The Von Spüken Hotel, The Game Room

The Game Room ... 

Hunting tales and trophies fill the room.

The Haunted Grandfather Clock.
We made a cd with ghost sounds and whispers and
placed speakers inside it to make guests think it really
is haunted.  Also, we made it so there will be a spooky
Grandfather clock sound every 30 minutes.

Our Hunter trophies.
We were so excited when we saw these 3 animal masks
at a party store back in August.  We bought them and
never looked back.  I think they add a creepy vibe to the game room.

Well that's all for now.  I will be posting more photos of the complete Game room,

the kitchen, our Singing Ghost, and our dance room.  

I'm also planning on making a video walk through of the whole house.

Happy October!!

The Von Spüken Hotel

It took a while but finally some progress. The Von Spüken Hotel is finally open, beware of ghosts ;)

The Elevator, work in progress

Work ... Work ... Work but it's all worth it because our Halloween decor is coming along nicely. Here's a picture of our elevator, not quite complete but I'm really happy with how it's turning out. I think we should be done by tomorrow and hopefully a majority of our decor should be finished this weekend. I'll post pics when everything is finished, until then, Happy October.

Not your typical Halloween shopping

Well we are finally doing some Halloween shopping ... at Lowes. Yup we finally bought the supplies to start working on our haunted elevator. I'm really excited because this will definitely bring the lobby to life. Okay I better help tie the plywood to the car. Happy October!

Happy October 1st!

Happy October fellow Halloween lovers!!

And what better way to celebrate than by watching a good movie or two,

mine will be The Burbs and Clue, and some pumpkin icecream!  

I was so surprised because this little guy appeared overnight at the store ... 

it truly is an October miracle. 

Happy October!

Random Sugary Fun!

So last night, my sister and I decided to make a cake.  She would bake and I would sculpt the decor.  We were inspired by Pan's Labyrinth (this guy in particular)

... and away we went.  I had a few options ... but decided to sculpt him out of Tootsie Roll.

It was challenging (and sticky) but I think it turned out ok.

And here's the finished cake!  

Devil's food cake with strawberries complete with coconut grass and graham cracker dirt.

 A special thanks to my sister for getting me excited about sculpting with food :)

You can see her creations on her blog
