I'm thinking about subjects for upcoming videos and one that keeps coming to mind is how to design an epitaph for Halloween tombstones. While there's really no wrong way to go about it, would you be interested in seeing a video about how I come up with my designs?

Many of you have heard of The Hallowed Haunting Grounds, a home haunt started in the late 70s here in the Los Angeles area and how influential it's been to me and our haunt. Well, I just stumbled across this behind the scenes look posted to just youtube 9 months ago that gives an amazing glimpse into what made The Hallowed Haunting Grounds so special. Enjoy!

Hey gang! I know I mentioned the possibility of a livestream tomorrow (Aug. 2) but I’ve decided to hold off. We’re super close to wrapping on this project and I want to make sure everything is delivered on time.

In the meantime, I’ve put together a playlist of ALL my Halloween tutorials (5 years worth) to hold you over until next week. Check them out here: www.youtube.com/playlist?list...

Thanks for being so supportive while I navigate this larger project & YouTube work.

See you next week!

The big project I'm working on is in it's final stages and I'm not going to be able to squeeze in a video this week.
Should I do a livestream and tell you more about our Halloween plans?
