"... all corpsified and gross."

I resisted last year, not wanting to ruin my skelly... but I think I will need to give in and try my hand at corpsing it.  That is the process where it turns from an obvious plastic skelly into something so nasty and decayed looking that you may wonder if some of the props in The Kerbey House are possibly real.  So I will show him here... his bones naked for only a few days longer.



Here is one of several pics I have created to promote on The Kerbey House page on FB.

The following pictures are some of the inspiration for part of the walkthrough for 2014.  

Apologies to the original artist, as I don't know who to credit.

Build Season 2014

Build Season began for pro haunts months ago since many are already open for business (in other cities), but home haunters like myself are just starting to build our bigger outdoor props and structures.  Lumber is being scavenged, foam sheets are being purchased and carved, and props are being corpsed.

There will be more frequent updates here as the build progresses, but I will try to limit most spoilers.  If you have stumbled across this blog while searching for a haunted house attraction in El Paso (and getting depressed due to how few exist), I hope you will find time on Halloween night to visit... or possibly the night before (Thursday) to catch the more casual pre-show.  You can find us on Kerbey Rd, El Paso TX 79902, not far from UTEP.

This year's show will be improved and expanded from last year, with a focus on the detail work and increasing the creepiness.  I am conducting a search for haunt actors to raise the quality of scares.  If you bring small children through the walkthrough, expect them to have nightmares during the following week.  If you want to see a display that is more "general audience", the front yard cemetery should still be worth the drive here.
