Who said you'd need a fan. Ray?  Fishwire that up, put coat on actor's face, yank it off. Reverse film. Oldest trick known to the FX man. Works everytime, costs next to nothing. low light helps cover the fingerprints.

In the rewrite, the dead goat doesn't jolt back to life (would have been a puppet/anamatronic anyway) so it no longer would be an issue. Monster audio FX no longer required. Still would need the usual wind outside though, no biggie.

Hands pulling Mary under mud, another old school cheap-o effect that still is sometimes used now and then; point moot as it is excised from script now anyway.
Old Graveyard set on hill now in its place. Plus new character, Caretaker.

Ghost of Mary and woman corpse/Ghost of corpse, however, one the same.

And we are running though our production, got some painted up chopped gummy worms (no longer edible) or real worms from Mom and Pop Bait N Tackle for five bucks ...rolling right along...


What about the ants?
Ants? What ants  
The ants in yo' pants that make ya dance?

The ants that pour of the eye sockets!
The money shot!

(I'm having fun with you here Ray, y'know that, right?)

Anyway, thanks for your input.
