Yesterday I wrote about Week in Weird’s Tin Foil Hat Challenge. What a hoot! I had a lot of fun fashioning a tin foil hat for both myself and Skellie.
Oh who am I kidding? The challenge gave me a great excuse to goof off. Some people play with dolls. I have a skeleton. Any chance I get to dress it up or pose with it? On it!
But there’s something else I like to play with: my phone.
Specifically a great new-to-me app I found called FXGuru. This app is just too cool.
Here are a few of the categories you can choose from:
- Horror
- Holiday
- Weapons
- Ultimate Fan
- People
- Sci-Fi
- Animals
- Disasters
- Vehicles
Each category has from six to 30+ scenes.
Of course the Horror is probably my favorite. Ghosts, zombies, werewolves…even a Bigfoot scene! What’s not to love?
I’ve been having big fun experimenting with some of the different effects in different settings. (I submit into evidence Exhibit A: The Haunted Cooler and Exhibit B: Pool Demon.)
The Tin Foil Hat Challenge inspired me to use one of the Sci-Fi UFO scenes to create a mini video.
I picked a couple of Skellie and I’s tin foil hat shots, used another new-to-me app I’m digging, Videorama, selected the FXGuru UFO Arrival scene and in about 10 minutes I had pieced together the Tin Foil Hat Invasion.

On the Tin Foil Hat Challenge post, Greg Newkirk included a disclaimer: “Just a fair warning – tin foil helmets actually increase the signal…”
No joke. Here’s proof positive:
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
