2006 Yard Haunt in Fremont, CA


Video of Props


We created 2 rooms with asphault (paving) fabric (12'x80') in two 11ft by 11 ft area rooms


The 3 pneumatic props in this room were trigger by one Flex ECT from Hauntmaster products, each additional prop was triggered 5 seconds later with a delay relay.


The standing skeleton talks with a servo and servo driver circuit from cowlacious.com. When the dragon in the other room finished, it triggered the ump3 player card to start the skeleton talking. The Prop-1 sends a 24VDC signal down 25ft of phone cable to trigger a relay and start the ump3 player.


The winged demon dropped down from the roof of the room let out from a 20" stroke air cylinder.


The large dragon was driven with 4 pneumatic air cylinders and the Prop-1 card


The small dragon head was lifted out of the fiberglass egg by a 20" stroke air cylinder. 4" vinyl ducting was used to route the fog. A Prop-1 card was used to receive the input from the large dragon, trigger the air cylinder, trigger the fog machine and send the command to the relay to trigger ump3 player card in the next room, so the sounds were not conflicting.



The picket fence was made from ripped apart pallets to the wood was aged and the pallets were free off of Freecycle.org<\p>



Tombstones on the right are lit up with the 18 UV LED spotlight bulb. The beam is somewhat narrow, but provides a great background glow for the cemetary.


Flying crank ghost lit with UV LED 110VAC screw in sockets. Got from ebay seller GoldenPSX for $9


The Boris skull on a rubber skeleton body was telling Silly Halloween jokes

A 24 by 16 ft canvas castle was put over the garage. A wood door was created into the garage and the canvas door screwed to it. The skull dot room was put up in the garage withe 24 LED strobing black light LEDs
