Rich Rockets Etc

Again this year I ended up having to not only entertain but to hand out the candy.  The wife
was away so renewed the idea of a mausoleum maze.  Turned it 90 degrees
to have them come out the side this time.

The Daytime shots show the Photo Spot to the left, a little touching up on the columns
with a little black paint. Got a Timer this year for the fog machine again attached to a
Fog Chiller.

The left side has the Kodak spot where people could sit on the bales to get their
pictures taken.  But sometimes the scarecrow had to mug for the shots by reaching
out at them. 

Inside the mausoleum the large red eyed spider with its victim. The pop up body this
time was pneumatically controlled.  When they got close they would step on a panel
triggering compressed air to bring him up. 

The lights inside were flourescent inside clip lights and under the body was a pressure release switch that
that would turn on a couple of strobe lights when the body came up and turn off when he laid back down.

All but the one outside green light in the back to the right of the mausoleum were the incandescent Party Lights.
Think next year I'll go all flourescent.
Also found a traveling ghost that was suppose to go back and forth but most of the time it would make one
pass then stop.



Last Years Prop Vandal.

Another successful show, pneumatics worked pretty good and I got some new ideas for lighting and
adding another pneumatic Trick for the Treaters.

You can see how to make the fence, columns, the Reaching Scarecrow and
later how I made the Body come up from the coffin
