New BIG SCARY SHOW – Episode 171 – A look back at the 2018 Haunt Season And just like that, it’s over. After a glorious few weeks, we must unfortunately put the final nail in the coffin of the 2018 haunt season. But before we disappear back into the darkness, the Big Scary Show invites you to...

I've created an ambient soundtrack for our graveyard this year that has some material pulled from our main soundtrack. It has some elements that might not fit your theme completely but it does have some angry wind, siren-like witches beckoning, and some ghost-ish stuff, and a ridiculous number...

Finished repairing the damage from last week's storm and decided to do a full run of the witch hut with all effects going.

As many of you know, we got hit bad by the remains of Hurricane Michael last week. The witch hut was completely demolished and many of the props inside were damaged, the witch got toppled, but due to her mostly wire construction she was undamaged. Had three tombstones broken and most others...

Hi everyone, I've left my Halloween preparations late this year (thanks, life) but I'm really hoping to finally get a good solution for a thunder and lightning machine. Every year I spend hours searching the internet, and every year I give up in dismay. I'd like a thunder & lightning machine...

I'm in need of a smaller lightning machine and the Perfect Storm 2.0 (with audio input) seems like the one to get. I have an IZombie unit that I run for the outside lightning and thunder, but I'm going to have lightning in the mad lab and it's too far to tie into the IZombie unit. They have one...

I'm stuck in a state of only partially getting things done! I want to finish putting things out, but they're calling for a huge storm on Sunday night and high winds all day Monday. At this point, I shouldn't even bother putting the rest of my items out, because I will literally just be making...

It's been quite a long time since I have posted any of my Halloween stuff but I thought some of you might get a kick out of this one. this year I let my son decide what we were going to do for our build. A few months ago he wanted a S.W.A.T. costume. Great...I have an E350 Van that would be...

As I've been setting up and taking pictures this year there has been one thing that keeps jumping out at me as a huge eyesore and atmosphere kill to our display. That one thorn was our bright white and very modern looking front storm door. I had already given it some thought and decided that I...

Light(n)ing question here: For those of you who have the Morris Perfect Storm lightning box, could you describe your setup and provide any tips & tricks to maximize the effect? I'm trying to decide if I should add this to the must-do list for this year. I already have a 500w halogen work light...

So, I purchased a lightning storm simulator for my haunt, but now I'm torn. What looks better? The creepiness of low-lying fog in the graveyard, or a lightning and thunderstorm effect?? :eek: I don't think both at the same time makes sense. The weather conditions that lead to a lightning storm...

Firstly, let me say I'm very pleased with my 2,000 watt outdoor thunder and lightning effect based on two Morris Costumes Perfect Storm units I sourced from Walmart. Believe I got mine for $40 each. I know some of the pricey izombie and firefly units o offer a brownout mode but want to stick...

Edit: I have the items for my wife's costume already, but need assistance with the cape. Scroll down to post dated 10-4-15 for my most current post if you don't feel like reading about the whole project. Hello all! Last year y'all might remember that I put together a custom Maleficent...

Hello, Looking for a used Thunder/Lightning box. Anything from a Perfect Storm to Izombie or Firefly. Really looking for an Izombie or Firefly however. Figured someone might be updating. Not picky if it's stereo or mono. I had a Perfect Storm before so it would be an upgrade for me either...

It's time once again for another episode of Road to October. The calm before the storm!

looking to buy the perfect storm lightning machine prop

So it rained yesterday and I decided to take a few pics. Wasn't going to until later because I wasn't done..but what the hay why not Nothing crazy or special, I'm going to do more to it. Lights, fog, heads, bones, and pumpkins to the columns. So that rain...full out storm... Just...

The other day our Perfect Storm gadget arrived and I finally got a chance to play with it. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what the best soundtrack would be to use with it? I only need about 5 minutes per tot-er as they enter the graveyard section, so I would like it to be fairly...
