Hey boils and ghouls!

Im wanting to make a very large clock for my haunt this year and i would really love to make it spin around backwords. Has anyone done this before? some tips would be greatly appreciated-thanks

FYI - the clock is about the size of a bus wheel and is made from insulation foam board-I'll post pix when im done detailing and painting.

Hi there. I did something similar to this a few years ago. I ended up going to a thrift store and getting an old walkman. I dug a channel into the back of the foam to put the walkman into, then I made some clock hands out of card stock and drilled a small hole in the fast forward/rewind nub on the walkman and used a glued in pin to mount the hands on. When I hit the rewind button, the clock hands spun backwards at a pretty good clip. It worked out pretty well, and only cost a few dollars to do the whole thing.
