3 New T-Shirts Coming Soon to the Zombie Army Store

2012-02-09T16:39:00.006-05:00

I've designed 3 new t-shirts which are currently at the printers, set to debut at the Zombie Army / Sinister Visions booths (Booth #740/742) at TransWorld's Halloween & Attractions Show in March. Once they're printed & shipped, they'll go up in the Zombie Army Store for sale online, as well. Here's a sneak peek (click to enlarge)!

GlobalFearEnterprises.com Has Launched

2012-02-08T22:56:00.002-05:00

As mentioned a few days ago, Matt Valentine's company website has been overhauled and relaunched by Sinister Visions at GlobalFearEnterprises.com. Drink in the horror.

New TransWorld T-Shirt Designs

2012-02-06T14:01:00.002-05:00

TransWorld has given me the OK to publicize 2 designs Sinister Visions has created for the upcoming Halloween & Attractions Show in St. Louis in March and the Legendary Haunt Tour in Louisiana in November. You'll be able to purchase both designs at the show.

New Website Launch for Face Off's Matt Valentine

New Original Artwork Up at Etsy.com

2012-01-31T09:38:00.003-05:00

I've received 3 paintings back from the various galleries in which they've been hanging since October and they're up for sale in my Etsy shop:

As always, these are also available as 8" x 10" signed/numbered prints at http://chadsavage.com.

Muvico Theater 18 and the Chicago Fear Fest

2012-01-29T12:33:00.001-05:00

Yesterday I had the opportunity to check out the Muvico Theater 18 in Rosemont, which is where the upcoming Chicago Fear Fest will take place in April, and I finally understand why co-sponsor Mike from Flashback Weekend gets so excited when he talks about it.

It's beautiful. Grand. Huge. This theater was designed to impress - state-of-the-art theater design, seating and, in the case of the Premium Packages, downright luxurious. Bogart's, the restaurant/bar where the festival's Zombie Army-driven afterparties will be held, is elegant and spacious, the perfect place for cocktails and socializing.

If you're in or near Chicago, I highly recommend checking out the theater, whether you'll be able to make it to the CFF or not. I'm doubly excited for the Chicago Fear Fest after having visited it myself. To see photos of it and get more information, visit the Muvico website.

New Year, New SinisterVisions.com

2012-01-09T23:16:00.004-05:00

Well! What was supposed to be a code patch turned into me realizing I haven't updated SinisterVisions.com's core code/design in over 3 years, which isn't a good position for a professional web designer's website to be in. So I took the weekend and rebuilt it almost entirely from scratch.

I've streamlined the navigation and simplified things significantly; hopefully I've made the site a lot easier to move around in.

Although I still have a little tweaking to do, it's 99% finished and ready for perusing. Even better, it should look exactly the same whether you're in Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari, on a PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone or Android device (only caveat being, since it is a graphically intensive site, it may take a minute to load on some devices).

I hope you enjoy it!

SinisterVisions.com : Issues & Updates

2012-01-06T21:52:00.003-05:00

My navigation system has arbitrarily stopped working within the same 24 hours that I've started working on a new version of SinisterVisions.com (it's been more than 3 years). I'm going to make some basic alterations as a short-term patch, but otherwise will be kicking the re-design into high gear. Bear with me.

New Font : NEEDLETEETH

2011-11-19T01:00:00.001-05:00

Just finished a new suite of fonts called Needleteeth. I drew the letterforms on Halloween night, but didn't have the chance to do the rest 'til yesterday. Enjoy!

The Munsters Love Sinister Fonts!

2011-10-09T06:03:00.002-04:00

I just noticed that Butch Patrick's MUNSTERS website (http://www.munsters.com/) makes extensive use of my font Castle Dracustein. That's so fitting. The Munsters influenced everything I do; it's awesome to now be able to contribute to their legacy!

Sinister Font Sighting

It's Lycanthrope!

Sinister Visions the Movie

2011-08-21T14:37:00.001-04:00

Yes, I'm aware that there's a movie being made under the name "Sinister Visions". No, I don't have anything to do with it. I contacted the filmmakers via Facebook a year or so ago and pointed out that the name was already in use, and the response was effectively "we don't care". So there you go.

