Thread: need help making a timer activation thingy for this prop.

Tweet

This is the prop in question:

http://www.halloweenasylum.com/evil_entity.html

It says it has a motion sensor but after a few emails with Halloween Asylum we discovered that that is not the case.
It's a great prop and I don't want to return it but I also don't want it running all the time continuously.
HA has given me the option to return it.
I'm happy with them as far as all that goes.

But if I keep it, any ideas of how i can make it run every few minutes or better yet add a motion activation sensor myself?

Thanks!

AAIGH! I hate this new forums reply system. I have lost no less than 4 replies now by clicking the wrong button.

Short, I'm not retyping everything version:

NICE!
Is it motion?
Is it sold in a Home Depot/hardware type store?

yeah motion. Ya might not find the exact same one, but you should be able to find em at most stores.

So does Evil Entity run continuously? Or is it sound activated? Also how would this work with other props that have a motion sensor like the Flesh Eating Zombie but are a pain in the ass to trigger due to where the sensor is?

icyuod2, I bought the one you posed on Amazon. I think it might actually work out better for me. I want this up on a small rise of ground next to my driveway. This sensor plug will allow me to have it activate from a farther away distance (driveway) than if it was built in to the "Evil Entity".
Thanks!

MrModrid, it runs continuously when plugged in. There is no sensor option. It was mistakenly described on the website.
