Default Sneak Peek: Castle of Terra '09

Finally got all the pneumatic props done and running. So, before I packed it up to go into the garage I thought I'd give you all a sneak peek of Castle of Terra: Vampyr Reign.

Or, as I like to call it...Remote Control of Fear!


Here's two new props that I haven't shown yet. Post-Apocalyptic pneumatic werewolf:








Snakes nesting around a pneumatic ankle tickler:








I've just started working on the 3D ChromaDepth panels. Yep, 3D baby! (but you need the glasses to see how super cool it is):

Oh Terra, you never fail to amaze and stupify me. You have so much talent girl! The props are out of this world great. As much as I love the props I'm not sure I'd have the time (or funds) to set up and run things off of a computer like you and others on here on the forum do. I love to watch though and live vicariously. Now the 3-D blacklight painting is something ultra cool too and more do-able for me I think. Hope when you have a chance down the road you can do a tutorial on it unless you have already in which case please point me to it. I'd love to learn more about it. You mentioned glasses. I assume you need to supply these to haunt goers and collect them at the end of the haunt? Tell us more. Until then, I'll replay your video over and over again.....

Wow thanks

Count, loving' the skele too. He reminds me of the zombies in Heavy Metal:



Thanks Spookie, that was so nice to say. Yes, you need a new type of 3D glasses for the effect. ChromaDepth 3D is what the pro-haunts use and I experienced it for the first time at Transworld. I was just blown away with the effects. I am not kidding about the reds looking like they are hovering 2 feet from the surface of the panels. To top it off, if you do the effect on the floor it really weirds you out. You find yourself lifting up your leg to go over the red images. Too freaky:





I will hand the glasses out just before they enter the 3D section and I hope I get most of them back. I found a source that I could get them for 50 cents each (but had to get a big minimum order) so if some of the kids keep them, that that'll be their treat which is okay by me.

Thanks for showing all that, Terra! Now all that looks like Mission Control for NASA to me.
I'm clueless! I'm glad you have it all figured out!
It all looks awesome and that skeleton is wicked! Great setup!
And Terra DMX is the icing on the cake!