Faces of the Great Pumpkin Art Contest

2011-07-23T16:32:00.000-04:00

The Cult of the Great Pumpkin, in association with Sinister Visions inc., is sponsoring its very first contest: Faces of The Great Pumpkin.

The concept is simple: Draw, paint, sculpt or otherwise create a portrait of The Great Pumpkin. That is, YOUR VISION of The Great Pumpkin. Since nobody’s ever seen him (and lived to tell about it, anyway), his appearance is completely open to interpretation, and that’s what we want to see! Let your imagination run wild, commit your ideas to paper, screen, sculpt or pumpkin pulp, and send it in!

Visit the Cult of the Great Pumpkin's CONTESTS page for full details and information.

Back at Blogger.com

2011-01-14T00:42:00.000-05:00

Exactly one year ago, when Blogger.com announced that it would no longer allow direct FTP publishing, I moved my blog over to Posterous.com so that I could continue to have my blog feed directly into SinisterVisions.com

In the past year, I discovered two things: (1) A different way to fully import a Blogger.com-based blog into any website with a little RSS and PHP magic, and (2) I don't particularly like Posterous. It's somewhat clunky and, more importantly, pulling in the RSS feed severely affected my site's home page load time.

I've taken it one step further this time and fully developed my Blogger.com page as a standalone element. If you are active on Blogger, head over to http://chadsavage.blogspot.com and hit the "Follow" button.

New T-Shirt Design for No Quarter

2011-01-14T00:31:00.000-05:00

Just finished this t-shirt design for No Quarter. I'm going to try to get better about posting stuff as I finish it, not all at once in the portfolio 6 months after I finish it (like the 5 other No Quarter shirts you can now see under "OTHER SHIRT DESIGNS" HERE).

New Font Released : Mostly Ghostly

2010-12-17T20:50:00.000-05:00

I've released still another new Sinister Font at SinisterFonts.com called Mostly Ghostly. It was partially inspired by Blambot's comic book font Elder Gods, and partially by classic pulp horror comics in general.

New Font Released: Exquisite Corpse

2010-12-10T21:41:00.000-05:00

I've released yet another new Sinister Font at SinisterFonts.com called Exquisite Corpse. It's my homage to classic Creepshow-style EC Comics-era spooky, drippy fonts..

New Font Released: Unquiet Spirits

2010-12-03T12:59:00.000-05:00

Head on over to SinisterFonts.com and grab my newest font Unquiet Spirits, the more mature, reserved, stay-at-home cousin of Ghastly Panic. I was going to call it "Gruesome", but turns out there's a really old font with that name already. Oh, well.

Blank Greeting Cards Featuring the Dark Art of Chad Savage

2010-12-03T01:07:00.000-05:00

Happy Fontsgiving!

2010-11-27T14:09:00.000-05:00

Today I'm releasing a new font called October Crow. I drew it on Devil's Night (October 30th) while watching The Crow, but didn't have time to do the font conversion part until this holiday weekend. Head over to SinisterFonts.com and grab it!

I've got two more fonts coming down the pipe, as well - Exquisite Corpse and Gruesome. I'll be releasing one per week.

I've also added a photo gallery to the Sinister Visions Facebook Page showcasing Sinister Fonts sightings - if you have any pix to add, feel free!

Moving from Blogger.com to Posterous.com : Easier Posting & Easier Subscriptions

2010-02-10T11:45:00.000-05:00

For almost as long as Blogger.com has existed, SinisterVisions.com has used it to post news and updates to the front page of the website. At the end of March, however, Blogger.com will no longer support the key feature (FTP publishing) that made this possible. So I've moved the blog over to Posterous.com, which I've discovered (a) makes posting ridiculously easy (so expect more frequent updates) and (b) allows commenting on posts (look for the link under each entry), so feel free to talk back in the comments!

