Uncle 4E Animatron Hallowe'en Video!

[mike c]

If any of my fellow UMA soldiers would like to see the finished (for this year!) Uncle Forry animatron I built, doing his routine on Hallowe'en night, I've just posted video here:

It's Hallowe'en video so of course it's a little dark and murky, sorry; the moment I can afford a massive 3-gun digital low lux ultra-hi-res ENG camera, it'll look good! 

I also posted a picture of the 'Dracula Ring' I had to paint up in a hurry because idiot me forgot to do it until nearly too late. It's pretty funny looking but it worked well enough for me, hahaha!

I am posting more pictures and video from my Hallowe'en display tonight, so please come visit the ol' Skull & Pumpkin blog and enjoy the sights and sounds.

I just wanted to show my UMA brethren (and 'sistren'!) my little tribute to our dear uncle 4E!

Great work Mike!

Uncle 4E was incredible animation.You truly have a gift. I loved the "Attic Bride", very creepy looking.

I always enjoy visiting The Skull and Pumpkin.

 I have been so damned busy that I have not enjoyed all of Mike's great halloween fun.

Catching up on it now is mind blowing.

I want to just say this guy is a genius! We are so lucky to have him here among us.

I couldn't agree more, gracebuster. I am lucky to be able to call him a friend. He really is a genius and, even more important he's a great guy who does a lot to make monsterkids of all ages proud... just like you do, Dan.

Very Nice. Great Work.

Aw shucks, gee whiz, <mumble-mumble>... you are all way too kind in your praise. 

I think the most humbling compliments had to be from our own Cinemacabre when he wrote 'Thanks for giving us Forry back this year', and on Hallowe'en night there were at least four or five people who made virtually identical comments. It humbles and thrills me that it was received warmly by the Monsterkids; I surely didn't do it for anyone else but Monsterkids!

I appreciate it greatly.

I have added video of my Madame Leota crystal ball and the Great Pumpkin, and am awaiting video of the pirates and singing skeletons from my sister so I can post that stuff too.

I am really digging (ahem!) everyone else's yard haunt pics and Hallowe'en tales, bring it on!
