Finials for a PVC Fence

If anyone is building a PVC fence, I wanted to point out of a source for finials.

I purchased the plastic finials pictured below from DecorativeIron.com. The item number is 16.2029.

These square finials will fit over 1/2" schedule 40 PVC. However, it is a very tight fit and it would be very difficult to get them on without heating up the PVC. If you use a heat gun to warm the PVC, the finials slide on very quick and easy. It creates a very good fit after the PVC hardens. In fact, it's very difficult to get them off.

Shipping was a bit high from DecorativeIron to Virginia at $14.53 for 100 finials, keep that in mind if you order.

BUT... they look pretty good and they kept Bucky inside the graveyard.

It's a BAD Seed

I received my second order from Jeff over at TheFrighteners.com today. The Bad Seed Creature Reacher looks good. I'm not going to be using it as a costume but as part of my reworked riser prop.



Here's the entire costume in a catalog shot.


This is the prop I will rework using the Creature Reacher.

Got Some Inspiration Care of a Trip to FLA

We took the kids down to Disney World last week. While the Haunted Mansion is looking old and tired inside, it was still great to snap some photos while in line. There are a couple of edited images below. However the lobby of the Hollywood Hotel still looked wonderfully creepy.