Further, I was never able to get my old mailing list to work properly on the new server after last years crash, so I'm dumping it in favor of Posterous.com's "Subscribe" feature, which allows you to basically subscribe to the Sinister Visions blog via email. So if you're interested in keeping up with what we do around here and don't want to have to check the site for new free fonts and such, go to http://sinistervisions.posterous.com and click "Subscribe to this posterous >>" under "GET UPDATES" on the right-hand side of the page.

New Sinister Fonts on the Horizon: Swamp Witch, Spiderfingers and Lycanthrope

2009-11-30T13:13:00.001-05:00

I used the holiday weekend to draw, scan and convert 3 new spooky typefaces, which will be available at http://www.sinisterfonts.com in a week or two. Swamp Witch and Spiderfingers were inspired by two hand-lettered logos I did in the last couple of years; Lycanthrope I just made up last night while watching An American Werewolf in London.

This list will grow as new printers are discovered/prove themselves.

Chad Savage Resigns from IAHA Board of Directors

2009-11-17T02:09:00.000-05:00

After several years of providing graphic and web design/management services for the International Association of Haunted Attractions, as well as having served on the Board of Directors for almost 2 years, I have tendered my resignation from both the Board and as the on-call designer/web guy due to the simple fact that I can't devote the time required to adequately fulfill either role anymore without penalizing my client base.

I will, of course, continue to support IAHA and its endeavors, but from now on as a vendor member.

Four New Horrid Orphans - Monsters Looking for a Home...

Chad Savage Interviewed by the Dark Artists Guild

The Dark Artists Guild has interviewed Sinister Visions' Chad Savage: http://darkartistsguild.blogspot.com/

It's (Almost) the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

2009-09-08T16:20:00.002-04:00

I love this time of year. The first wave of Halloween Props and Decorations and costumes are starting to appear in stores and online, but it's still early enough that we can look forward to seeing even more in the weeks to come.

I love being able to go to any given shopping center and perusing this year's spooky goodies, knowing that in a couple of weeks there'll be even more. September is like the appetizer for the Halloween season.

Chad Savage's Artwork on Etsy.com

I've finally taken a few moments to open a store on Etsy.com to sell original artwork and prints. Satisfy your dark art cravings at http://chadsavage.etsy.com. I'll try to add a few pieces a day, so check back often!

The Horrid Orphans - Scary Images, Friendly Prices

2009-07-22T14:59:00.002-04:00

Sometimes, it just doesn't work out.

As a designer, my job is to listen to my clients, visualize what they want to see, and then create that image.

Sometimes, I don't do it right.

Nobody's to blame; it's a dodgy process at best, and there's a lot to interpret. I'm pretty good at it, but I'm not perfect. The poor, abandoned creatures on this page are a testament to that fact; creations whose intended parents didn't love them. "Too weird", they said, or "No, now that I think about it, I want a werewolf." These poor abandoned creatures are looking for a home.

For the price indicated next to each Horrid Orphan, you will receive a high-resolution layered Photoshop file suitable for use in print, web, on TV - whatever you'd need it for. And there's no licensing or contracts - you're adopting, not leasing. That orphan will become yours, forever.

Let me make that real clear - you're buying this artwork outright, as well as the rights to use it in your marketing and advertising. These are pre-made signature characters for sale; rejected designs that are still viable, just not right for their original projects.

Look into your heart. Don't you want to give one of these hideous abominations a loving home at your haunted house or dark attraction? Let them greet the public for you and entice the unwary to your doors.

Won't somebody please think of the children? The horrible, horrible children?

3 newly-designed haunted house websites launched today, including House of Shock in New Orleans!

2009-07-06T18:58:00.002-04:00

Say hello to the all new websites for House of Shock in New Orleans, Nightmare on the Bayou in Houston and Night Stalkers in Millington, MI!

The House of Shock and Nightmare on the Bayou sites are two of the first sites to launch with the full Sinister Visions Social Networking Package, so you can see it in action.

I have a backlog of portfolio pieces to add (logos, artwork, etc.) - hopefully I can grab a moment to do so soon!

