I do a yard haunt every year for the last 4 years. I have built static props for years but want to animate a few props this year. I have a coffin made of light plywood. I want to use a motor to open the lid to look like someone is trying to get out. You will see skeleton arms lifting the lid and then closing it again. I am looking for a motor that can lift the plywood lid about 6 inches and close it again on a continous basis. I assume I need a low rpm ac motor that has high torque. I have seen some new motors for $50 bucks. I was hoping to spend less. I have not built a motorized prop and would appreciate any advice on the type of motor and where to get the motor at a reasonable price. Thanks for your assistance. ]]> Halloween Props foolishmortal42 http://www.halloweenforum.com/halloween-props/94303-where-buy-motor.html Mechanical: My 2010 Legless Walker Prop but with Endtrails http://www.halloweenforum.com/halloween-props/94298-my-2010-legless-walker-prop-but-endtrails.html Mon, 06 Sep 2010 01:25:56 GMT Ok, I updated my Legless Old Man Walker and added endtrails.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=570m3cKUo4w Ok, I updated my Legless Old Man Walker and added endtrails....

I will not buiy another cheap butt fogger again. Seems like i have to buy the stupid things every year. I take care of the darn things to boot. I do proper maintenance using the recommended fog cleaning fluid. (i think it is a ploy jsut to mess up the fogger in the first place.)

I am buying a darn good one that you can service the parts of next time. Maybe a couple continuos foggers. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

Oh two bad morors and the one i really wanted I fixed the motor but i think the heat exchanger is clogged.. :( ]]> Halloween Props zleviticus http://www.halloweenforum.com/halloween-props/94295-3-dead-foggers-3-dead-foggers-see-how-they-dont-fog.html Electronic/Software: Talking Busts from sams club http://www.halloweenforum.com/halloween-props/94294-talking-busts-sams-club.html Mon, 06 Sep 2010 00:17:47 GMT We just picked up the Talking Busts Prop from Sams Club. If you haven't seen them, there is a man and woman busts that say several interactive phrases with each other. Besides talking, the mouths move, the heads turn, and the eyes light up. They are motion activated and have 4 or 5 mini conversations between each other while addressing the audience. There is a long wire that runs between the busts, as well as a power cord going to one bust. The cost was $75 which is pretty good for a prop that has as much potential for hacking as this one. ]]> Halloween Props tbird7 http://www.halloweenforum.com/halloween-props/94294-talking-busts-sams-club.html Other: Caged beast from spirit video http://www.halloweenforum.com/halloween-props/94293-caged-beast-spirit-video.html Mon, 06 Sep 2010 00:14:29 GMT tought i would share a few videos of the caged beast werewolf from spirit halloween , i think he is very cool :D the only downside is it is sound... tought i would share a few videos of the caged beast werewolf from spirit halloween , i think he is very cool :D the only downside is it is sound triggered :( wish the foot pad would have plugged in him ...also just a note aside the cage is made of real wood top and bottom and it is real metal rods not pvc or plastic so it is heavy .

I thought I would try and use the little vent motor from one of the surplus houses for $2.99 plus shipping. I got 8 of them so here is another way to use it. I also slowed it down with a 9 volt battery. It runs close to 3 rpm. It's been running for 4 hours and still going! I need to put in a brand new battery and see how long she'll run. I really like these little motors. To mount the crank, run a 1/4-20 tap down the center of the motor shaft. It goes pretty deep which is a good thing. Tap it to the bottom. Cut off a length of 1/4-20 allthread and run it to the bottom of the shaft. Put a nut on top and add your crank arm. Easy peasy. Oh, the ghostie was purchased a couple years ago at Walgreens. Just added wire arms. click the pic!

I have three witched and one of my witches will be a little different from the rest... this one I want it to represent a different kind of witch. But I am having a problem with the design... I looked up voodoo priestess, gypsy costume, witch doctor... but they just don't have the look I need.
The closest thing that comes close to my vision is the gypsy costume. I wonder if anyone has made a prop with a Southern Bayou witch theme in mind? I am interested of how this look was accomplished?

I bought one of those 'Enter If You Dare' signs at Dollar Tree, because
a) I'm too lazy to make one;
b) I don't have anymore foam; &
c) I'm really stalling on making a fog chiller...
