Here is my 2007 display. Not as nice as Teberle's, but I set it up in about 5 hours.
The crypt is 10 years old and is lifted by a 2 in^ pneumatic piston. The air solenoid, sounds, and strobe are controlled by a Atmel Tiny13 running on a nine volt battery.
All of the blinking LEDs (including the "eyes" in the hedge) are also controlled by Tiny 13's.
The flying ghost was a store bought product about 5 years ago, and I just got it out for the first time this year. I know the night pictures are dark, but the whole yard is lit with blacklights, so it does look a little better in person.
Now I am ready to take the next step with all these other cool ideas.

Vrey Nice. Thank you for sharing your video. I don't have a halloween display yet but all this blinky flashy stuff is starting to lead me down that trail too. Keep up the good work.

Nice setup, I usually have a bit of a similar setup myself, ghouls and ghosts hanging, I actually have the same ghost as you! I also have a descent sized graveyard. Also like the idea of the rats eating up the corpse, I was actually thinking of doing something similar but with spiders crawling out of the limbs. Again, nice job man!
