Halloween Displays!

[Daisy14'sDH]

We built a halloween display loosely base on ideas from the POTC ride, and are hoping to get it bigger every year. This is our second year and we have added 2 cannons which I built from Paper Mache and other goodies, their Carriages, one of them i rigged to a remotely operated air compressor that fires at the push of a butoon on my remote. Addeda storm controller to give the lightning effects and more lights!

For next year we are adding (I started the design) for a drunken skeleton pirate as a water feature, and multiple firing cannons now that I have all the design issues worked out it will be much easier.

Heres the link!

Thats so cool! I love the projector idea! We are not tryign to scare the kids as much as entertain the adults that come by! Last year we had 15 people out front all dressed as pirates. I did my best Captain Jack Impersonation and failed horribly but had a blast trying!

it looks a lot scarier than it was, but you can hear some screaming in the background courtesy of some local teenagers

We are in a new development, and it was our first Halloween, so we had a good time with it

We are pretty much the only people that decorate for Halloween around here, we are not too far from you (Stoney Creek). We re in an older neighborhood here but most of our neighbors are really supportive and like that its themed not just Gory to scare children.
