I think some liked the entire show. Others just grabbed the candy and

ran - couldn't care less about the effects.


I had a skeleton in a rocking chair with a snoring sound effect

synchronized to the chair motion. It was triggered with a motion

sensor on approach, not retreat. This year I will upgrade that with

an animated skull and an audio track "Why have you disturbed my nap!

Get your candy and run! I want to Rest In Peace" or something like that.


I had a thunder sound track and synchronized lightning bouncing on the

side of the garage wall. There is a small planter area right there

and I had an animated headstone synchronized to the thunder/lightning.

These were triggered by a motion sensor.


I also had a Flying Crank Ghost behind one of the large front windows.

This was illuminated by black light and almost every adult asked how

it was done. The kids just grabbed the candy and ran.


This year I will add the animated owl - probably triggered by people

walking up the sidewalk. The mounting location is still TBD.


I want to do a Monster In A Box or a pop-up but the powers that be

have nixed that idea. She doesn't want to terrify the young ones.


I will be doing a lot more with sound tracks. I bought 4 of the Rogue

Robotics uMP3 players so I will have a long playing track of haunting

sounds in the graveyard and perhaps something similar below the Flying

Crank Ghost.


I may still do something with another skeleton. Perhaps some fade

lighting and a little animation. The Bucky skeletons are on sale

through a group event on Technical Insanity. Instead of the usual

$200, they are just $60. Those and a bag of bones should really add

to the theme.
