[hollyberry]

ok so we didn't have much hacking to do ...lol.. we just undressed the little Bugger and added a Foam skull to the mechanism and draped some cheese cloth over it ...

but here is a short video to show you what it looks like and how it moves

Holly, I'm getting some kind of garbled computer code and no movie, you're making me pout.

[Vlad]

Okay, I just got Lotus to send it to me. I don't know why it opened for him. Playing favorites Holly? LOL

It's really pretty cool Holly.And I'm sure much better than the way you bought it. It's a pretty neat mobile FCG. How much was it?

[hollyberry]

yeah it was just $12 at menards... http://www.menards.com

it was a real cutesy ghost before

here's a pic of before

Man I love that thing. If I test that in the back yard my young chocalate lab will have a fit. She will chew that thing to bits. Do they makes those dog resistant?

Holly, Vlad and I found that same ghost at Party City selling for $21.99. Your looks great with the hack job.

[Vlad]

Only I'm not sure it was the same, the one on Holly's had moving arms, and the box on the one we saw didn't mention that at all.

Nice job Holly!

Boy, I wishe there was a menard's near me :(

Great prop, Holly. We got ours for around ten at Menards and at the time, I didn't know I could hack things and forgot about it. Thanks for the idea! I also like that it has the silent option as well. Easier to sneek up on people that way...

Got mine at K-Mart for $9.99 last Halloween. Since the hurricane didn't pass by us until 72 hours before Halloween, I had to do a quick job on him. Tore off the cutesy ghost stuff, used a skull from Walgreens, and black cloth that you lay down in the flower beds to keep the weeds from growing.

Great Googly Moogly Love That Hack

[ghostie]

Yeah, looks awesome...

[ScareShack]

Anyone know where I can get one this time of year?

[Death Wraith]

I picked up a couple of these from Kmart after last season for (I think) $4 each. Didn't really know what to do with them and now I know! Thanks!!

[ScareShack]

found one on e-bay but it seemed a little pricy compared to what some of you have spend.
