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!

Once again, I attended the Midwest Haunters Convention in Columbus, OH. I hung out with Todd at the Fearscape Studios booth during the day on Saturday, June 4 and then attended the Masquerade Ball that night. I wore my recently updated costume called ‘The Experiment‘. I am very proud to have been selected as one of ten people for the Scariest Character Contest, and for the second time in my MHC history, I came in 2nd place! (The other time was with Jumbo the Clown at MHC 2009.) Seriously now, who do I have to throw in a deep pit in my basement to win 1st place in this costume contest?? I also want to congratulate The Tooth Fairy for winning the Ms. Scary Pageant. She works at a haunt in Cleveland, and her costume was sweet!
