Collect a Halloween Village? Think of Location, Location, Location!
Over the years several companies have been creating small scale collectible models for Halloween. These models represent a variety of buildings – Victorians, mansions, morgues, movie theaters, etc. – as well as a wide array of characters and decorations.
Often these models are limited productions, the runs lasting only a season or two. This limited production time plays havoc with those of us who are rabid collectors, but it also creates a rather eclectic and original townscape for each collector’s home.
While the availability of pieces (and the necessary funds to acquire them) can be limited, the greatest challenge for a collector often lies not in the acquisition, ...

The Horror Tellers – An Interview with Sandy Reebel and Sada Egenriether
If you go to a certain quiet corner of Michigan in the fall, near the shores of Lake Huron, you’ll find quiet cottages, harvested wind-swept fields, and scarecrows with scythes, bloody eyeless skulls and severed limbs. It looks like you’ve reached Scarecrow Village, created by your dark entertainers for this chilly evening, Sandy Reebel and Sada Egenriether.
Sandy has been creating yard haunts and her delightfully gruesome “scrows” for many years, and when she isn’t preparing her village, she co-owns a local landscaping company. Recently, she and her daughter Sada Egenriether have teamed up to provide professional design services and advice for anybody’s haunted attraction. Their website, The Horror Teller Online, showcases innovative products and concepts, and provides ...

Scary Halloween Patents
When decorating for Halloween, folks often realize better ways to do things or better ways to make products that they use in games, parties, decorating, etc. This is often a fleeting idea brought about by the frustration of dealing with a poorly thought out product or method.

Black trees can come in various heights, and good quality ones are hard to find. We had to special order our personal trees five months in advance because the factories get fired up for Christmas tree orders by summer and don't like to change ...
