Lone Ranger Legos

I have just finished putting together the last set that I received as a Christmas gift.
The set that are shown are all I have been able to buy.
The Stagecoach 79108.
Colby City Showdown 79109.
Constitution Train Chase 79111.

 

The following pictures are of those I arranged as Christmas decorations. I like Lego trains so I added one to the scene. I also like The Walking Dead TV show. See if you can locate any Zombies here.

 

There are so many sets that I am behind on buying.

 

Once I have the cats gone from my Lego area I can more sets back together. They like to play with them and move the figures around the house while we are a sleep.

Halloween Haunted House

I didn’t get to post as much as I wanted to this past (2013) Halloween because I spent every extra minute and lots of other hours work at a Haunted House that did a review on last year. The part I played was “Leatherface” from the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” franchise. It had been something that I had always wanted to do. The first half of the season was the hardest because it was still hot. I was not use to the weight of the chainsaw and having to crank it up every 5 minutes for 5 hours a night. It was extremely hot due to it always hot in SC. But I lived. Right now with it being at the end of the year, I am planning on a redesign of the “Texas” house in order for it to have a different layout and different “scream” areas. It will be much more gorier than ever before. I love horror movies and I love to create areas that make you scared before the scare happens. It’s all about the buildup before the big scare. I will post updates here as well as Lego creations. I will post pictures of the process while we are working it. I have tons of ideas and sketches that I need to upload. The tear down of the old will start in Febuary. Thats is not soon enough for me by I don't own the place. So I wait and design.

Universal Studoos Halloween Horror Nights

These were all over the entrences. It is a large sign for The Walking Dead.

 

 

On October 4th 2013. I was able to venture out to see Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights. It is their 23rd year putting on the show. This is the first time I have been able to make the journey down to Orlando Florida to see it. The main theme which was my favorite was that areas around the park that were set up like AMC's The Walking Dead which airs again Sunday night October 13th. I have included several pictures of the area but i don't want to spoil it for those who want see it first hand.

 

This year they had several Horror Houses set up to walk/run through. Here is the list with my added comments. It was a very good event when can see everything.

 

Walking Dead: No Safe Haven

This one by far was my favorite. The house in side was set up great. It was as if you were in the middle of the zombie action. I wish I was allowed to take pictures of the inside to show the decor. one of the cool parts is the Governor's room with the heads in fish tanks. There you will also find his daughter trying to bite you.

 

Resident Evil: Escape From Raccoon City
This room was straight out of the video game. When you walk in the door there you meet the male player shooting at the undead as he tries to attack you.

Evil Dead
This house is based on the newly released remake of the Evil Dead. are are put in the middle with close contact with all the characters in the movie. It was like being one of them. Watch out for the woman in the floor, she is there waiting to get you.

The Cabin In The Woods
The details Universal has added to get the realism from the movie was great. This house is a strong house with all the bells and whistles. All I can say to not give too much away is the fact that the evelvators have all types of creatures waiting to eat you and any time. It was great.

An American Werewolf In London
This was for me a much anticipated house because I really enjoyed the movie. Like I had said before, they spare no expense to get these places to look as it did in the movies. I have to give you a warning on this one. There are LOTS of Werewolves.  
a Llorona
This one for me was not that good. Only because I have never seen or heard of this movie.

Havoc Derailed
It was with much regrete that I didn't get to walk through this house.

After Life: Death's Vengeance
This house was so different from all the others. It is not based on any movies, it was created by the people of Universal Studios. They give you paper glasses to wear while you walk through. I had a problem with them staying on but as I found out after they kept falling off that it doesn't cause any problems if you don't want to wear them.

This is the bycle woman from the show. ****Warning**** this is real, she has no legs.

As you can see I took this picure ealry in the day because of the wrapped dead body under the blue tarp.

When you walk through the park during the day, you can see where props are put out. The sword was in the tree by day and these two were added at night. They are still cool with thier pants falling down which might have caused them not to be able to get away fast enough.

This was the victim that was uncovered after the parked closed at 5pm to get ready for Horror Nights.

Yes that is a squirrel trying to get in to Rick’s guns. I guess theey need to fight off the undead as well.

They had dead people laying around where the undead would feed on them. They will also stop eating the old food for a chance to eat on some fresh food.
