Today I came up with this idea. A Tim "the tool man" Taylor zombie from the old TV show "Home Improvement" He will be plugging two wires together and getting electrocuted. I'm thinking of putting bulbs in him to make him glow from the inside and use a motor to make him shake.

I am planning on making a couple of ground breaker coffins and some more wooden tombstones to add to my display for next year.....

I want a carnival theme and have no carnival props! I guess I have a lot of things to build.

I have already started three projects for next year, and planning to start two more in the next week. A grave peeper, modifying my coffin from a wiper motor to a pneumatic cylinder, and a flying vampire bride.

I have dedicated this year to learning how to use DMX. My first project will be a monster in a box, I'm thinking of a MIB scene with a couple moving zombie dogs with busted up kennels.
Then maybe I can start on my electrocution chair that I wanted to make last year.
Meanwhile my wife wants to make a Beloved tombstone and probably another one, but have not decided on what yet.

A pumpkin head scarecrow is number one on my to-do list, then comes a tree monster, FCG, fence, coffin/toe pincher coffin, ground breaker?, tombstones.

They started in order then just went into ideas of what I would like to get to eventually sometime this year. I am currently searching for a really CHEAP wiper motor to use for an FCG or any other motor that might work well. Anyone have any suggestions where to get a dirt cheap one?

I plan to probably make the fence, coffin/toe pincher coffin out of pallet wood off of craigslist for free. I just need my friend with a truck to come back from college first! Ha.
