Oliver Blatt Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I'd always been a Christmas light guy, until last year when we discovered that trick or treat night in our little town is a really big deal. So, this year, we're starting our decorating early! I had always wanted to do some animatronics that were fun, but still not such a big project that I would lose interest. So, here is Monty, the scared of Halloween bird. He'll be hosting our trick or treat night show, which will be relatively simple, but still much more than we've done in the past. Monty took about 3 hours to construct, and maybe 6 hours to record the audio (all 6 minutes of it!) and program. I know programming is still a bit rough around the edges, but he's almost ready to go. Hope you enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibblejr Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 That's a great start. I don't get walk ups or something like that would be cool. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Blatt Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 Thanks. I never would have believed it either, but last year we ran out of candy 45 minutes after the night started! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orville Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Pretty cool. Is that one of Spencer's {Spirit Halloween} Skeletal Creatures they now sell? I know they've added quite a few to their collection over the years. Not doing Halloween this year, no time for both Halloween and Christmas this year, but I may start doing Halloween again next year, not sure of that just yet. Christmas has my full attention for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Blatt Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 I actually grabbed the bird on Amazon, but at Walmart the other day I saw a few other skeleton animals. I grabbed a cat to add to the menagerie for next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Blatt Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Here’s the final result. We had over 109 trick or treaters, and everyone loved the experience! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orville Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 We don't give anything out until Halloween night, October 31, before that, you can watch the lights and listen to the music. But nothing until the "official day" of "trick or treating". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefffrompawpaw Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 What is the spooky organ music you are using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Blatt Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 The music was written and recorded specifically for the show....one of my real life jobs is composing and recording music. Hopefully you enjoyed the audio track for the show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
