Thread: Halloween Doorbell 2.0

Tweet

So I wanted to do something different this year with the doorbell. I brainstormed a bit and came up with this idea. What if there was a skeleton sitting next to the door which spoke to you when you pushed the doorbell? Even better, what if there wasn't just 1 doorbell, but several - and only one was the actual doorbell? Well, here it is - the Halloween Doorbell 2.0.

I want to give a BIG thanks to AZDude for being kind enough to provide the audio board for this project!! Thanks!

That is awesome! So creative! I have never seen anything like this--so much better than any store-bought prop out there!

I motion for a step-by-step.

Also, you've gotta post stuff like this a lot earlier! I'd have absolutely made this with a little more time! That's priceless!

That is awesome ! Please post a "How to ".

Thanks! I'll see if I can break down the steps (I'm terrible at how-tos as I never know what I'm doing when I actually start making this stuff) It was pretty simple though so I should be able to break it down a bit and post a how-to.

I still need a sign or something to tell people to push the eyeballs. I have been trying to think of something that I could put on there that would keep in the "apartment buzzer" type theme for this. Any ideas? I hate to say "push the eyeball" but I may have to resort to that.

Would you please reference the audio card used in the prop?

that's pretty freakin sweet!

Really cool and unique!

It was an audio board customized by azdude on this forum

You can see the board on my website here. Jared wanted each of the 6 buttons on his doorbell to play a specific audio track so I did a simple modification to the standard board that we offer to accomodate what Jared wanted. If anyone else is interested in this you can just PM me.
