I'm back from my Annual Unannounced Unplanned Post-Halloween Hiatus!* I've been away longer than usual this year. I needed some time away to focus on other work/projects/personal things. Blogging and working on Halloween stuff had to take a backseat.
I've been thinking about what I want to focus on and accomplish this year, and decided to relay some of that here, as a kind of personal accountability. So, this year, in no particular order, I'd like to:
Make more props!
I want to practice with new techniques and improve the workflow I currently use. I want to really up my game when it comes to painting and final touches. And as much as I love corpsing, I want to try making other décor as well.
Finally open an Etsy store!
I've been considering this for over a year now. It would serve mainly as an outlet for me to make props/décor without having to worry about space or thematic cohesion. Plus, I won't have to worry as much about material costs if I sell the final product!
Write more Haunt Theory posts!
I have at least two drafts in the works, and an upcoming mini-post about a material I don't see used very often among haunters. I also want to create "hub" page for Haunt Theory posts written by myself and other haunters.

Those are my Halloween "resolutions" for 2025. More nebulous desires than concrete goals, but workable nonetheless. I'd love to know what everyone else wants to accomplish this year, so please drop a comment!
Lots of "grandiose" plans for this year's haunt that include some landscaping modifications in order to start making better use of the area around our now established maple tree out front. We've worked on as much as we can in our basement since November, but the rest of our haunt projects have to wait until the late spring/early summer.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Congratulations on the new tree. I hope you have fun planning and working on your yard, I wish I had one ;)
