Tweet

Hi, first timer on the forum, but We've been haunting seriously since 2001. I'm attaching a link to a quick video highlighting this year's Hallween display.
PS. We are in Calgary, Canada...

Actually, look to the next post for the video and still photo links...

Cheers!

Hi John , welcome to the forum , nice to see another fellow Canadian if you hang out here 365 days a year you'll get hooked ,meet awsome peoples , and get tons of help and ideas .

your haunt looks really cool , my favorite is the werewolf .

Thanks for your kind remarks, and for the warm welcome. The werewolf started life as a robotic chimpanzee head that I hacked into its present state. Sadly the main body movement, sort of an oscillating fan back and forth, died on me Halloween morn, and I didnt have time to fix it. But the rest of the facial movements worked, thankfully. The real hit of the night was the Gemmy animated Witch (from Shoppers Drug Mart). She came with a wireless mic, so you could talk through her speaker, and she would lip sync to your speech. We had sooo much fun with that.!

Wow!
Amazing animatronics! Love the walking props! Nice work!

Very well done, I like your FC Skelton. Have you ever thought about adding 2 more pulleys for the knees?

Hi John, fantastic haunt, well done. And welcome to the forum

That is so funny that you should ask that, I was thinking about doing that the day before Hallowe'en, but i had no time to work on it...all i had to do is drilla couple more holes and add 2 pulleys. Next year for sure!
