Thread: Bring my casket to life

Tweet

I looking for ideas and suggestions. I have a real casket, and im trying to decide if i want to make the lid pop open or have the lid open and have my guy lift up. Either way both would be my first animatronic prop, so any suggestions would be outstanding. Thank you everyone in advance for you suggestions !!!

I'd go for the lid to open slowly, then a pause of 5 seconds or so and then the guy sits up quickly allong with the appropriate sound effects creaking door sound....loud scream suggest trying the Pico Boo 105 controller from fright Ideas.

Thank you so much ready the info. Reading this right now & sounds good. Love the Idea that would really get the scare Im looking for !!!

I agree a slow opening and a quick scare!!

Now I just need to figure out the best way to make it move.

pneumatics for the quick lift is the way to go. you could also use it to lift the lid but would have to use some flow control valves to make it lift slowly, or you could use some type of electric gear motor.
