Introduction

Hello,

It's been quite a while since I sat down to write anything Haunt or Halloween related.
The Vile Things website sat dormant for almost three years. I'll say that priorities and obligations put haunting on the back burner. I'll say that the Halloween seasons between 2006 and 2009 have been peaceful. I needed the break.

As much as I enjoyed the relaxed non-haunt pace, I've deeply missed the thrill of the Halloween displays. I've sorely missed the creative process - bringing ideas through processes to reality.
I miss the fog, and the lights, and the music. I miss the haunting community and the sincere passion that only haunters truly understand.

I'm excited to announce that break time is over.
I have a lot of catching up to do ... need to regroup all things website related, need to revisit the old props, need to fiddle with some new ideas. Most importantly, I need to prepare for Halloween 2010.
I'm looking forward to an adventurous build season and hope to have the chance to catch up with everyone along the way.

  9. I too kept you bookmarked and checked it frequently. It was terrible to see Vile Things gone. Don't do that again! And please, could you re-post all those great haunt archive pics? Good to see you back! -Dan

  10. Great to see you back Eric !!! I was hoping the flame had not completely died out. Finally got to meet Brent Ross and I swear there are some props that resemble the Corkus project !!!

    Can't wait to see what you come with next. Son of Bellicose here was a super hit. I'll shoot you some vids soon.

    Great to see you back.

  15. Hey, Eric! Long time - no see! Glad you're back, and hope everything went well for Halloween '10. Maybe I'm challenged, but I don't see any of your work on this site. Is there another site? Did you bring Vile Things web site back? Your work is a real inspiration! Keep it up! Dave
