This will be the new attraction at the yard haunt this year. One side of the yard will be all graveyard, the garage will be an asylum with drop panels and the electric chair and then the other side of the yard will be the Graveyard keepers quarters with the new haunted cabin prop, fence and...

Hi all, first time poster, relatively new to Halloween prop making. I made a guillotine with wood blade (which is covered by sheet metal) and would like to automate the lift and dropping of the blade. The blade doesn't need to be lifted very high, maybe 3 feet, and weighs about 20 lb. I would...

First Halloween build of the season yesterday! Guillotine is 8.5 feet tall, made of mostly plywood. What do you think?
