Thread: Spooky F/X- Has anyone tried them?

Tweet

Spooky F/X has got some great props at great prices, has anyone on the forum tried them and if so have you had a good experience? By the way, they are also known as Scareware Manufacturing. To defray costs, they ask you to pay by Money Order or Check, therefore I need to check their credibility ahead of time. Here is a link to their website:

I think you will agree they have some great stuff, kind of inbetween the professional and rock bottom market. Thanks in advance for replying.

Well, I just purchased their Category 5 Lightning Contoller for 199 with shipping. It controls 3200 watts, seems like a good price, will let you know. By the way, Jerry Chavez is the guy behind this company, he has a best selling Halloween handbook which at least makes me feel better since none of you replied.

Got the Category 5, hooked up 6 500 watt halogens for an hour, worked like a charm, incredible!

Stay away, far away, their perfect storm category 5 thus far is COMPLETE JUNK. No instructions, no support, does not work at all, JUNK

Well, these guys came through and fixed all my issues, pls ignore my ravings, I would recommend after all.

I have been good friends with Jerry Chavez, owner of Spooky FX, for 15 years now. Jerry demonstrated the first seminar at the first halloween enthusiast convention back in the mid 90s and is also the author of the Haunted House Halloween Handbook published in 1997 <http://www.amazon.com/Haunted-House-Halloween-Handbook-Chavez/dp/0786403756>

Spooky FX products are well made but are not aimed at the haunted attraction industry but rather the enthusiast's haunted yard or garage. Used for one evening per year, his props are made to last a lifetime and his prices are the lowest I have seen in the industry. His attention to detail is also legendary.
