Thread: Hacking Various "Heads"

Tweet

I've seen several threads regarding a hack for one talking head or another. I've followed them all to the end only to come up lacking a definitive "how to" on getting it to work.

I have the following talking "heads" that I want to be able to supply my own audio for, and have the jaws move in unison with my audio:

1 14" Spirit Ball (witch)
1 10" Spitit Ball (zombie looking thing)
2 Gemmy Lantern skulls
1 Mr. Clock Radio

If anyone can provide a link to a detailed thread telling me how to successfully hack any or all of these items, I would be eternally gratefull.

I know you saw my thread on hacking a gemmy lantern here:http://www.hauntforum.com/showthread.php?t=6652

While not a how-to, I can tell you it is very easy to do. Just remove the base and locate the 4 wires coming out of the skull. Those are the motor and LED eyes wires. Get a resistor (I'm sorry I can't remember what kind) and wire it in series along one of the LED wires. Hook up the 4 wires, (one has a resistor on it now) to the cicuit(s) mentioned in the thread. It's easier then it sounds.

While not specific to these props, here is a link that may help:
