"Welcome to the 1st episode of
Home Haunting Jersey Devil Style. My
name is Grim Ghost. My friends and I formed a group that gets together
regularly to make are own Halloween props.
We call ourselves the Jersey Devil Home Haunters. We picked this name based on all us living in
Southern NJ and the local legend who dwells here.
So what is home haunting you ask. Home haunters are people who are really into
Halloween. I am sure that you have seen that one house in your neighborhood that
is really done up for Halloween. Not the
ones with just some lights and a jack o’lanterns, but the ones with graveyards,
coffins, skeletons fog machines and witches to.
Those are the people who are serious about their Halloween decorating. And that would be our group.
So for those of you who would like to be
home haunters and did not know how to get started or seasoned home haunters who
wants more information and tips, this show is for you.
In upcoming episodes we will cover topics like:
a. Getting
started either by getting store bought props or making your own
b. Homemade
Prop building using low cost materials and stuff found around the house.
c. Getting
ideas for your props from the web and Youtube.
d. Finding
online forums devoted to Home Haunting. These
forums are great for getting prop ideas and tutorials. They are also a great way to make new home
haunting friends or find a local home haunting group near you.
e. Halloween
Trade shows and Conventions. Events and happenings related to Halloween.
f.
Reviews of Books about Home Haunting, Halloween
parties and the History of the Halloween itself.
g. For
those home haunters with children, we will discuss Family-related things to do
like
i.
Halloween Projects for kids
ii.
Halloween themed movies/specials for kids
h. And
lastly what Things to do during the off Halloween Season. One such activity is to participate in is the
Krampus parades and activities that happen in December. Krampus, whos that you
say. Well that is a subject for later in
the year. Hopefully I can get my friends
over at the Philadelphia Krampuslauf to come on an episode and explain more
about Krampus. Till then good listeners just Google him and you will find
out.
Since it would be impossible to present
everything we talked in just a audio podcast segment. I have come up with both a Blogspot page and Facebook page to provide visual support. The pages will have the instructions, links,
pictures and websites for the topics we will cover in each show segment. Our
blogspot is (http://hhjds.blogspot.com/
and to find our FB page, just search for Home Haunting Jersey Devil Style.
Since this is the first episode, I will
present something quick and easy to do.
Go to www.hauntproject.com and check it out. This website is the premiere place to get
ideas and tutorials on making home haunting props. It is a great place to start if you are
either a beginner home haunter or even a seasoned one looking for prop ideas.
Well that’s all for now. Our next show will
be recorded at one of our Home Haunt gatherings. In it we will provide some starter prop
building ideas and how to get started with online forums.
Lastly I would like to Thank Mr Steve
Harrison for letting us use a verse from his great Jersey Devil song as our
show intro. Portrait, the album that it
is on can be found on Amazon.com. Just
search for Steve Harrison and Crosscountry under Music and MP3 and it will come
up (Also just click on the highlighted name and it will go to Amazon for you). I will also have a link to the album
and his youtube page on the blogspot page.
That’s all for now listeners. This has been Grim Ghost, In Dark Service to
the Nightmare that is Halloween, signing off."
