hey fellow haunters. I have a bunch of drawer slides, and im not quite sure what to do with them. Im experienced so i can handle something challenging. I wanted more movement in my haunt so i figured i could use drawer slides for some cool stuff. Any ideas? thanks

heres what they look like

You could put them on a platform and put an evil dog on it. Put the whole thing in a doghouse. Then, pneumatically push the platform forward and back. The dog would look like it's attacking. You could also do a giant rant, giant cockroach, zombie torso...

OOOHHH, the possibilities. Terra, I love the way your mind works!!! All of those sound great. You can also rig up cheap motors if you are like me and don't use the pneumatics LOL Sounds like you can handle it though. You could use them to "literally" move drawers in a haunted dresser or move books on a shelf. Make a peeper from behind a tombstone. I have a pirate that seems to be climbing out of a barrel, I used a similar contraption but a slider would be even better I think. Great, now my head is spinning again. HEHE Have fun with it.
