Update: Homemade Horror

Once again I find myself with a lack of a working computer, a wireless connection and the time to give full attention to this blogspot.  I am working on getting a website going which will replace this site and make it easier to view and order from Homemade Horror.  Thank you for your patronage and patience.  :)

For now, the easiest way to keep up is on the Facebook page.  I can update that regularly with my super smart phone.  Thanks, everyone!

Here they are!  These are prototype sculpts that are being molded/cast and will be painted over the next few months.  They are Harry Warden, The Troll, Dead Alive Baby, Halloween 3 Kid, Audrey II's head and another Critter with stuffed E.T.
I hope you enjoy!  More final pics will follow as soon as I get them completed. - G

Relaunch of Homemade Horror

Sooo... It's been awhile since I've updated this site. I'm here to apologize, beg forgiveness and start anew. My last show was almost a year ago. I've had some personal issues to deal with so I hung up the sculpting tools and paintbrushes for quite some time. Fear Not! I've started again and will be back to doing conventions by the fall. I'm really excited about the new figures. I've posted some pics on Facebook already, but I promise I will post some pics here this weekend for those that despise FB or can't surf it at work!! Thank you to everybody for your patience and support. -Gabe

Flashback Weekend Update

Wanted to let everyone know I've had to cancel my Flashback Weekend appearance. Thanks to Shawn at Knee-High Horror for helping me out. I'm going to try and show up on Friday and hang out at the show. On a brighter note, I'll have more time to work on new stuff for the next show (yet to be determined) Thanks - Gabe

 Thanks everyone for a great weekend!  We got a lot of great responses to the figures, busts and Karbonite Killers.  Stay tuned for more.  Special thanks to my good buddy, John Harwood for being my right-hand man at the booth and especially to my wife and son for being so patient as I sculpted and painted for hours on end to get ready for this show.

Gabe LaPeer is a sculptor/ graphic designer/ illustrator with a love of "Genre" films.  Homemade Horror is a place to showcase some of his work.  Gabe makes custom designs and action-figures with a slant towards the dark and gruesome.  "I try to stick to designs and figures that I know the bigger companies like NECA, McFarlane and Mezco will probably never do and the licenses like Stephen King that may never be available."  This Fan Site and his Homemade horror Facebook Fan Page will be updated frequently with photos of what Gabe is working on and allow others to weigh in and make suggestions.   Specifically, the blog will probably have more photos of in-progress sculpts, paints and discussions.
