i came up with a new idea for a Project to start on as summer approaches and I have a cool concept and layout art to show you I drew first and work on my computer on

One of the sure signs of spring seems to be that the head count on the Halloween Props forum skyrocket. There are 411 folks out there right now looking at the same stuff we are. We're pretty sure we're all out there looking to get ideas and help on what we're hoping to make this year. We hope...

Need help ! Trying to had a Haunted Miror for my next halloween haunt. I have a glass lying around and bought some mirror tint to put on it to do the two way mirror effect. I am still unsure about what i'm gonna do with it, either i put a head prop behind it with a light and motion detector for...

ATX computer power supplies are in almost any old desktop computer case you may have sitting in your attic or closet collecting dust. These power supply's have at least 5- 12v, 8-5v and 4-3.3v leads all running with enough amperage to run any motor, arduino, servo or light setup that you have...

Here are the videos of my Tiki Themed Haunt. There were supposed to be animations (a creep jumping out of the Tiki Bar and a moving Tiki skeleton) but I did not have time to get those working, had computer glitches and the tiki poles being the main attraction took priority. Also fog was...

For those who have multiple sounds coming from multiple props, what are you doing? Not talking about custom programming all hooked up to computer, etc. Just want to add sound to 2-3 props and have the speaker right by that prop. For example my rocking chair that moves, I want to have a speaker...

I am replacing some of my old cassette tape players, to provide individual sounds for scenes, with some cheap mp3 players played through computer speakers. I am running the mp3 players continuously and switching power to the computer speakers to turn the sound on and off. Everything is working...

The setup worked a couple years ago. I tested the motor with a car battery and it works. I also put the meter on the outputs of the computer power supply and I get 5 volts on the red and 12 on the yellow. When I connect the motor to the power supply the motor doesn't turn at all, I measured with...

Halloween Forum is a really unique place and we want to keep it a friendly, awesome site for Halloween enthusiasts, home haunters and professional haunters alike. So that being said, the time has come to put out a call for a few good members to step up and help keep the forum clean and tidy...

Greetings. I love Halloween and hope to make this year the best ever. I'm a computer artist and Halloween is the perfect time for me to see what I can do to come up with some scary creatures. I'll be posting some of them here.

I have 8 used motors. They are 12 volt units. There are 2 speeds, depending on how each one is wired in the prop. The price for these is $10.00 for each one plus shipping. These are just some of the motors I have. The others are similar. For more info or to purchase email me at...

Does anyone know of an all in one stand alone prop controller that could do the following. DMX Servos Solenoids MP3 Audio I have used many types and combinations but have not been able to find one that does it all without having a computer tied to the system.

sorry if this is already posted but I could not find it, here is my gothic windows with ghostly apparitions playing behind it do you think I should remove the kaleidoscope light here's the link as I can not seem to get it to upload on here tried everything my files are always to large to...

OK- I have the video files I want to use on my computer. What is the best way to transfer them into a seamless DVD or single video file for looping? I have WnX HD Video converter and Corel PSP software - along with plain ol' Windows Media Player. I am not really a computer person and can't...

I feel embarrassed posting this, but I'll go with it anyway. :o I have been wondering "How do I import audio from an animatronic to my computer?" Simple answer, you probably can't. But, what if there was in fact a way to import the audio from a Halloween Prop to a computer?

Hi Guys, Just thought I'd start a thread about a little idea I had this year for my maze. I run a large PA style setup in my maze for the ambient sound and sound effects. I needed a way to make my props trigger the computer to play the sound effects at the right time, since most of my props...
