Had this idea rattling in my head for at least a year, and though we're scaling well back this year, I still wanted to get this one built.
Had use it or lose it situation on my vacation, so taking a few days off and getting a couple hours to work in the new air conditioned shop in between plenty of house work that needed to be done. .
Idea is to actually have the wings detachable and assemble on sight.
LOL, I'm not sure which I'm ore impressed with - the prop or the air conditioned workshop! Here in Arizona, it's brutal to work on the garage during the summer (and late spring and early fall).
Sweet! I really look forward to your creations. I went back through your blog last year to see your previous year's stuff because I found your style really innovative and it was cool watching your haunt grow and change. I love how you get your whole block involved, it really brings out the spirit of Halloween. I'm excited to see what this year brings.
Test concept for attaching the wing frames. I need this to be move-able in pieces.
Concept was modeled on the tendon a bird's wing naturally has in roughly this location. I'm not sure it works for my plans though. Other options include a smaller rope off the first 'joint' in the wings, would go arcross the back and thus prevent them from rolling, which is the problem. If that fails, there's always a pin possibility.
I need to locate a lot more 'ugly branches' to cover the frame and make disjointed 'featerish' shapes on the wings.
Hi, new here.
I’m looking to find (ideally a finished product purchase) a motorized prop that doesn’t necessarily need theme already applied. I plan to add my own “touches” to the item which “reaches to get you”
Preferred to have some motion sensor installed.
Imagine: a “hand that reaches out”...
We have a tree in the front of our house close to the sidewalk. I have been thinking for a while about trying to make some kind of a face that looked like it was part of the tree. Something along the lines of this photo. If you do a google search you will see it many form and is typically...
I’m thinking about making a tall static prop with this real skull. It’s somewhat fragile. Any ideas on how I can secure it to neck area of the frame? And other than a human like form, anybody seen a prop like this that was more unusual, ie like the creature in the movie The Ritual?

This may or may not happen for Halloween 2020, but I figure I should start doing the research anyway. I have zero experience in animating props, but I know given some plan, I could probably do it. Anyway, I had this idea of doing a huge spider on my roof and then have a man hanging from the...
