Its rough and much like this blog doesn't get updated very much. When I created the name "Rotting Hills" the only research I conducted was a Google search. I didn't want to have a home haunt with the same name as anyone else in the haunting community. </span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><br /></span><span style="color: orange;">Since then there was a short animated series with the same name. Technically I'm pretty sure I came up with it first, time-wise, but whatever. The reason I bring this up is someone brought this to my attention asking me how I bought the rights to the name and "kudos" on my effort. Yeah I laughed a little about his passive aggressive demeanor. I also answered in what I feel was a very mild and kind response. </span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><br /></span><span style="color: orange;">Really not sure where I was going with this rant but down below is a link to my website. ROTTING HILLS....Shea Halloween</span><br />

<span style="color: orange;">These are new castings from and old mold or mould, depends on where you live. Anyway I sculpted this fella many years ago. I call him Kevin because he reminds me of Kevin Bacon.....mmmmmmbacon. He was actually inspired from the amazing works of Mike Mignola. Kevin has been part of my yard haunting's for some time now. I just figured I'd try putting him out there and see if anyone wanted to purchase him. What do you know I actually sold a few. Now I have money for more supplies! Happy day!</span></div>

I moulded him and he was cast with a mask latex. I still haven't painted him. It's possible I may have some form or another of ADD or more than likely I'm just what the professionals categorize as "lazy".

<br />
Anyway I'm about to start on a build. I found this light fixture in the trash a while back. It's a pretty good size. I want to create a space zombie because let's face it it's a brilliant idea. I mean zombies.....in a UFO? Pure gold!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Haven't made any headway on the shack lately so I figured I would post some pictures of my Halloween costume. This here is Sir Reginald Gumsworth III, formally "Gummy the Pirate". I wore him around Walt Disney World the last two times we went...during Halloween time. It would be really weird if I just wore him for no reason at all. I fabricated him using odds and ends and an old backpack. This past year I retro fitted him with a top hat, moustache, a monocle, and some snazzy new duds. My moustache however is Photo-shopped. I wish I had such a glorious crumb catcher! Hope you like him.</span><br />

I've been sketching several new inhabitants lately. The sketch below is an example of how I want my new zombies to look. I'm going for a more whimsical feel, big head, skinny body, offset by a touch of gore. The plan is to sculpt the head out of foam, really hoping to find some huge chunks otherwise I'll be laminating the thin stuff. For the details like teeth-n-junk I'll be using Apoxie Sculpt, I love that stuff. </span><br />

The plan is to have this be the centerpiece. During October I would like to put an undertaker prop inside. Halloween Night the undertaker will be replaced with a human being...of sorts. It will also serve as candy-central. I'm thinking I may have to "slim" the design down a bit, with the storage factor and all. I really would like to have a ton of shovels and several coffins poking out of the ground.</span><br />

The weather-folk were reporting the possibility of some snow the week prior. We ended up getting a few inches, no biggy. Next "they" were speaking of a possible nor'easter. I wasn't very concerned figured "they" just needed a ratings booster. Turns out "they'' were right on the money. Saturday October 29th my city picked up 21-22'' of the <em>white devil</em>. Also let this be known I really hate that smug little weatherman, I would like to karate chop his face. He gets so excited, annoyingly so. </span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: white;">I only put a few props up, boarded windows, scarecrow, and a zombie in a coffin prior to the <em>white devil</em> falling. Have I mentioned how much I despise winter and snow? The plan was to put a few more items up the day of Halloween. I didn't really feel like digging out my front yard so what was up was up was up. Next year.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Oh yeah the powers that be decided to keep Halloween on Halloween. Smart idea too considering half the sidewalks in the city still were covered in close to two feet of snow, great job city officials keeping those kiddies safe! The best part was the surrounding towns all postponed the holiday till the following week. You should've seen all the cars parked around my house, it was crazy! Forty bucks worth of candy gone in 45 minutes! We plan on visiting our neighboring towns and repaying them.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Wow I sound like a whiny cry-baby. Sorry.</span> <br />

This is the point of this bloggy-doo-dad-thing. I figure if I put my plans out there maybe, just maybe I will accomplish them. I remember reading somewhere if you put your plans out for everyone to read you have a higher chance of quitting due to the fact our minds already feel the task has been accomplished....whatever. </span><br />
