop up one level from that URL, and you'll find a wealth of info about all sorts of lighting, from LEDs to blacklights, to strobes, by Don Klipstein.
