Irondequoit, N.Y. ? Instead of clay or wood, sculptor Larry Moss prefers a highly malleable but far less durable material: balloons.

Moss typically creates air-filled models of humans, animals and monsters, but his latest piece of performance art is even spookier: a 10-room, 10,000-square-foot, walk-through haunted house made out of 130,000 latex balloons covering everything but the floors and ceilings.

The Balloon Manor and its inhabitants – quirky, hilarious and somewhat creepy Halloween creatures – fill a wing of the Medley Centre mall in this Rochester suburb.

Its “boo-loon” show opened Friday and runs through next weekend. That’s about as long as the artwork can last – with periodic infusions of air.

The entrance is a dragon’s mouth, complete with a giant uvula that tickles visitors’ heads. There’s a motorized carousel of galloping insects, dragons and vultures, all ridden by undersized skeletons, and a Model T Ford that looks like it has long ghostly white arms.

An inflated balloon character of Balloon Manor waits this week to be placed in the slightly haunted castle built inside the Medley Centre in Irondequoit, N.Y.

In a nearby “beastro,” two vampires hang upside down eating off an upturned table, and a ghostly chicken plays the role of “poultry-geist.” In the kennel room, cages full of critters are trying to lock horns, claws and fangs through the bars. The crystal ballroom features flying and disco-dancing skeletons.

More than 50 balloon artists from across the country and as far away as Japan and Israel helped build the manor, all employing their own styles.

The tour is expected to draw up to 15,000 people and raise as much as $50,000 for a hospital cancer center and the Teens Living with Cancer support group.
