Very nice work. Glad to see folks getting geared up again. Seeing every ones work just inspires to keep building more.

Looks good. I like "The box" I may have to steal the idea from you.

JohnF3, great work! I also checked out your home page, saw you do state park haunts, I also do that, at 2 different parks, as well as a smaller home one. Buchineerbabe also does a camping haunt, and home haunt. The portablility factor, and easy set up and tear down has to play into every thing, but every year, I get more obsessed and want bigger and better, ,while still having to fit onto a campground site. I've found corner lots are best, gives you two sides to work with! Great to see someone else that does the camping thing too!!

JohnF3 awesome job on the Monster Box and the pop up. I like them both, but I really like the idea of a prop that seems stationary. Just when you think it is safe to walk by it BOO it pops up, just enough to scare even the bigger TOT's. HEE HEE great job!

Pssssh lame.


Haha just kidding. Those are way cool. Did you really make them? The popper one is so unexpecting. Great job!

Nice! Great Monster in the box!

What did you use for controls? Pneumatics? Motors? Sound Etc! Lets see the insides!!

And very nice 4bar popup! Well done!

Great work John. I love them both, can I have them? =) How are you planning on using them in your haunt? On a motion detector?

Love them both! The pop-up almost got me!! By the name I knew it was supposed to pop up, but it just took a little longer than expected. Kinda took me by surprise.

Wow, thanks for all the great comments! These were my first pneumatic props. I built the pop up right after Christmas and th e"box" last week. Below you can see the some of the "guts". The controller is a picoBoo FI-103. The Digital sound player I made from Scary Terry's design http://www.scary-terry.com/dsr/dsr.htm
I used a solenoid to activate the fogger.
The pop up is a design by Vile Things http://www.vilethings.com/simple_pop...troduction.htm
