Hi Guys, I thought I would share with you all my grand plans for some cemetery entry gates that I plan on building for this years display, along with some other things. I have had the guys in the metal shop at work(It pays to have a good boss) who have made me up some metal frames for...

I built this Clown Entrance for a Halloween party last year. It turned out fantastic. The eyes rotate, using cheap motors I picked up from Princess Auto. I projected the image and air brushed onto plywood. I didn't build it to be self standing (but you could)....for our purpose it was...

Hi there, Well, I had every intention in the world of building my own Horse Drawn Hearse, but.....have purchased a Real Hearse instead. Yup......I finally found and bought an actual Older Hearse, so I really have no need for any of the parts that I have been collecting for the past year or more...

https://youtu.be/lQt5MAdXC2M It was a blast. There are multiple parts. Like 15. Most are like two minutes long.

Well it took long enough to get this together since taking everything down makes me depressed lol.. But here it is! My home haunt for 2018! We had about 500 or so walk through the haunted house not including the ones that were too scared to make it all the way;) I split it into 4 parts for...

So you never know what kinda parts you need for props. I got my washing machine worked on today. The shocks were bad. I had never seen any before. So before I threw the box away, I opened it. I'm sure these will come in handy one day for something I'm building. Even if I take them apart for...

I am developing a love hate relationship with animatronics.. they charge all the money for them but seems some are crap and some have a little longevity to them but you may only get a few seasons from them. With no parts available you're left scrounging for a used one to pillage for parts at...

Ok, first post and not entirely sure if this is the spot for it. So I work at a pretty cool place that just absolutely embraces Halloween. Management encourages us to go big and creative for our area decorating. This year I am building my area into what I hope will be a passable...

I know there is software that allows you to specify what size object you want to make and it will break up the photo in to multiple parts so when it is all taped together it is the size you need. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the software or find it when I googled it. Does anyone...

Decided to sell it or trade it 7 ft long 69 inches tall comes with the unused fog machine and hoses adapters certificates.#368 out of 500 I am located in the Cincinnati area.Looking to get either my $350 back or trade for the Winter Dragon prop which takes alot less storage space.Shipping is...

One of my props is the Mad Scientist ...somewhere in all my moves I lost his cylinder...I would really like to replace it..does anyone have 1 I could purchase...Gemmy does sell replacement parts such as cylinders...plz let me know...thanks for any info!

I've got some that are having difficulty working. One has no function the other has lights but no movement. 2 others had no movement but I got them working. Anybody have any suggestions on where I might find electronic parts? The Radio Shack near me is gone.

I was installing some new shelving this last week and cleaning up a bit and once again, some things have to go. Up for grabs is a lot of PVC fittings and other misc parts. Some of these parts are new, some were used in our shop, and some are seconds (discolored) but they are all good usable...

Looking for anyone selling spare parts or knows where I can get spare parts for the Bewitching Cauldron Sisters / Stitch Witch Sisters. The electronics fried this past Halloween and looking if a replacement is available anywhere.

Over the last 3-4 years I've purchased several animatronics from that big online store (that rhymes with Fear It), and most of them stopped working in the same season I bought them. I've been opening them up and trying to fix them, to no avail. Last year I contacted "Fear It" in hopes that I...

So I've been toying with the idea of building an Arduino prop controller for a while now but never needed anything this advanced till recently. Before I start my build I wanted to ask a few questions. 1. Should I build the FOUR BANGER or the OCTO BANGER? Currently I'm just looking at 4...

Hi all, I'm new to prop building and am prepping to make a ground breaker. Before I start ordering parts, I thought it'd be a good idea to come ask the pro's here where they get there parts from (controllers, pneumatic cylinders, solenoids, etc.)? It seems to me that all the sites I've been to...

You spend $50 or so for a complete skeleton, since things like ribcages and other tricky bones can be difficult to make from scratch. You want it to look realistic, so perhaps you corpse it a bit, but to truly make it look right, you will need to bite the bullet and ruthlessly tear it apart. No...

Hi, I have a Halloween decoration that I need to fix and I'm wondering if anyone knows if you can buy the lighting parts separate. I'm attaching pictures of what I need and the decoration. The lighting looks like they used a white miniature light, which I've tried replacing it, but it still...

looking for a non working one or damaged one for parts?? anyone have one of these??
