2015 Halloween Haunt Calendar

I finally picked up Hector Turner's 2015 Halloween Haunt Calendar, and he has really outdone himself again! Late last year, I submitted photos from my yard haunt, and for the second year in a row, I have been rewarded with a shot on the cover (that's my yard haunt photo on the bottom right corner) as well as a spot in the July spread! Thanks, Hector!!

The 2015 calendar is even bigger, with a huge collection of really impressive haunt photos from some big names in the home haunt world. Along with the photos, Hector has noted all of the major haunt conventions as well as a handy daily countdown until the big night. Outside of being a great calendar, it's an important reference guide that I'll keep handy throughout the year.

There's still plenty of time to snag one for this year if you haven't yet, and don't forget to get those cameras snapping in order to submit photos for the 2016 version.

Great work again, Hector!!

The Night Before Halloween

Less than 24 hours to go! It's the night before Halloween, and I'm working in circles to get things done for tomorrow's big show. I'm bleary eyed, but the adrenaline shooting through my veins is keeping me going...

All of the big props are done and ready to go, all of the little pieces parts are in their proper staging areas and the makeup reference photos are all laid out. Tomorrow's checklist is written so that I can knock out each step in order to be ready to face the onslaught of trick-or-treaters.

I had time for my annual "Night Before Halloween" movie:

And I even had a chance to get a nice teaser pic for tomorrow night's display. Weather aside, I'm hoping to pull off our best yard haunt yet.

After months of planning and building, the big night is finally upon us. Halloween is here. Are you ready?

2014 Halloween Haunt Calendar

So I finally ordered my copy of Hector Turner's 2014 Halloween Haunt Calendar. 12 months of terror, featuring over 110 haunt photos from the US, Canada and beyond.

This is the second year that I have submitted haunt photos from Highbury Cemetery, and I was rewarded for my efforts. Not only did my talking cemetery greeter photo land on the highly-coveted month of October...

...but I also scored a spot on the cover! Sweet! Thank you, Uruk-Hai!!

That's me on the bottom left. What a great surprise!!

This year's calendar is chock full of great photos from my fellow home haunters. It's great to see pics from friends as well as people I don't know. It's cool to see submissions from my fellow Ohioans, but the real delight is seeing the quality of work coming from Canada. They are really giving us Yanks a run for our money.

Pick up a copy of this cool calendar here, but hurry. You only have 11 months left...