Artwork Resolution : Screen vs. Print

2009-06-14T02:06:00.003-04:00

This has come up a couple of times in the last few weeks, so I figured I'd better post about it. If you hire Sinister Visions to create a website for you, the artwork/graphics will be created specifically for the website, for screen usage. They WILL NOT be suitable for print usage, period*.

In other words, if you only hire SVi to do a website, don't think you're getting flyer art out of the deal unless you SPECIFY that AHEAD OF TIME, and it's built into your fee. SVi is happy to create your marketing artwork at high resolution for you to use however you need, but you gotta pay for it.

If you come back after the website has been launched and ask for the artwork to use on a poster or something, please expect to pay an artwork re-creation fee, as the work will have to be remade from scratch at a print-quality resolution.

Remember, there is no magic wand, here. Photoshop is not powered by fairy dust. The graphics SVi creates are pains-takingly built, layer by layer, and can't just be "blown up" 300% without serious image degradation.

*As a frame of reference, your screen uses 72 dots (pixels) per square inch to show you an image. Something printed will be a minimum of 300 dots per inch. If you've ever seen something printed from a website, you've noticed how blurry, blotchy and blocky it looks - that's because it's screen-resolution, not meant for print. If you still don't understand the concept, take a magnifying glass and look at a magazine cover - you'll see the dots; printing screen-rez images lets people "see the dots".

Haunted Houses - Where to Spend for Ads Online?

2009-06-04T15:14:00.002-04:00

I've had a couple of clients recently ask my opinion about where they should be spending their money online for featured listings and ads for the upcoming 2009 Halloween season. My first response is: I'm not the one to ask. Since I don't own a haunted house, your best bet is to ask other haunted house owners.

Having said that, however, I spend most of my day on the internet working for the haunted attraction industry, so I do have some thoughts and insights on the subject, which follow.

First, and most importantly: There is no one place you can buy an ad or featured listing that is guaranteed to work for you - different markets and geographic locations get different results from the same websites. National-level haunted house finder sites may work well in some areas, but will rank behind localized haunt finder sites in others. Take HauntedHouseChicago.com, for instance - do a search on Google or Yahoo! for pretty much any combination of the words "haunted" "house" and "Chicago", and HauntedHouseChicago.com will be the first link you see - national-level haunted house finder sites don't even rank in the first 10 results.

Obviously, not every market has a site like HauntedHouseChicago.com; many of them rely on the national-level sites for their internet traffic, and so should avail themselves of those sites.

Probably the best way to determine where you should focus your online advertising dollars is to do some test searches on Google.com and Yahoo.com. Put yourself in the headspace of the people that you want to find you online - you want people who (a) want to go to a local haunted house and (b) DO NOT already know about yours*. What words would they use to search for haunted houses in their (your) area? Do those searches yourself and see what websites come up in the top five results - those are probably where you should be buying your featured listings and ads.

Also, if you aren't using FREE sites like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and other social networking sites to promote your haunt, you're behind the curve - but I've already covered that in a previous post.

*When it comes to featured listings and ads, the name of the game is NEW customers - don't worry about the people who already know about your haunted house. They'll find you. Focus on the people who DON'T know about your haunted house - that's where you'll maximize your ad budget.

SinisterVisions.com 2009 Updates

2009-04-08T02:58:00.002-04:00

SinisterVisions.com has been significantly updated / upgraded for 2009. Besides a much simpler navigation system, the site now features a variety of helpful explanations, tutorials and links to help you, the end user, make the most of your marketing materials, websites and social media accounts.

First, there's the Define Terms page, which helps you determine the difference between a number of services/elements Sinister Visions inc. offers.

Second, there's the Help Yourself page, where you can find software and tutorials that will enable you to take command of your own web/print marketing assets.

Third, there's the new site layout and upgrade, which makes it much simpler to view SVi's previous work and inquire after your own project via the new Project Request Page.

Your Web Presence Is More Than Your Website

2009-03-10T03:32:00.005-04:00

You'll spend $5,000 - $10,000 on a radio or newspaper ad, but you're not using FREE web promotion?

A few years ago, having a website was enough. You advertised your site's URL and swapped links with other sites, and in time you could be reasonably sure your customer base would find you.

