Here is my "low tech" setup for my Goul peeking out the window each Halloween...

I love it! Simple, yet very effective. Very nice!!!

Subtle effect.

This brings up one of the the things a few friends were discussing about this years haunt. We had so many things going on that a lot of the details were missed. Just the sound alone was very disorienting because we had 4 different sound sources going in different locations around the yard. One of our friends had to take his mother home because she couldn't figure out where she was at after about fifteen minutes. I was disappointed at the end of the evening that hardly anyone noticed the pepper's ghost in the corner because everyone's attention was drawn to the other side where the crystal ball, grim reaper, FCG, and laser vortex were located. Once I pointed the ghost out people freaked and said, "No way, that's crazy". But, 80% of the people walked by looking the other way.

My point being, I'd probably have to point this rather clever device out to the TOTers.

Great job - I'll be adding that to my list even if I'm the only one who knows it's there.

...hardly anyone noticed...

Not everyone sees it, but when they do that makes it all worth while. I have a flashing orange light in the window above with "Haunted House" sign and this year bought a Grim Reaper to set next to the window to draw more attention that direction.

the goul looking out the window is simple, but I think works very well. Nice job.

Awesome job on such simple prop. Looks like it's opening the curtain. I like this .

Brilliant!

That's great! Super simple and very effective. Nice work.
It's kind of like the grim reaper's taking a "potty break", but still checking out the window for more victims.

I love that! What a great effect and simply done. Adding that for next year in an upstairs window. Thanks for posting this!

'low teck' just my speed! lol
