allright, so I stumbled upon this site... and I thought it was pretty neat... I showed it to my wife and she insisted that I -had- to make it. A $10 trip to the metal supermarket and a couple of hours of assembly later, I had the mechanism completed. I added a wig-head with LED eyes diffused by paper and windshield-washer jug lenses topped with a mask...also a dirty shirt from one of last year's props and some creey hands from walmart... I already had a wiper motor (and bracket) from my parts car (an '81 rabbit) and a DC power supply (from a mini-fridge) so the prop cost about $20
Not only did I have new a mechanized prop for this year, but I also bought the stuff to add sound to one prop, and this one was too cool not to add sound to.. I tied it all together with my motion sensor (which is having sensitivity issues it seems) (sound added about $10)
we might add some tufts of hair... but otherwise it's done. I'll have to hide the tape player behind the tombstone.. the powered pc speakers just lay under his armpits.
