Sorry for my long abscents, but I was fighting an illness that I hope I have finally defeated.But enough of that, As always I am looking for some special help. In 2008 I am not doing one haunted trail, but two. I have been very lucky the last several years and have had a Univ.of Toledo faternity help by being actors. My fear is that I may not always have them,altough they are not the only actors I have. What I wanted to know if anyone con direct me to a good book or site that I can learn about building animated props. I am fairly handy,but just don't understand the switching on and off and how to control the tome or things like that. Hope ypu can help. Thanks, Rick

hi rick, i don't know if we've met yet, the're are lots of newbies!

Hey, Rick, good to hear that you're doing well. Welcome back!

Rick,
Welcome back to the dark side! :-)

Hello and welcome back! Nice to meet you!

Somebody told me this was a good book:
Amazon.com: Animatronics: Guide to Holiday Displays: Books: Edwin Wise

If you like to read and need a book,it might be worth buying.

Everything I ever learned was here or hauntforum, mostly people linking to sites like the monsterlist. The Interweb has everything - usually several. I like to take pieces from projects that I like, combine them and make my own modifications.

Tell us what you want to build and we can direct you to some great sites. There may be how-to's on this site already!

Wilbert, I have that book and it is okay,but I need a lot of help with the triggering. It is extremely dark on the trails I haunt and I think it may cause trouble.
