BRIAN F's NEW JERSEY NIGHTS: DARK RIDES, ALIEN ABDUCTIONS AND IGNIS FATUUS

Hi Woodsy.

I took advantage of a beautiful weekend and visited nearby shore points.

I like to do this every year about this time because the crowds are diminished and nights are a bit cooler.

The 2 islands I visited have boardwalk attractions with rides,shops, and plenty of food and drink. I usually grab a slice of pizza first and later have an ice cream cone!

My goal was to get some fresh air and exersize and to take pics of rides that had a spooky theme. Friday night was spent in Ocean City, a place I should visit more often as it's only 10 minutes from my house!

There was a ghost train simply titled "Dark Ride", a Pirates "Den and a wicked looking ride called "Alien Abduction".

Saturday night was a longer drive, about 45 minutes, to Wildwood. There,I witnessed the awesome "Ignis Fatuus", a rusting hulk of a ship infested with zombies.

This ride is said to be inspired by the movie "The Philadelphia Experiment".Next was a simpler theme.A clown' s smiling face welcomes you to the Funhouse, a realm of moving floors and distorted mirrors. Lastly,A ghost train nearly as old as me, the gothic "Dante's Den".

Hopefully,weather and time permitting,I can visit these places again before Summer's end.

The Worlds of...............

Hello Woodsy

I don't know if you're familiar with this book. 

I've almost finished reading it and while it's written by someone that is probably too much of a fan to be fully objective for me it's linked so many TV shows from my past as to be fascinating. The same core group of creative people seemed to have worked on everything I enjoyed watching as a kid.

The Devil Girl from Mars film that I saw in the cinema as a youngster, that so frightened me then, had Gerry Anderson as part of the production crew.

BIRTHDAY UPDATE: LEWIS M.

Hi Woodsy

My plans for world domination have veered from their laser-sharp positioning, although they're all still headed in the same general direction. 

My planned puppet fillum ( "As if Gerry Anderson and Benny Hill decided to make a home movie..." ) features my own character, an Ancient Egyptian dwarf who gets lost in another dimension and has an adventure aboard an inter-dimensional space craft crewed by zombie sloths! 

But even though the central characters are not average humans, I still require Captain Scarlet quality rod puppets and I'm working through the technicalities of achieving that. 

My 2001 astronaut was the first proof of concept and I'm currently working out how to make convincing 1/3 scale wigs (at this point using my own hair trimmings!)

They're supposed to be Heywood Floyd and Rolf Halvorsen and while still not perfect, inside their space helmets they should look fine!

- Which means once I get two finished Clavius Base figures, I can proceed with one of my other interesting side projects -a 3D lenticular lobby card, like the ones I can never afford! 

However, the main derailing of this noble plan is my meeting with toy collectors who have inspired me to try my hand at making my own Soft Vinyl Toys -like those old 60's style godzillas. 

I'm cataloguing my two steps forward, one step back progress on my Instagram feed https://www.instagram.com/lewispmorley

Here is a work in progress pic of my Ancient Egyptian dwarf heroine, in a NASA moon suit (to commemorate Apollo 11) 

- she kinda looks like Billy Blastoff, but a bit sexier! 

Thanks as always for a GREAT blog!
