Well there isn't a whole lot of pictures to show from this year. I was so caught up in building things that I slacked off in the picture taking!

But here's a few props I built that really got a good scare...

This guy sat in a lawn chair on the front porch. Under him is a air piston made out of pvc pipe.

When a TOT'er was is range (right smack dab in front of him) I would trigger it and he would split in half exposing his spinal cord and guts.

This guy was sitting it the bushes that are in front of you when walking down our front side walk. It's just a mask, two hands and black plastic garbage bags mounted to a wood frame.

The frame is screwed to the end of a pvc air ram. A bunge cord is used to retract the pipe after triggered. The unit is mounted into a five gallon bucket on a plywood base and weighted down for balance.

When someone would walk down the side walk. I flipped a switch and he would come straight out at them about 4 feet! At the same time a colored flood bulb would light him up. The entire area was sectioned off with wire fence to keep people from getting rammed! I had more kids scream using this prop than any of them!

In addition to the above I also built a Trash-Can-Trauma and a Flying Crank Ghost. Plans for both can be located in the Halloween-l Achieves.
