Wait, It's Almost April Already?

My, how quickly a month can pass by. It's been that long since we last posted, but it feels like only yesterday. Time to get caught up with everything going on around the Cemetery...

First up: it looks like Mrs. Highbury and I will be joining some of the other members of the GoE Northern Ohio Home Haunters group this weekend and heading down to Columbus for HorrorHound Weekend. We're pretty excited about this, because this is finally going to kick the 2012 haunt season into high gear. We've been slacking off in that department and we really need to get things moving...

I can't wait to finally meet Elvira, err, Casandra Peterson... Pam Grier, Norman Reedus, Adrienne Barbeau, Tyler Mane, Gunner Hansen, Danielle Harris, Marilyn Burns, Judith O'Dea, Rhyno (the old ECW wrestler), a bunch of people from the original Day Of The Dead and a slew of other horror actors, actresses and hosts slumming the convention circuit. I'll be sure to report back next week with a full report as well as a few autographs and photos.

And speaking of Norman Reedus (Darryl), did everyone catch the season finale of The Walking Dead last week?? Fantastic! Zombies, a shotgun with endless rounds and finally getting off the farm! What a great episode. Definitely sets up season 3 and I'm super excited that we only have to wait another incredibly long 7 months or so... Be sure to get a quick and concise review of season 2 at BuzzFeed's "Best Memes From Season 2 Of The Walking Dead." So true, so true...

Poor T-Dog... 




Next up is a quick logo thing I did for The Northern Ohio Home Haunters. This started after a FaceBook conversation about printing up shirts and patches for the 2012 season. My mind went racing and I came up with this:

Fun with grungy type and vector art skulls and zombies, all wrapped up in this wonderful state we call OHIO! I may decide to print a few up for the hell of it just to see how they look on a shirt and then I may decide to come up with some kind of contest and maybe give one or two away. For the hell of it.

And speaking of the Group, we have scheduled our next Make & Take for April 28th (I think?) where we are going to be building talking skulls. I'm not exactly sure of all the details yeat, but I'm exactly sure that I am REALLY excited to get this project going. I've already got everything planned out for this one and when all is said and done, it should be the new centerpiece of the Cemetery. Which means it will take the place of last year's centerpiece, which was an 8-foot-tall obelisk...

And finally, last month I posted a video by the metal band, Thor, which was titled, "The Worst Music Video Ever." Well, yes, the video was pretty ridiculous, but I couldn't stop listening to the song. I loved it. So I did a little digging on Thor and came upon this little nugget. Watch the video below and then ask yourself, "Might not this be the greatest band that nobody has ever really heard of?" The following video is entitled, "Thor Hot Water Bottle"...

That may be the greatest thing I've seen all day. Thor is awesome.

And if anyone is heading to HorrorHound on Saturday, look for us. We'll be the group of horror fans walking around, wearing black. Oh, wait...
