Halloween 2023: American Witchcraft (WIP)




Here's a progress shot of the first witch I've been working on for the 2023 halloween display! 
She's built around a tidy cats litter bucket, out of newspaper, duck tape, maché and other odds and ends.
I wanted this year to be a nod to the old, classic tale of the American witch in the woods. The haunt will be super organic, overgrown and a bit disturbing, but I can not wait to share it all this October. It will be my biggest haunt to date but I'm about 75% finished everything that needs to be built :)

      Thank you Rot! Most of the hard building is out of the way, now I can focus on lighting, detail work and set dressing (all the fun stuff)

      I can't wait to share soon, October is creeping up and I'm super excited :))

    She is very intense almost like she cannot wait for her big reveal. Nice texture throughout her clothing - it really gives her that organic feel.

Halloween 2022

My halloween display for 2022 outside of my apartment, on the shared porch. All of the neighbors enjoyed it and especially loved all of the jacks. We had spooky music by Halloween At High Noon on the stereo and gave out goodie bags with toys and candy. The coffin is hand carved EVA foam and the corpse is a Walmart skeleton with layers of paper towel maché. I started this blog to condense all of my photography and props onto a platform other than instagram, so I can not wait to share more. I'll be uploading some passed/current work for now until the halloween 2023 display is up. Thank you for the support  :)

 Lancaster County, PA | 6/10/23 Corpse scarecrow that I built for the display this year. My fiancé and I took him out around the fields in Fivepointville and got some photos on the side of the road. I also took a few on 35mm film, so those will be uploaded once I get it developed.
