  1. Halloween Props
    Hello all, I recently picked up a couple dozen ATV seed spreader motors. Cant post a link but they are replacements for SaltDogg 3008793. Got them at auction for $1.50 apiece brand new.:) Now I’m trying to find a cheap way to drop the RPM’s. I tried a speed controller but at the lowest voltage...
  2. Halloween Props
    As the title suggests, I’m looking for a tiny spinning motor with 2 paddles/blades or something similar (I.E. ice cream machine or something slower) to fit in a small 5”ish bowl. The idea is to fill the bowl with fishing lure worms and have the motor spinning in the bottom to make it look like...
  3. Halloween Props
    I am using a mannequin for my Flashing Zombie for our NOLA theme this year (yes, THAT kind of flashing), and trying to figure out what I can use to attach pvc arms to the current arm sockets on the mannequin which will allow free movement up and down. Using pvc arms bulked up with pool noodles...

    Has anyone been able to successfully repair/replace an animatronic motor? Spirit Halloween doesn’t have replacement parts for my thousands of dollars of animatronics that were damaged.

    I could use ideas for the mechanical parts of the sliding mechanism and a hand that comes out to grab the lid and goes back when the lid closes. I thought of using a servo, stepper or small DC motor for the lid. I know a lot of people use deer motors, wiper motors and linkages, etc. but I'm an...

    I have a 2007 Dead Eye Drake that has a burnt out motor in the torso. For the life of me, I can't seem to find a motor that works with this guy, either the shaft is too short, or the motor is too fast, or it doesn't run on 3 Volts. I know the movement isn't fried, because I have tried 2 seperate...

    This thread is about a halloween dark ride I am making. I will be posting our progress on this site so everyone can know what we did to make it. I know dark rides can be very expensive to build, but this is the most budget friendly dark ride I have ever seen built. Each ride car costs $300-500...

    So several years ago my wife had the idea of having Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers in our display (both skeletons). Like most props I make it is my wifes idea that i make become reality. So here it is. Stared out with an octagonal frame that is 47.5" from point to point. Bottom layer...

    VIDEO: https://youtu.be/fTJSfBQC-WI This a project I actually completed for Halloween 2017, but have been lax in finding the time to take some decent pics and shoot a video of it in action. I always loved the Grave-Digging Skeleton, but always wondered if I could re-engineer it in a new way...

    A wiper motor is normally powered by a car battery, right? If you want to use it with a prop, does that mean you have to connect it to a battery? Can it run on household current? Thanks.

    What would the average size motor be for an Axworthy Ghost? I will be using a lightweight ghoul head with foam arms and cheesecloth so he will be not weigh much at all and my yard is maybe 60 feet across so the cable he will travel on will be about 130ft. I have never built one of these and I...

    I'm going to build a "Monster in a box" prop this year. Actually it will be a "Monster in a Coffin" but the effect will be similar. I want to use the prop controller from Monster Guts in my title. I don't want the controller however to be triggered, but to run continuously on a loop. Fright...

    I rely on so many of you to guide my prop builds, and this thread will be no different. This year two of my props had motors that failed, and I'm pretty sure it was our fault for asking them to do something they weren't meant to do. I'm hoping that with a bit of guidance, we can set them up...

    This is an animated Gravedigger prop I made. It's mostly recycled from old props and molds I had in the garage, but I animated it in the "leering ghost" kind of way (bent PVC attached to upper body and running on a slow window motor). I attached mine to the window roller motor with Home Depot...
