Thread: Anyone using or have used a projector

Tweet

So been thinking of using a projector in my grave yard haunt just not sure what to use? I know i can buy foam board for a dollar in white and put the squares up together or maybe a white sheet?

What do you want to project? I use a holiday projector for my fog vortex effect, but I use a video projector for Hallowindow...

Depends on where you plan to project. If you simply want to project on a wall or ceiling or garage door then you can throw up just about any white sheet or board etc. I plan on projecting in my front window so i will use a white sheet so that i can project through to the front side from behind and then reverse the image. I will be using hallowindow so when it gets to the part when the guy pulls open the curtain, and screams it will appear like it is really happening in my front window.

Me too Scruffy, I just downloaded Hallowindow IV the other day...

I was thinking of doing the video "Thriller" in the graveyard?

Ok, that could work. Just hope it doesn't rain that night. You could try the hallowindow technique if you have a window big enough close to your graveyard, reverse your projector and throw the picture on a sheet from the back side facing out...

ElGuapo, i just previewed Hallowindow 4 and i did'nt really like it. Marc is an impressive artist and, so far has really pulled off the horror genre but the fun-park idea......well, (for me) leaves much to be desired. I'm not saying it's not impressive cuz it really is, it's just that .....well, funparks and clowns just never scare the crap outta me for some reason......i dunno!?!?! I know Marc can do better, darker, scarier.......i have all the Hallowindows so far except this one......sorry Marc.


P.S. Marc is an artist so please, support his work!!!!

I use projectors and TV's extensively in my displays for a nightclub. I use Hallowindow among other content and love it.

For my temporary screens, I use "Dance and Swim" fabric (easily available at fabric stores). The cloth is 55" wide on the bolt, and will stretch to about 80" depending on length. I use tarp clamps from Harbor Freight ($3 for 4 of them) to anchor them. Here's a pic of one of my Hallowindow displays: http://s875.photobucket.com/albums/a...oween%20Stuff/

This display is a two-door storage closet that patrons walk by after first entering the club.
