Anyone here bought this or seen it? Curious if it's worth 20 bucks.

I purchased it last year & another one from someone else.I was curious,but very simple stuff, I am doing the more advanced stuff.Tryed it but a waste for me.Ok if you are a beginner, it would give you some ideas to run with, it is ok & as the seller advertises,but i found the same & WAY more on monster list & haunt project.com . Not knocking the seller,they did a fair job on the dvd but i would save the money & visit monster list 7 haunt project.

I did purchase a couple of books from a guy on EBay that runs a haunt down in Mt View Ca (down south from me & never knew it...) & i found this info much worth it, The 1st book has indepth build on alot of more advanced prop making,animation,air cylinder stuff. The 2nd book is mostly on air ram,sol & programing. They sell at $35 per book or $60 for the 2. I feel that Devious Concotions really gives you your moneys worth on them. The 1st book good for beginers that are some what mech enclinded & inter/ advanced.
The books are very detail explained & both books give info on were they buy stuff from & part #'s of the outlets, which is a big plus.I always hate it when you are given the info on building something & then have to figure out all the parts info & suppliers...............
They're site even has alot of free kewl Halloween sound & music effects;

Well, I just ordered the 2 books for Devious Concotions. Can't wait to get them as I had heard alot of good stuff about them.

Malibuman, please let us know what you think about the books, I might be interested too.

Well got the books in. They are ok, but I don't think they were worth the 65 dollars I paid for them. I was hoping they were more detailed than they were.
