    Default Animated corpse and dungeon cell – 07-23-2010,04:39 AM


    The original purpose of this project was to just block off the end of our hallway for our party. It then took on a life of its own. When I began to expand the display I decided to see how low I could keep the cost. My requirements were that I wanted a dungeon cell with a corpsed skeleton that was animated and had triggered sound. With the help of many people including Fritz42 who designed the VLC picaxe board that controls the head movement servo, Otaku who designed the board to use and trigger the audio board, Stolloween for his foam painting hints and Jaybo for sharing his rusting technique, and everyone that offered suggestions on how to make improvements, it came together under budget. The entire display cost under $125 which included everything although a few items like the skulls on the floor, the colored light bulbs and the manacles were garage sale finds.
    I’m so grateful for all those here that are willing to share their ideas and expertise to help everyone make Halloween the best it can be!

    Nice work! Now thats the way to use dead space, or isle ends and get a bang for your buck and space. The prop looks great. Makes you proud when an idea works out so well doesn't it?
    EVERY DAY TO ME IS HALLOWEEN!
