Thread: Graveyard Entry Columns

Tweet

Here are my new props for 2008. They are not quite done yet. I may use them to house a motion detector triggered speaker box. Better still, I can use them for storage once our day of fright is over.

Nice. How tall are they?

About 45" tall not counting the lantern. The cylinder is a 20" diameter cardbord inner diamter sleave for an aluminum sheet metal coil--free (Working in the office of a aluminum coil processing plant has a few perks).

Very creative and multitasking is a good thing too.

nice columns, any chance you can explain the motion detector speaker box?

i found them on ebay, but they are really a light sensor. if a shadow moves into the sensor range it activates the device. Here is the link.

Talking Motion Detector Security/Play! - eBay (item 180281082882 end time Aug-30-08 12:22:01 PDT)

I have some of mine hooked up to ac/dc wall adapter, which sometimes will activate the device as soon as power is turned on.

I have those talking motion detectors. They work great!
I used them last year and when I was finished, I stored them on shelves in my garage. They have gone off a few times when I wasn't expecting it. I've been startled quite a few times

how is the sound quality on them? and compared to "normal" talking volume can they be loud?

sound quality is not the greatest, nor the volume, but you they have a speaker jack that you can output to a set of powered pc speakers to increase the volumn if needed.

Here are a couple completed pics.
