Here are a couple pics of my winged greeter that was above the crypt.

Awesome, I love the video! How tall is that killer prop?

Nice! I hadn't realized it was animated from the pics.

Wowww! Looks really high up and tall! Like it's a bird looking for prey.

awesome!! what did you use to animate the wings? Also, great crypt!!

Do you have a picture of the back that would show the way you animated that? Thanks

Its operated by a single pneumatic cylinder (3/4" x 8") the frame is made from alum flat bar and a 3/8" dia alum rod. Its mounted on two 10' steel pipes. I used VSA to control the whole routine, which starts with the fly crank ghost in the crypt...then it stops and there is a bell strik when one spot light goes on, a second gong with a second spot light then the wings open on the third gong followed by "dear guests do come in" then it loops back to the fcg. I wanted it high but I was almost too high as some didn't notice it so I either need to lower it next year or use brighter spot lights to draw attention to it. As for the body its a hanging reaper I got from k-mart on clearance.
