Any pointers will help thanks and here's a pic of front of my house to give you an idea of what window's i will be projecting in


floating head at top of my stairs

I used a Sharper Image projector that was fairly cheap & it worked & impressed everyone.

I myself have never done it but you have the most perfect windows for it! Best of luck to ya!

I got a lcd projecter off odf ebay for less than 300 it was a china company but I have used it for two seasons and it works great!
What did you use for the floating head?

i actually put a tv on top part of my stairs where you cant see it facing at plexy glass that was on a 45 degree angle and you couldnt even tell looked like it was floating in front of gate keeper guy, it was a huge hit and it was video that had different faces that talk. but next year we want to do the hallowindows in my top windows, thanks for the pointers

Floating head effect was provided by BigscreamTV...one of the forums sponsered sites!

I agree with halloween71, eBay is a great place to start looking.

I have the bigscreams but have never used them.I got them new off of ebay for 8.00 total.I like what you did with it.

thanks again for input will check out ebay to find projector, and yes that is the video i have. it worked great

I'm looking for a projector for Hallowindow also. Here's some input I got from others that have used it regarding what projector specs to consider:

video projector suggestions?

The biggest factor seemed to depend upon how much ambient light you had to deal with (eg. nearby street light, using it at dusk, or fairly dark).
