Thread: My first Haunt videos finally up!

Tweet

This year was my first real haunt I started stuff in September and barely finished every thing I had planned in time for my party on the 23rd. I built a whole bunch of stuff most of it came out pretty good if I say so myself. A lot of stuff from the backyard was moved to the front yard for Halloween day. Also I was pretty buzzed when I took these videos so please excuse the commentary.

Stuff I built:
-Tombstone poppers using the $3 gear motors
-FCG also built from the the $3 gear motor along with 2x4s, eyebolts, and fishing weights for a counter weight
-Grave Grabber using a shiatsu massager, activated by a cheap walmart motion detector
-Skeleton fountain from a Big Lots skeleton and a water fountain, cauldron, and mister
-Rustic crosses from leftover pallet wood
-Hot glue webgun (but you can't really see it in any videos)
-Fog chiller with a 5 gallon bucket filled with ice and a 4" tube filled with frozen water bottles.
-Front window animation was from hallowindow.com projected on a shower curtain with computer speakers out front for audio.
-Side window eyeballs were also hallowindow.com using 3 computer monitors and a piece of black plastic with holes cut in it.

I don't really have many pictures I am getting a new camera very soon so more pictures will be taken next year. If anybody has any questions please ask, I didn't do anything super innovative but I know I had some questions and issues building all of this stuff. Of course many thanks to tons of members on this board that have posted walkthroughs and prop ideas and answered any questions I might of had along the way. I am pretty handy but I could never think of half the the stuff people do here.

Great Stuff! Keep on Huanting!

Awesome haunt. Great job at the props.

Great job on your haunt. Really enjoyed the videos

Nice, cherry popping haunt.

Very cool stuff! I love the windows. Must have been fun removing all the spider webs after halloween.

The webs are easy just grab and pull. Getting everything else put away was the pain. I am still finding stuff that needs to go up in the attic. I went out the day after Halloween and bought a whole bunch of webbing 75% off so I should be set for next year.

Nice work, I enjoyed both videos and you did a good job on all your stuff.Now you have a lot of months to build for next year.