In 2009 your website is still a great start, but if you're serious about drawing people to your website (and, by extension, your event), you have to go further. You need to get your event/brand in front of people more aggressively. One of the best ways to do this is through Social Networking & Media sites.

Millions of people are logging into MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube and other similar sites daily (even hourly), looking for the things that interest them, things to do, and (most importantly) things to share with their friends. One of the driving forces behind these sites is the fact that people are able to share and discuss the things they find fun or interesting; with some strategic setup, you can make it very easy for people to find, save and share information about your business, event or attraction.

While most of these sites are free to use, expect to invest heavily in terms of time. You must provide relevant and timely information and content to them, build Contact/Friends Lists, and stay on top of messages, requests and approvals. If you are unwilling or unable to do this, there is no point in reading further.

Sinister Visions can help you set up a solid presence on key Social Network & Media sites, help you cross-wire them to each other and your website, and help kick-start your presence on the web *beyond* your website. Specifically:

http://www.myspace.com : SVi can help you create and format a MySpace page to match the look and feel of your website
http://www.facebook.com : SVi can help you set up a Facebook account and Facebook Group or Fan Page for your attraction
http://www.twitter.com : SVi can help you set up a Twitter account that feeds information and updates to your website, Facebook & MySpace
http://www.blogger.com : SVi can help you set up a Blogger.com account that feeds posts to your website, Facebook & MySpace
http://www.youtube.com : IF YOU HAVE VIDEOS TO POST, SVi can help you create and configure a YouTube page, which will allow you to post your videos to your website, Facebook & MySpace page
http://www.flickr.com : IF YOU HAVE PHOTOS TO POST, SVi can help you create and configure a Flickr photostream to feed photo content to your website, Facebook & MySpace page

These sites represent the most popular and widely-used Social Network/Media sites available, and provide a set of online publishing tools that can significantly expand your presence on the internet. All 6 of the above options have the added benefit of being able to lead people back to your website, directly and indirectly.

All of the services listed above are free to use; Flickr.com has a maximum image cap that can be removed for $25/year.

Contact Chad Savage at Sinister Visions inc. to discuss how you can put the power of Social Network & Media sites to work for you! Additional services available include setting your site up with Google Analytics, Google Friend Connect and making your site mobile phone friendly!

DISCLAIMERS: Sinister Visions inc. WILL NOT run these accounts for you. SVi will help you in account creation, configuration & customization; once they're set up, it is up to you to (a) populate them with information/video/images, and (b) expand your contact list on each service. You MUST be willing to invest the time required to build your network and content on these sites; otherwise, there's simply no point.

MySpace.com is a social networking website with an interactive, user-submitted network of friends, personal profiles, blogs, groups, photos, music, and videos for teenagers and adults internationally.

Facebook is a free-access social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc.[1] Users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region to connect and interact with other people. People can also add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves.

Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service. It enables its users to send and read other users' updates (known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length. Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. Users can send and receive updates via the Twitter website, SMS, RSS (receive only), or through a number of 3rd party applications.

Blogger.com is a web log (blog) publishing system owned by Google.com.

YouTube is a video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips.

Flickr is an image and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community platform. In addition to being a popular Web site for users to share personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository.

Rebooting 2009

2009-02-26T04:13:00.002-05:00

After weeks and weeks of dead computers, deader servers, the flu, crappy economy and the cancellation of Pushing Daisies, things are starting to even out a bit. I've posted a few recent sites to the portfolio, with more on the way pending completion.

The Dark Art Store is still offline, and the eCard gallery doesn't seem to like the new server, but most of the Sinister Sites are back up and running.

If you're in or around Chicago, there's a lot of spooky stuff going on in the near future. Head over to the recently-launched DarkChicago.com for a quick overview of upcoming creepy news & events.

Sinister Visions Banner Exchange

2009-01-23T02:19:00.004-05:00

The Sinister Visions Banner Exchange data files were severely damaged in The Great Crash of January 9th. If your site is a member of the SVBX, please go to http://www.sinistervisions.net/bp/ and rejoin. If it tells you your username is in use, then that means your account is fine; if you are able to register, then you'll need to replace the code on your site with the new account HTML code you're given.

