Thread: Hallowindow 2008 in production

Tweet

Glad to be relaxing tonight. Thought I would log back on and post more comments. Ran the Eyeball Wednesday, Spiders Thursday, and ended up running Halloween Zero on Halloween night. We didn't run speakers this year because it rained. Hope it doesn't rain next year or must find a way to add outdoor speakers. Last year we had 40 ToTs, this year 125 plus. We also ran out of candy and hubby had to go out twice to get more. I received so many unsolicited "love your decorations (specifically the movie one)" "You have the best house this year" "my daughter has been watching your window for a few days now from her bedroom, didn't want to go to sleep, couldn't get her to stop watching the spiders" were just some of the comments I remember. The few times I ventured out from the front door area I saw people congregated on the street watching it.

Our house is at a bend in the road and anyone driving down the street faces it as they come to the corner so it gets pretty good exposure. Hubby took some pics late Friday night (but he's not that good with the camera and I haven't seen them yet) but I'll post them and link to them soon.

Hubby was talking to some of the guys in the office last week and they were discussing what everyone was doing for Halloween. Turns out another guy he works with had ordered Hallowindows and was using it this year too. This probably was the best money spent for Halloween.

If you have a Hallowindow III next year, I for one will order one. I would go for a Christmas one also.

Thanks Mark! Hallowindow was a big hit at our haunt as well. I'm looking forward to next year!

One thought on a desired feature for next year... it would be great to have an option that would cycle all the Hallowindow main sequences (I guess that will be three for next year). That way we don't have to choose and the show is always changing as well.

Thanks again!

Mark,
Excellent Job! The kids really loved the video, we had over 400 kids and they were just ahhhhed by it. They kept asking me how I did it? Thanks again and yes to put me down for 2009 versions.

If you do a Christmas animation dont forget to post it here:
Forums of PlanetChristmas

would there be sound on a christmas animation??

Mark,

Count me in for the Christmas version!!!

I wanted to thank you again for Hallowindow. It was a huge hit Halloween night. The kids had a great time. They all commented on how I always have the coolest house on Halloween night

My family is thoroughly enjoying our new projector. I would have never considered purchasing a projector if it had not been for Hallowindow. I just can't thank you enough!!
I had budgeted for Halloween in a box, but I used the money to buy a projector for Hallowindow. I thought the projector would offer more possibilities. Boy, was right
Saturday, I used the projector to display Halloween movies for the family on a large wall in my family room. It was like sitting in a movie theater. We couldn't be happier with my new toy.

Monday the neighbor across the street saw me at my car and came over and said how much she loved our window. Asked me where to get it from (told her but hope we're not going to be competing with the same images if she buys one!). She said she hardly had any ToTs and had lots of left over candy. Guess everyone came to our house instead because we had over 125!!

Tuesday morning we were getting into our car and another neighbor was walking her dog. Waved and yelled out that she loved our window alot.

Just had to say that the compliments keep coming even after Halloween...

Here is a picture with hallowindow in the backround. Worked great except my projector kept heating up and shutting off every 11/2 hours.

Finally here's a few photos of our windows from Halloween 2008. It rained here Halloween so I didn't set up much in the way of outdoor decorations this year, but the windows of our house looked great and brought the Trick or Treaters out.

Thank you so much Mark! I received phone calls from my neighbors "play the eyeball again!"
