Can somebody direct me to some pics and maybe step-by-step instructions or advice for electric chair props they have made in the past? I think that is going to be the prop I build for this Halloween.

I'm probably not going to make it "live" or anything like that.... what I'm thinking is letting trick r' treaters sit down in it and take a picture or I'm just going to put a skeleton or dummy in it.

Thanks.

Here is an Electric chair I built in 2008.
If you have any questions I will be happy to answer them.
The dummy is made out of pvc. There is a drill mounted to the bottom of the chair with a piston mounted in the chuck to make the dummy move up and down. The drill when mounted to the bottom of the chair makes a the great sound. I had kids taking pictures with him all night. If you didn't want to put a dummy in there and wanted have the kids sit in it. Mount the drill to the bottom anyhow. When you turn it on the vibration from the seat and the sound really scares them. They will come flying off the seat. LOL
Anyhow here is the link

Good luck

Heres a pic of the electric chair so far still have put a dummy and a drill on it. Sorry about the other soon coming prop on the chair.

That is awesome!

I'm sure I'll have lots of questions as I started actually trying to build something like that.

Here is my electric chair tutorial that I posted last week.
I have some basic dimensions and construction info.

I'm assuming that the tuperwear attached to the sander is to increase the sound it makes?

Yea
I guess I forgot to explain that.
I was kinda of quite until I did that.

Looks great. Can you feel the sander vibrating when you sit in the chair. Is it enough to give someone the impression of an electrical shock at first?

Here is my shot at building one of these...

You can feel the sander a lot.
I didn't expect to be able to feel it. I only wanted the sound.
The entire base of the chair vibrates.
