Welcome to the world of Bald Brain: designer, inventor, dreamer...
This site is dedicated to sharing my many hobbies, Halloween being my favorite. I've got some how-to's for Halloween costumes and haunted house props.
You'll find other stuff here too like some music I wrote way back when, some old Flash animation humor, and whatever else distracts me from time to time.
Only 163 days until Halloween!
My most elaborate costume yet: BrainStorm! The Super Villain Robot. I began designing the costume in November of 2011, then started the construction in January of 2012.
I will wear BrainStorm at MARcon, a fantasy & science fiction convention in Columbus, OH, on April 7, 2012 and also at the Midwest Haunters Convention in Columbus, OH, on June 9, 2012.
In order to conceal my body and create the illusion of a free standing robot, I will be hidden between the layers of his super villain cape so you won’t see me at all. My face will be projected onto a screen which I can move around using two servos, allowing the robot to look around the room. The feet light up with each step.
The 2011 Halloween season kept me quite busy. I joined a professional haunted house in Dublin, OH called The Scare-A-Torium. I made tons of great new friends, and had a fantastic time scaring the customers every weekend for the entire month of October. I wore “The Experiment” as my costume and continued to make changes and improvements over the course of the month. READ MORE »
I made these two remote control rats for a local production of the musical Hairspray. The photos have captions describing each step of the process. The key to making them wobble when they move is a bolt extending out from the side of both rear tires. As the tires rotate, the bolts push up on alternating sides of the rat’s body.
I wear prescription glasses. Going to see a 3D movie where I have to wear a 2nd pair of glasses is uncomfortable. I decided to bring home a few pair of the realD 3D glasses from my local theater and modify them to fit my normal prescription glasses.
With the final Harry Potter movie due out in theaters on July 15, 2011, I’m planning a movie marathon with my friend Jim. We are going to watch all of the Harry Potter movies at home on Blu-ray before going to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in the theater. Yes, we are grown men. No, we don’t care what you think. Harry Potter is Cool Beans!
