i am looking for ideas on how to build a few giant spiders that I can add to my Halloween light show. Economical ones that don't involve any form of radiation! lol

Do you want to make giant spiders or giant light uo spiders?

Giant light up spiders, the thought is to have RED eyes and have the eyes controlled by LightORama.

Do you want the spiders to move? I have a giant spider that has moving legs. I use regular christmas lights in his body but you could certainly use SmartPixels and control them with LightORama.

Here is a video of the spider mounted on the wall (the previous year, I had him on the floor and pushed forward using a 12" stroke pneumatic cylinder).

This shows the mechanism to move the legs:
