I've been building up to this point since Xmas last year, with Halloween a soft launch/test before building up with more lights to Xmas this year.
What a learning curve, and issues even up to the 11th hour yesterday, with the sun setting and still no lights.
I still have a few things to fix and...
Hey gang, hoping someone out there has the patience to help me out. This is my first year as a home owner that I am going to attempt a halloween or Christmas display. I have no previous programing or electrical experience what so ever. I have been "researching" and dabbling in trying to build a...
Two skeleton gravediggers either side of a grave, grave has an infinity mirror in it. Using talking skeletons, one could say "I think you've dug the hole too deep" then the other replies "what do you think children". Use a sensor to trigger the conversation each time ToTs approach. I'm thinking...
For those interested this link is zip file of 3 joking skeleton soundtracks, each about 10 minutes long.

After watching the videos from the Adelaide 2017 mini by @Fing and @BradsXmasLights I have been thinking about what tips others can add, given members are starting to concentrate on Halloween, Thanks Giving (for the US members), and of course, Christmas.
Obvious ones are switch it off and on...
I just thought I would jump on the bandwagon and show off the progress of this years haunt.
This is our 11th year of celebrating halloween and the 4th year of our indoor attraction.
Last years haunt was a pretty big year with a major renovation of all the internal walls taking what was a 6mtr x...

But the mechanism is quite tricky (even original builder said so!) and house renos got in the way, so it was abandoned to this year.
