Live Show

[jem5136]

Hi,
I am thinking about having a "show" in my haunted house this year. This year the theme for my haunt is "The Knight's Theater"
What I wanted to do is have some flickering lights in the lobby and in the theater itself. But in the theater, I wanted a way to start a show by pressing a button or something of the sort. The show would start out with the "movie", and it would play 20-30 seconds and then it would be "interrupted" by a power-outage, which would set up the scene for the haunt, and then have lights come back on when I press the button again.
Does anyone have idea on how to do this without spending to much money, but keeping it some what simple.

Thanks,
Jesse

You can add an "Interactive Button" (cost less than $5).

You will need one of these to hookup 2 or 3 buttons (depending on your Controller):

And here is how you hook it up:

Try doing a search on "interactive" also...
