Manor UPDATES

Greetings flesh eaters,
We've wrapped up framing construction and the Manor walls are in place so as the temps hit triple digits across north Texas it's time to grab a cold RAHR beer and move on to set dressing. Several of our sets have already received their initial base paint coat, faux finishing treatments and interior carpentry work, so stop by the Manor this weekend and help SPREAD THE DEAD on Saturday from 9:00A - 4:00P and on Sunday from 10:00A - 2:00P. Call the Manor for more details at 817-999-7131 or visit zombiemanor.com!

Haunting regards and STAY DEAD!
DJ

Do you recommend ice or refrigeration?

If ice, cubes or crushed?

If refrigeration, what kind of refrigerators do you recommend?

Our climate is very hot and humid.

Our experience is that flesh rots too quickly. We want to cool it down to retard the corruption of the flesh..

ZOMBIE MANOR said...

Depends on your location and volume of flesh. Here in Texas, we opt for refrigeration. You may be able to get by with a deep pit of at least 10-12 feet. Wrap the flesh and maybe even salt it. Just remember fresh flesh is the best flesh.

Keep it Creepy,

Digger. Thanks for the tips.

Talked refrigeration over with my neighbors and they didn't like the idea of our installing a refrigeration unit because of the constant noise of the compressor.

One neighbor said that she "wouldn't hear the ice melting" but she was certain she'd hear the noise of a compressor. Can't argue with that. So it will be ice here for sure.

Also, our work product is usually small carcasses so the deep pit we will dig is more modest than your recommendation.

But then you are Texans and we would expect your constructions to be larger than ours.

Small carcasses. Not dwarf size, but usually in the area of 5' to 5'5" before dismemberment.

Again. Thanks for the tips.

Just an update.

For Independence Day, we've dug a pit, lined it with a clear plastic liner and iced the base, covered the ice with pine bark mulch. Ice is crushed.

We are shading the pit with an ordinary rain fly from a camping tent.

We are doing this early to chill the ground.

Probably too early for the Fourth. But it gives us the opportunity to calculate melt-rates for the ice.

For this first night we are using sixty pounds of ice. The ambient temperature at ground level is 74 F degree.

Wednesday will be another day of testing with ice.

Carcass collection begins Thursday.

An unmarked car with two occupants has been parked across the street from our residence. A dark blue Ford Victoria,

We noticed the car early Thursday evening.

As I keystroke this Friday morning, a second car, also with two occupants, arrives. This car is a tan Ford Victoria,

The four men get out of their cars and talk briefly then return to their cars.

The men in the dark blue Ford drive away.

WCRX-LP Editorial Collective, said...

The men are still watching from their Vics. Twenty-four hours, round the clock with different pairs of watchers every eight hours.

We abandoned the collection of carcasses. For obvious reasons. We stopped icing the pit on Friday. Again for obvious reasons.

What is going on?

WCRX-LP Editorial Collective, said...

My wife says that when she uses our telephone, the line (land line) sounds hollow and sometimes she hears a faint echo.

The car is still parked across the street, 24 hours.

I'm concerned.

WCRX-LP Editorial Collective, said...

I've heard a mechanical "click" on the land line.

ZOMBIE MANOR said...

You need to stay calm. Get some pre-paid phones from Wally-World.
Stop using the other lines and assume they have long distance listening devices.

Now would be a good time to start using the secret language that you made up.

You did create your own language didn't you?

Remember that you never taught me the secret language so it is lost on me.

Last night, I received a phone call from the Arkansas Highway Patrol.

My husband's wallet was found outside Hot Springs.

He disappeared Thursday night. No note. He has been worried and a little bit paranoid recently. He was also upset about interference with the refrigeration ice pit in the back yard which he couldn't use on the Fourth.

Could he be headed for Texas?

Please let me know if he shows up at Eerie Industries.

Betty

ZOMBIE MANOR said...

Will do. I hope he doesn't lead the rats to the cheese.

WCRX-LP Editorial Collective, said...

Betty---I'm okay. I'm not headed for Texas. I'll let you know details when I can. Raise some cash. Sell the things in the hidey hole. Raise a lotta cash. I'll be in touch. The situation is worse than I guessed...T

Ted. I love you. Betty

WCRX-LP Editorial Collective, said...

Digger.

Can you loan me $350 so I can get a bus ticket to join up with Ted? I'll give you an IOU and pay you back when we're back on our feet. Ted will help pay you too.

If you can lend us the money, we have a friend who lives near you who will pick up the cash.

Ted's situation is as dangerous as we thought. If you loan us the money there won't be any direct tie-up to you so you will be safe.

I really need the bus ticket and I hope you can loan me the money.

Betty

WCRX-LP Editorial Collective, said...

Digger.

I really need some money.

I'm still here and don't have enough cash for bus fare. Rent will be due in two weeks and I don't want to have to pay rent without Ted being here. I can get the security deposit back from the landlord and that will help.

If you can loan me $450, my friend can pick up the cash for me at Eerie Industries.

Anything you can do will help.

Your friend,

Betty

WCRX-LP Editorial Collective, said...

Betty---I'm staying at Aunt C's trailer. She is in Omaha with Darlene.

We can hook up at the trailer if you can get there. Bus fare can't be too much.

Hitch hike if you have to. Forget about the rent. Don't worry about the rent deposit.

Has Digger given you any money?

Casle etro menachio.

And "yes" Digger is a tight wad.

Ted

WCRX-LP Editorial Collective, said...

Ted

The landlord's deposit refund check cleared. Account is closed and I have the cash.

I'll take the bus tonight.

Miss you so much.

Love.

Always yours.

Betty

WCRX-LP Editorial Collective, said...

Digger. Betty and I were supposed to meet at a safe location.

When I showed, there was a pool of blood coagulating on the asphalt.

Betty wasn't anywhere to be found. No luggage. No money.

Any idea where she is?

Whose blood on the street?

I know this isn't your problem. But I need help.

I also need some money. I'll be in touch if the cops stop surveilling your house.

There is something wrong going on.

Do you think this Sara Palin looks like Betty?

Her photos are everywhere and it is driving me crazy how much she looks like Betty.

Do you think McCain is helping to hide Betty?

I really need money. I really need Betty.