Sorry for the trouble!

Progress

2009-01-17T14:33:00.002-05:00

I'm surprised by the number of site owners who have not moved to update their site info and/or not responded to my notification emails from Sunday/Monday. Most of those who have are already back online. The rebuilding continues apace.

Catastrophic Server Failure

2009-01-11T19:18:00.002-05:00

On Friday, January 8, Sinister Prime, the workhorse desktop computer that was the heart of the daily work of Sinister Visions inc., unexpectedly shut down with no warning or indication that anything was wrong. It has not started since, locking up at the boot screen after 2 recovery attempts ended in failure.

On Saturday, January 9, SinisterHosting.net, the dedicated server leased from HostGator.com, did effectively the same thing. After 9 hours of tech support emails and phone calls, HostGator.com informed me that the server was dead and they "would not" attempt data recovery.

So my computer and hosting server are dead. The odds of these 2 events happening less than 24 hours from each other are staggering, but happen they have.

Sinister Visions inc. is what I do for a living, all day, every day. To say that this sucks or is a setback would be a serious understatement, for both myself and my web hosting clients.

Now, having said that, I'm not an idiot. I backed up Sinister Prime every night and, thanks to that, I haven't lost any critical files. I have a powerful laptop that I bought last summer (THANK GOD). While it will take some time, I'll get all the sites back up and running, although in many cases it'll be like starting from scratch.

I will be in direct contact with hosting clients on a site-by-site/case-by-case basis to make new hosting arrangements.

I'm posting this to answer the inevitable questions that something like this will generate, and also to say that Sinister Visions will use this setback, in the long run, to make improvements and upgrades across the board. SVi is still very much open for business.

The last few weeks have seen some heartbreaking tragedies in the lives of many of my friends and colleagues; in spite of the last 48 hours, I count myself lucky that the problems I'm experiencing are with equipment and not loved ones.

FRIDAY AVALANCHE OF FAIL

2009-01-09T15:37:00.003-05:00

The primary desktop computer for Sinister Visions experienced an as-yet unidentified system failure today shortly after noon, and all attempts to start or diagnose it are failing. Thankfully, I back up all my client data and resources religiously, but I now have to (a) migrate fully over to my laptop while (b) trying to repair and revive the desktop. Please bear with me for the next couple of days - this is a serious setback if I can't get it figured out and fixed sooner rather than later. :(

Thoughts & Prayers for Texas Haunters

2008-10-22T11:04:00.003-04:00

Send your thoughts, prayers and good juju to John & Alyssa Cook and the Rotting Flesh Factory in Harlingen, Texas, whose haunted house burned halfway down just before they were to open for the season. Nobody was hurt, thankfully, but as you can imagine, this is a tough pill for them to have to swallow. The Cooks are great people and have been friends and clients of mine for years - here's hoping they're able to get back on track and open for 2009.

Costumes For Kids Charity

2008-09-25T17:01:00.001-04:00

Costumes for Kids is program designed to collect new or used costumes, make up, and more for disabled and disadvantaged children to give them the Halloween they deserve.

The program has officially launched and we are looking for haunted attractions, individuals, Halloween enthusiasts and more to donate old or unused costumes, make up, decorations, etc. These items will be distributed to children who are less fortunate, and children with disabilities requiring hard to find/fit costumes.

All we ask is that you contact us, and ship your costumes to us so we can have them cleaned and sent to the families in need to give the children a very special Halloween every year. All sizes are acceptable from infant on up.

Don't let the name fool you. We also accept make up (must be unopened), Halloween favors and decorations and such to bring the whole Halloween experience to these children and families. For more look at our Items Wanted or Needed page.

We will also have posters available to download that you can put up and start your own drive to help this cause. Not every child is able to celebrate Halloween as they should so let's give them that chance to escape hard times, disabilities and special needs by bringing them some simple joy.

Office is coming along, getting back on track.
