Picspam of DOOM

[cornerofmadness]

So, I ran to Athens today to go to the Halloween shop to see what was on sale and those bastards did only one day of after sale and closed up shop. What a waste of my time, gas and money since I then went and binged in the Krogers to make myself feel better. Please someone physically restrain me the next time I'm in that Krogers.

I got my first springkink story from evil_little_dog. It's NCIS, Abby/McGee, go read and enjoy Sugar High

as promised Picspam

First up the Math/Science club luncheon

me and my coworkers the vampire-pirate chemist and the 1800’s maiden biologist

Enter now the Wicked Manor where Elizabeth has been living well by marrying and murdering river boat captains. She and her servants and dead husbands are still roaming the halls.


Her eccentric cook (my coworker, L, the one I talk about a lot. She and I decorated this room)


the dining room where the cook pops back out. I want the dragon chairs (we decorated this too and for that matter painted part of most of these walls in the whole place while the tech director's wife did the detail work on them)

while you're busy looking at table you trigger the motion sensor for this dude (helped make him too)


including this only because it came out cool and right before it a picture falls down and someone pops out


while you're studying the thing in the bed something comes at you thru this french doors

welcome to the living room. I want that couch

the living room fireplace, with cool LED hurricane lamps and a monster that rolls out of the chimney

the library with creepy blue light and something just around that corner (I painted all these damn flats well the shelving. Someone much more talented did the books

the front parlor where Lizzie waits with an axe well she would be if she weren't a teenaged girl that had to text up to the last second and couldn't be there for the shot. Everything on the table lives normally in my living room.

while they're walking towards this away from Lizzie and into the maze beyond where I lurk, a hatchet pops up out of this portrait of the tech director and they think Lizzie threw it

a zombie in its cage

If you survive zombies and maze Liz you move on to the funeral

zombie with dead husband This was great. He'd lie there holding his breath while the funeral director would do her spiel then as they were leaving, he'd sit up and turn on a red light on his face. You'd hear the screams and stampedes out.


if you survive the funeral you go to the tunnels beneath the graveyard and this IS a very old hand dug tunnel and the old brickwork of the building.


not really part of the tour but this is that staircase that I was drawn to that was hidden

do you know how long it took me to paint yards and yards of fabric to look like stone which it does in the dark but not so much in the light


the bottomless pool, freaky in the dark

the loculi, yes once again my handiwork with S's help painting that is. People shouldn't trust me with the saw to make this thing. You can hardly see it in this but we put tree branches down here to look like roots and you can't really stand upright entirely at this point if you're tall.

after getting past the various things lurking in the tunnel and another dead husband in a coffin you surface into the graveyard

just a small piece of it

then you go up onto stage

and get accosted by these two in the hedge maze all painted by L.

more graves and another dead husband who pops up out of that hole.

Lizzie is hanged for her crimes This falls down and so does the underneath the scaffold veiling so you can see her strangling then she meets you axe in hand around the corner. You leave the stage go out into the alley (no picture) and get chased there too.

i'll save the cemetery picspam for another day since this is already impossibly long.

Looks like far too much fun. :D

There are a couple of duplicate pictures - the dining room showed up twice and something else...the guy in the bed. Not the guy in the coffin.

mmm, scaring people....

i'll have to check the coding but not until tomorrow.

it was fun

Great pics. What an incredible amount of work went into this.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. it really did. I'm still sore and tired

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

Great job, you clearly put a lot of work into it -- and I'd love to have that furniture, too!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it was a ton of work. I'm still not sure how we pulled it together in time

Totally amazing! I want to go around that haunted house now. I love the dragon chairs and couch too - where did you find them? Do you get to take them home?

I love the burial niches with cobwebby skeletons - and I so would have fallen for the room with the thing in the bed and screamed a girly scream when someone pops through the French window. And motion sensors! I can't believe you've gone straight from this hardcore labour of love to nanowrimo - you're going to have to sleep all December!

Also, it must have been annoying but I'm totally amused that Lizzie Borden couldn't be in the shot because she was texting. "just killed mom 40x whack wt ax, roflmao, c u laterz?"

sadly no to the furniture. They belong to the theatre. the dragon chairs oddly enough were donated by my ob/gyn.

Snort. Sleep in december? You haven't met my mother. I'll sleep in January. Actually my writing always drops off in the dead of winter since I'm just so damn tired.

hahaha to the texting. I swear those kids nearly had convulsions when the no cellphone ruling came down.

It's a really fun haunted house
