    I'm just about done with my Cauldron Creep...you can see the general setup in the clip, but, in general:

    PVC frame
    wiper motor
    ATX power supply on 5v rail
    plastic skeleton hands and skull coated with cotton-coated latex
    chicken wire and monster mud cauldron, Great Stuff drippings
    Green glow paint
    400w fogger

    I'll post more pix and vids in the dark...still need to add bubbling noise, inside light, and a wood pile around it with twinkling orange lights (fire).

    This is my first animatronic...pretty happy with it for a first effort. I did kill one motor while trying to figure out what the heck I was doing, luckily I had foresight into my own clumsiness and bought two from mguts.

    Yeah, you really need to add a chiller so the fog doesn't rise up and obscure the prop.

    This is really nice! Great work! Can you please post a close-up photo of how you setup the motor? I would love to do this but I'm not very mechanical...

    Bang up job on your first animatronic. Looks great and with the added effects you will implement later it will look amazing.

    I have 4 wiper motors and may have time to build a creep. I may tackle this project, I have a few unused masks that will look great.

    Looks Great!! Might have to make this one. I agree with you on chilling the fog might keep it in the cauldron a little longer.
