Hey Gang! A quick reminder that there’s no video this weekend (I typically take the week after Halloween off to regroup). I was going to do a livestream but Saturday we’re having a haunter yard sale and it felt like too much to do both.

So instead I’ll be back November 8 with a fun new Halloween to Star Wars crossover project.

I hope your Halloween was a blast!

If you like Star Wars, Skeletons, and Home Depot animated props you’ll want to grab one of these lil guys while they’re on sale for an upcoming build!

Check out this new video and product from my friend Jasper Anderson! It's a really great take on a familiar effect.

All good things must come to an end, but thankfully VanOaks Cemetery can live on in other ways - in YOUR haunt!

EDIT: Don’t worry, I’m not quitting YouTube, just selling our old props to make room for all new props!

Trying to squeeze in all of these last minute upgrades can be challenging, but having lived with the new paint on these columns for a few days now I’ve got to say this was faster and easier than I expected and shouldn’t have been put off for as long as I did.

If you’re reading this and have no idea what I’m talking about, you should catch up on this week’s video! And maybe there’s a Halloween prop in your collection that can have a second life with a bit of paint.

I know we're deep in the heart of Halloween mode right now, but I wanted to take a moment to share this video from my buddy Brian over at the Smuggler's Room. His ability to "make something out of nothing" is unmatched - and even if you're not into Star Wars, his work is truly inspiring and worth watching. So check it out!
