October 3rd, 2009 (no turning back now)
Okay, since we may have to scale back quite a bit, I have thought of a few places to hopefully have our wedding/reception. These are possibles if I can make them work.
The first back-up that I thought of was kind of silly as it has been staring me in the face. Yes, we had the plan of getting married at Forest Lawn in Glendale. Why? It's a cemetery and a very pretty church. But wow, so expensive.
SOOOOOO....c'mon. It's in October, and we have a spectacular place that is already going to be decorated during that time of year. It's our second favorite amusement park.
Knott's Scary Farm!
I know, huh? I discovered it may not be too much either. Here's the link:

Now since I am a Haunt veteran, I do know that more than likely, we would have to have the reception in the Chicken Dinner restaurant. You know how I know? Well, during Haunt Auntie Pasta's is used for the pre-dinners, The Ballroom has a show in it, and Wilderness Dance Hall usually has a maze inside it.
But oh wow. How fun would that be? We could have our wedding and get pictures with some monsters! Yay!
AND.. on Monday (tomorrow) I am going to call the PR department that we dealt with for the Haunt show last year. She had said we were welcome back anytime. If I can present it as a Haunt/wedding promo, we may get to do it for a lesser price or free!
We were planning on doing another Haunt show anyhow. It's The Darkest Hours Wedding Special at Knott's Scary Farm! Ooh, I like the sound of that.
I will do my best to persuade the powers that be. Then all I would have to worry about is my dress and oh the food. Wish me luck on that.
My second idea was to really try to save money and see if my Mom's friend Judy would be willing to let us use her backyard. It is already decorated so cool. We could just throw a few more Halloweeny type props in there and it would be awesome. It would more than likely be a potluck, but everyone loves to cook and I'm sure we would have plenty for all.
The only issue with that is I would have to cut my guest list so much. But hey, I'm sure I will get a sign soon.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

It's the new year but I want it to be October already!
I am missing the spookiness a lot today.
So to make myself happy, I am going to post some of my pictures from DeviantArt. I went and put them into a slideshow.
The first pictures are from when we got to film The Darkest Hours at Haunt 2008.
The last two are from the Jack The Ripper shoot that we used most of the pictures for the intro. I also did the makeup on the victim, who just happens to be my daughter.
You can see them at www.darkestjack.com.
Enjoy! I know I do.

Good morning, world!
Yes, you're not seeing things. I am awake at the crack o' dawn. I wanted a to get a few pics of how the balcony looks now in daylight. Here it is.
Thank you, my sister for that amazing website, Slide. It makes slideshows so easy and painless.

In your face, vanilla people!
So today Jack and I decided to really get our balcony decorated for Halloween. There were a few "normals" that had some stuff out and we couldn't get shown up like that. Oh no. I am going to take a few pics tomorrow during the day too to show the details.
We already have had neighbors saying how great it looks! That's right. We know Halloween.

The Darkest Hours goes to Haunt!
Yep, we did it. We finally got to shoot the show at Knott's. Jack has almost finished everything. We watched a test DVD last night and it was so incredible! It was a lot of work for me since I am producer to do the emails back and forth to convince their Marketing dept. that we would be a good idea to help promote them.
But it came out so nicely. I am confident that we made a good impression and once Knott's sees our DVD, they will welcome us back next year. Oh, we did get a few pics. I don't really like how I look in this shot. I think it's because of the skirt I am wearing. See for yourself.
I can't wait to go to Haunt on the 16th! It's also Jack's birthday, so that will be even more of a treat.
