19 Days 'til Halloween: Meet the Herbs... Rosemary and Basil

No one really knows what happened to the former owners of our home... Rosemary and Basil Herb. They left the house abandoned. Just disappeared some say. Or did they?



Mrs. Scaryweather's garden is coming together with these new prop additions. They're also yesterday and today's Para Abnormal cartoons. Not sure which came first, the prop idea or the cartoon. Both hit me at the same time seeing a pile of random mannequin parts I have in my stash.




Since I've titled my haunt Para Abnormal also, it's fun to actually tie the comic and display together. Plus I'm still hoping to create a little comic book telling the backstory and give away as a treat to kids, so now I've got a page or two done.

  2. If Abby and Martha Brewster (Arsenic and old Lace) had a garden this is what it would have looked like! :)

    Clever details for Mrs. Scaryweather's garden! Love your signage too!! Can't get over how well that turns out.

  3. My family & I were watching Brain Drain, and we were wondering if you make the foamy stuff that comes down the chute?? Looks like some type of gelatinized soap bubbles...??

  7. D5, No I don't make the foam.I'm just the slimemaker (along with other duties). Hundreds of gallons of foam is made by the shows's SPFX guys and it's pumped/ sprayed onto the slide via the jets you see along it and gathers into the pit.

    I am however responsible for keeping the pit from overflowing and have spent many a time knee deep in the foam scooping it away or knocking it down.
