That's it! Thanks Gobby

No worries. You really have stuff packed in there! I think you might be exceeding the legal scare capacity for a yard that size.

Love the Leota with the book that opens and closes.

That was great! What was the window projection you used? Really liked that one. The whole thing was well put together!

 

[Halstaff]

Great haunt! How did you get the book to open and close?

 

[Terror Tom]

Thanks for the kind words eveybody!

Unfortunately in good ol southern California our homes practically touch leaving us with very small yards.

The window projections is from HiRezDesigns.com. All of their haunt videos are live actors and very well done. In my opinon they give a much better fright and "wow" than Hallowindow. It is an extremely spooky effect with the sound on as they are banging on the windows but I turned it off because of all the other sounds I had playing.

All of the projections seen in my video werea achieved with a Wonderwall $65 projector from Kohl... Yes I bought three..to say these are toy projectors is an understatement, but heck the results are still pretty impressive. I am replacing the bulb with a $15 100Watt bulb which in theory should double the brightness. I know there are several threads on modding the Wonderwall.

The opening book in front of Leota is from Spirit. It was around $30.

I would love to recreate the ghost bride a la the one in the haunted mansion. Unfortunately there is only one good recreation out there and the guy who created it refuses to sell the projection due to pirated copies out there.

I know the video quaility is horrible. There are a few other on my youtube channel. It is nice receiving compliments for our work. As we all know this "hobby" is truly for everybody else on Halloween night.
