Thread: Need help looking for Ghost screensaver or video

Tweet

Halloooo! I am on a quest to find a simple video or screensaver of ghosts flying with no background. Last year, I made a DVD with matching soundtrack that had great effects that I projected into the cobwebs in front of my house (my "screen"). It worked out so well, I'm planning on adding a second projector (borrowed from my brother) so that I can project ghosts flying above my gravestones in my graveyard. However, I'm having a bit of difficulty finding JUST ghosts flying.

If anyone has any leads on free (if possible) or cheap ghosts flying in a short clip that I can loop or a screensaver with black/no background, I'd very much appreciate it! I'd rather not go through the difficulty of making my own video and not sure if I have the skill to do so.

I'm a father of four and nearly broke all the time so DIY is the only way for me to improve my decorations every year currently. I've been able to make a coffin lamp and I have two other projects in mid build (a seven foot tall grim reaper that I found in the tutorial section with some added mods of fog machine and LED eyes that blink along with a red glow that comes from the faceless creature. I also am ready for paint on my newly created castle walls which I plan to finish this weekend.

Happy Haunting and thanks in advance!

P.S. That Mud Monster grim reaper build was tougher than it looked...at least to me.

There was a DVD available for a dollar at the local Party City store, it is called "BOO!" and it is ghosts flying mostly up, on a cloudy or rainy backdrop as I recall. The ghosts themselves look very 2D animated (i.e. clean and sharp, cartoonlike) and fly across the screen pretty fast, occasionally doing a sort of gag. A bit on the humorous side more than scary. This is the closest thing I know of to what you are describing...

Thanks. I will definitely check it out. Maybe I can edit out the goofy parts. 2D won't be that much of an issue as the cobwebs are not a "solid" screen anyway.

Any other suggestions still welcome!

Hi-rez designs has one.

It is $50 though.

I actually made my own by downloading videos of flying crank ghosts from youtube and blakcing everything but the ghosts.

Try hallowindow. i think it may have the ghosts you need. Only 20 bucks i think and well worth it

You can download just the ghost part of the video for $4 Canadian. Don't know what that is in US $ but it might be cheaper.

Great guys! Thanks for the leads. I didn't realize that Hallowindow was so cheap. I thought it was like $80. I think I'll try and buy just the one part if that's possible and then bite the bullet to buy the whole thing if I can't.

The Hallowindow Ghost short clip was PERFECT. No background, great looking ghosts with a nice atmospheric audio background. and at $4, the price is excellent! It will spooktacular behind my gravestones! Thanks for the help all and Fidelio, thank you again. You've helped make my display this year.

Now, it's time to go paint my skeleton hands and get my Grim Reaper closer to finish!

You're welcome. Glad I could help. Post up a video when you get it done.
