You're
walking along a shadowy path, as wisps of fog form around you.
Ahead you spy what appears to be a graveyard.
A rickety fence surrounds old and weathered tombstones.
You start to hear music, coming from somewhere ahead...
and an eerie glow can be seen, getting brighter through the fog.
As you get closer, you realize you've come upon
what appears to be a burial in progress..
There's a hearse, with the casket still hanging out the back.
Suddenly, you realize you're not alone!
Someone is standing over there!
Or is there?
He's not moving!
Is he Real? Dead? Or is it a mannequin?
Welcome to the Haunted Hearse NorthWest
Show
featuring the hearse named ROSE
A 1976 Centennial Edition Sayer/Scoville Victoria Extender

Did you get a digital picture taken

Michael says:
Rose was found almost by accident. I was cruisin' the Internet Classifieds
for a new car,
and decided to look under "specialty cars".
Imagine my surprise when ROSE turned up - AND it was in Eastern Washington
to boot!
I called, and after talking to the owner for over an hour, decided I HAD
to buy her!
Rose is 22 1/2 ft long, 5 1/2 ft tall, 6 ft wide, and 2 1/2 tons of rolling
steel, with a 500 cu in 4 barrel under the hood,
built on a Cadillac Fleetwood
Limosine frame.
I've added Green Undercarriage Lights, Green and Purple interior lights,
a Crystal Skull and 9 Black Roses on the dashboard , and my favorite pet
Cat - Lucky.
The better to HAUNT you with!!
The Haunted Hearse show has evolved over the last 5 years, from a simple car
display, to a sophisticated show involving graveyard props, specialty
lighting, fog effects, and background music. Each year I try to add something
more to the show, either by upgrading an existing prop, or adding to the
show in general.
In 2005 , I jumped at the opportunity to purchase a REAL Coffin! Made
of 18 gauge steel, and weighing in at 150 pounds. It was used by the previous
owner (a 19 year old) as a BED for almost a year! He lined it with a 4
inch thick Black futon, and propped the lid open. Quite comfy!
I've repainted it, and relined it with a Camping foam Pad and WINE colored
velour upholstery cloth. A lot more room for more people!
UPDATE! Sept 2009- I just got a different coffin for Rose! This one is a Split Lid
with the liner intact! It's a little smaller, making it lighter, too!
Also, Lucky has been joined by Lazy, the sleeping Cat! He loves to lay in the Coffin!

The Mortician, or another "living mannequin" type character,
I can "hold a pose" with minimal movement, without
blinking,
So far, it hasn't happened very often!
But, be warned, please... In 2005, We added fundraising through "Photos in the Coffin" Mr. Devilin joined me in 2007!

Music
is supplied by 4 300 watt speakers, and a 200 watt self-powered Subwoofer.
2007 - I finally added the last piece of the Sound System - a 2000w 4 channel amp!
October 2009 - Finally upgraded to a GOOD CD/MP3/CD-R player, that includes USB and SDCARD adaptors
That means HOURS of nonstop music without having to mess with changing disks! OH, YEAH!
I play a lot of MIDNIGHT SYNDICATE, and NOX ARKANA, plus other various artists.
including DEATHWATCH BEETLE REPAIRMAN
listen for "The Carny of Mr Dark"!! Wait!
What's that! ROB ZOMBIE!?!
