Halloween 09:

A few more automated props, some store bought and some otherwise.

This little guy was built with a reindeer motor and some scraps. Peeps his head back and forth looking around the tombstone.

I got this guy at an auction for 20 bucks:

This one has an offset motor in it, so it shakes when you get close:

Some random props I've built but never really used:

Sentinel Spheres:

And the big project. The plan was to make a "tall man" that lunged out of his casket, but the casket took waaaaay too long to build so I made a random dummy and stuffed him in there. I never have got back to this project due to family issues creeping up every single Halloween since, but I eventually will:

Ok 10 is up next

Howard_Casto:
Halloween 10

This is the year real life stuff really started getting in the way, so I didn't add anything new. Just two pics:

As you can see, my home-made tombstone collection had expanded over the last couple of years.

Also they casket got converted to wood because the black plastic was just too flimsy:

That's it. 11 is next, which was the last year I really did it right.

Howard_Casto:
Ok, not a whole lot of new stuff in 11, but I really upped the presentation of what I had.

Here is the shot of the house with my store-bought "butler" dummy and my homemade Michael Myers, which for some unknown reason scared the crap out of the kids:

I spent that summer making a jointed, *almost freestanding joint system for all my dummies. This is why MM stands on his own.

The real thing that showed it off though was FvJ:

Unfortunately we had a huge rain storm the night before, and Freddy's stuffing kind of melted, which made him look a little fake. Jason survived though.

And that's about it. We had a mega storm last year and the power was out, so no pics.

Surely somebody else has done something worth posting compared to my failed attempts.

Oh here are links to my albums. Tons more "behind the scenes" pics in there if anyone is hard-up for entertainment.
