Going back to 2005

 Because of medical problems, I am going to have problems building stuff.   But I can show you how my love for Halloween started.  I had found person on-line that year that had built a crypt, so I decided to do the same. thing. I was a building fool.  I was doing stuff for Christmas too.  I went to both Halloween and Christmas building groups.  It was fun.  For Christmas I had animated lighting controllers, and I used them for Halloween.  I put them in my crypt.   My work, at the time helped get the motor to drive the FCG.  I had so much.  I had music out the yard.  I had a scarecrow that was a tip to Jeepers Creepers character.  Let me show you.

Horrorhound Cincinnati

 I got the chance to go to HorrorHound in Cincinnati. Very cool but that place seriously needed a new AC unit.  I have been to Transworld in all three places, and it wasn't hot like here.  Lot of people were complaining about people stinking, but honestly the place needed better AC.  One thing that was supercool though was that Ed from Distortions was at my hotel.   I was randomly taking video, and he got in the shot. I have a photo of him as he is walking by. 

 Horrorhoud had the party at my hotel, and it was under my window.  Oh, my God.  I am not going to get any sleep.  But it wasn't bad.  We were smart and brought earplugs.  No problems sleeping but smelled weed all night.  I am not young anymore.  I wish I was. 

One reason that I went to HorrorHound was to get a few autographs. One was my 5th autograph on my Silent Hill poster.  Another was to get my other two pictures signed. One has Wes Cravens autograph and Freddy's/w the rest.  The other is John Carpenter. I wanted to add on to them.  I got Radha Mitchells autograph.  Then I got the jump rope girls from elm street to sign it. Their dad Tony signed my The thing pic. 

I wasnt feeling very well when I went. The seizures really mess with me. Even if I feel tired at all it gets worse.  That means I didnt take a lot of photos.  Certainly doesn't sound like me.  This blog doesn't take my phones photos. I have to convert them.  Here is a few.

These two are not mine.  I borrowed them.  Sorry.  I didn't make it in that area.  

Horrorhound Maskfest

 I finally have news.  In two weeks I get to see the horror masks at HorrorHound at Maskfest. Distortion Unlimited will be there.   Finally some Halloween news. Geez!  I am also getting some autographs from some horror movies. 

Diagnosed

 I finally found out what was going on all these years. I thought it was epilepsy but it wasn't.  I found myself going away from a lot of the stuff I love. Like Halloween building. I didn’t know why. I started to get migraines and seizures etc. It was starting to get rough. Last week I was test in a Chicago hospital and the diagnosed me with FND. You will have to search for that. Maybe I need to do a blog on that. It was rough and I have a lot of stories.

Halloween Cruise

 

It has been difficult for me to create the Halloween props as I once did. I still dont know what is going on with that. I am going to take a epilepsy test and a few other test in January.  But to keep the spirit I took a 9 day Halloween 🎃 cruise out of New York.  I got back November 8th.  We actually shot pass the hurricane Melissa.  They kept our balcony closed until the waves died down. 😢  Later they had a Halloween costume contest. I didn’t get any pictures. I wasn’t feeling well. I did get pictures of the Halloween door contest. That was cool.  

Homie Depot

 

I got to go to the homie Depot. I love that dragon. Sadly 😥, we are going to be in New York during Halloween this year. My wife's birthday is round Halloween.  It was still nice to get a taste of Halloween even if at Home Depot. The cruise we will be on will have a Halloween party though. So, that is something.  I will try to get pictures.

Still having issues with Photophobia and epileptic episodes. I don't have an officel diagnosis. I miss doing stuff. I had a feeling something was happening. I felt like I was slowing down for no good reason. 

Things Are Clearer

 

I know I have not been posting in a while and that I find strange. But, I know what is kind of  going on now. 

For the longest time I kept telling myself there is something wrong. I don't what, but there is something.  I have had issues that mimic migraines and epilepsy.  Still do not have an official word on that, but it has stopped me from doing Halloween.  I use to have ideas and thoughts, and I would get excited about Halloween and now nothing.   What ever this is, I hate it. Most of thought now are to plan ahead and keep a diary of my episodes. Its not fun.
