Fog Machines

It’s time, my friends.  It’s time that I finally invested in a new fog machine.  My first–and last–was a $20 cheapie found at a local ‘Mart-type store.  As you can imagine, such high quality merchandise produced a wonderful amount of… smog.  Enough smog to choke a Smurf, but not actual fog, and certainly not in an amount large enough to cover a garage floor.

The models I’m thinking about now are the American DJ Fog Storm 1200HD Fog, the Chauvet H1300 Hurricane Fog Machine, or the Eliminator EF-1000 Fog Machine.  Neither of these models has a chiller unit, a tub or otherwise plastic container in the back you can fill with ice to keep the fog cooled down so it won’t float up and become, you know, smog.  But, they seem to be the best to be found at a reasonable price, so I may choose one of them.

If you have any experience with one of the three, or if you know of another fog unit you’d like to recommend, please feel free to suggest away.

Horror Host

Kansas City needs a new horror host.  Or, hostess, as Roberta Solomon’s Crematia Mortem kept Kansas City entertained with ‘B’ horror flicks  from 1981 to 1988.  Unfortunately, all of the affiliate stations here in town are committed to showing the usual late night pablum everyone else is seeing across the country, so asking for local flavor might, indeed, be asking too much.

Maybe KCPT would allow a few hours on the weekend dedicated to camp and goth; heck, at this point I’d even settle for one of the unfortunate city channels.

Also, welcome to Goblin Manor.  First post and all.
