Yesterday was the Troll quilting bee. It looks like all of this year's trolls re-did parts of their costumes and invested in new parts (Trolls are the only characters that provide their own stuff, except masks).
There is a new yeti costume for the Scooby train ride. We saw the kids practicing in the costumes for it yesterday.
The side show stage is set up like a reverse theatre. Instead of stadium seating looking down on a stage, the stage is set up about 10 feet in the air so everyone standing below can see the show.
I haven't seen this year's Buffy vampires, but I think you will all forget about them if we pull off the new werewolves well.
I have to add that I saw the new warewolves and was very impressed. Can't wait till graduation tomorrow night, should be fun.
I will also add, for those who care, that rehearsals this year have been more intense and demanding than in the past. The side show has been rehearsing non-stop and I know all of us in Necro are pretty tired. And I am impressed with the Zombies and grave diggers look this year.
Tomorrow night is the big test. Perform for park employees and the media, then the Lawyers on Friday night and Saturday the public. Which means I can eat more brains Saturday night than any other night mmmm....brains.....

Caught some of the puppets practicing in front of the water. Heard the Demon song in the backgound...
Puppies (werewolves) seem to have gotten the hang of the new bit. Sliders are in true form.
We cased the Masoleum. It seems to be the new home for all the pneumatic props that used to be part of Sadies Dead and Breakfast, but the house is set up darker than Sadies ever was. The kids are working hard on the scars there, it should be well worth the $5.
I haven't checked out Sleepy Hollow yet, might not get a chance.
The park looks good. Most of the white bulbs have been replaced already with greens, reds, and blues, or gels have been put in place to cut and color the lights. No music in the park yet, but the smoke and searchlights have been running under the King Kong balloon.
I heard the werewolfs were coming along good.. havent seen them yet. hopefully I get to see all tonight at CCU. Thats if the office ever calsm down =( I feel like im going to cry. I got home around 12 last night.. couldnt sleep til 4 (had stuff to do for CCU) and now its 1 and im heading back to the office. 8 hour day today - great =( Ill see everyone tonight.. dear god help me if i hear one complaint.
Hey. I talked to a girl who was at the park tonight and all I said was how was it and she said it was scary. Then she said, "they had these new creatures that were on stilts and they chased you and stuff." Sounds good. I cant wait to see these werewolves. Anyone else who was there or works there want to share their opinions?
I was so jelous tonight. I had dinner in that noodle place across from gam and i felt like i was going to die because I knew some people from my school with older sisters who work at the park plus some of you guys were over there. I decided not to go to pkis fearfest and told my mom to cancel the hotel room because i wanted to go to fright fest this weekend.
The werewolfs are great!! I finally got to see them tonight at CCU (I was dying at that) My cousin the grinder is so hot (literally).. she has this really small cute outfit on and she like saws herself well kinda (not giving it away) its great though (shes in the freak show).. im sure you guys will like it (am i right mike?) Anyway,... the rehearsal was great today.. and tomorrow is going to be even better, and saturday it should be great. but im sooooo frickin tired and cranky right now. Almost 10 hours of paper work and stupid people has gotten to me. Hope to see you all soon =)
I got some good Scares last night everyone! SHOVELS ROCK! I got some good sparks and stuff You are all in for a great time in Necropolis SO far this year its really good, Looks like a hunted city, the people act like its a haunted city becase it is a HAUNTED CITY!
Jilly is hot! WHOOO HOOOO I didn't know she was your cousin....
The freak show is awesome. Mandy, did you see Skunk on the stage last night? YUK! hahahahahha
Did you happen to see what I did up on stage last night after shaking everyone's hand? HAHAH I just wanted to get on TV
The warewolves are AWESOME. They are on "Jumper Stilts" These guys can run and jump on these things really well. I wouldn't want to be chased by one of them.
I heard a lot of good things last night about the characters in Necro, especially me hehehehe. Tonight is the big test, we have to deal with Lawyers and their kids. "My daddy will sue you if you scare me".
I can't get the black off of my eyes so I am at work with what looks like mascara on my eyes....
