I don't know about you all, but I am having a blast right now. So far I built a new web shooter, added a another Scary Terry talking skull so I can have 2 skulls craking wise to each other, a pnuematic pop up spider that spits water, and will be building at least one monster mud reaper this weekend.

I am also full-on crazy about EFX-Tek prop controllers. I ordered the EZ-8 and that thing rocks. Being able to program from Vixen is really cool.

Hooked into the EZ-8 is a Scary Terry audio board. And it is all triggered with a paralax motion sensor. This will be the primary controller set up for the spider. I have other plans for the EZ-8 as well. I have some canon that I need to fire for another project that the EZ-8 will make short work of.

Carl at Cowalicious rocks! And the forums at EFX-Tek made short work of a couple stumbles I had.

This is my first year with animatronics. I think I will definately have to add at least single axis to the skulls for next year. But I don't want bite off too much and not get done for this year.

Christmas? Fahgettaboutit! Halloween is where the fun is at.

The only new things for us this year are pvc candles for the graveyard, an animated witch that stirs her lighted cauldron, and led floods for the front of the house. Next year I'm doing FCG's for us and for some friends of ours. We really enjoy Halloween, too!
