Meet the Panic Mechanics
Hello and welcome to our world!
We are Erin and Michael McCann: Creators and Haunters.
Erin has had a love of Halloween from childhood when her parents would build a cemetery in their front yard, make her and her brother costumes as well as dressing up themselves, and have a great time scaring trick-or-treaters.
She graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Arts with a focus in Sculpture from SIUC and has continually been improving on the mold making skills she acquired there. She also has a passion for sewing and pattern making which lend themselves well to making leather armor and other costume pieces.
Michael has also had an infatuation with Halloween from a young age when his parents would put a lot of time and effort into making costumes and doing makeup for him and his sister. He started doing special effects makeup for local film crews and was also a part of a group of people who would dress up as zombies for charitable events.
He graduated with a Bachelors of Mechanical Engineering from SIUE and has been using his engineering and problem solving skills to come up with new, more complex products. Stay tuned!

Happy Haunting!
