Getting to crunch time. We are now officially under 8 months to Halloween and we still have LOTS to do to get ready for the 2022 Haunted Trail of Tears event (link here). Just realized I didn’t post the detail shots for that event – will get on that stat. Right now I wanted to focus on one of the props I built for last year’s haunt. Technically it is an “upgraded” of a prop that was several years old.
I had designed two Nightwings (link here) and was looking for a clever way to incorporate them into the haunt. Ron found this really cool Gargoyle at Home Depot and bought it for me to use with one of the wings. That heavy resin prop already came with wings so we just tried to cover them up. I also whipped up a stand the night before that year’s event to hold the Gargoyle and the mechanical wings. Trust me, it did look better at night.
After looking at for a couple of years, decided it was time to give it the presentation it deserved – the black plastic tablecloth covering didn’t fit the high standards we set for the trail. Bring on Project Cemetery Sentry.
Doesn’t that look a lot better!?! Thought I would walk you through the effort involved with the transformation.
Hit the jump for more details on the ’21 addition to the prop collection.
