This Halloween I updated a few of my props and added Arduino control to animate some of them . I added a plexiglass front with aged stencil , angel , LEDs , speakers and replaced the clock face .

Went with fishing line to link the motor to the 2 pop-ups instead of metal or plastic (pvc) link. Did find a great use for BBQ skewers that were hanging and never used...it's what is pushing the...
I need 2 LEDs that can be stuck in a prop behind ping pong ball eyes to simulate blinking (going on/off). Cowalicious has a product along with the lights and power supply that look perfect. I've called and tried to contact them though the website but haven't heard back. Is he still up and...

I put one of those 'shaking eyes' (red light up eyes with a off-balanced motor to cause shaking) up inside him, but you can't really tell he is shaking from the video. I was hoping it would be enough to...
I needed a few weathered lanterns for my pirate skeleton crew's display, and happened upon some flame effect Christmas lanterns at Walmart! They have the larger flame led light inside frosted plastic lenses. I was going towards the check out area, when i noticed some medium sized lanterns from...
