Pete GoE Labs: IR Breakbeam, Roll it yourself

This is a followup for an IR breakbeam. Steve-O and I tossed the idea around last year, and he found a kit that was easily hackable. I on the other hand wanted to do this even cheaper, and smaller all a bit more labor intensive. Another consideration was that I wanted to use Garden variety parts that would be available to anyone for many years to come. In general the transmitter is the main piece that I needed to focus on, so that is what is presented first. There are a number of very inexpens… Continue

xREDGHOSTRIDERx Check out my Cemetery Pics album for Inspiration and/or Admiration.

I finally got around to taking some pics of a local landmark called Friendship Cemetery. It's actually the site of the very 1st Memorial Day (at least in the South, that is). There are many unknown Confederate soldiers buried there, so it's been around anywhere from the early to mid 1800's. This one has a re-donk-ulous number of obelisks also. Lemme know if anyone needs any close-ups and what not. Continue

Taylor Hatfield Ideas to Protect Props from Bastard ToTs????

This will be the year I up my budget and add a Garage Haunt!!!! I still plan on a graveyard out front. I am super geeked about it! My garage is not very big to begin with so my space isn't large. I plan on 2 hallways and 1 decent sized room or two small rooms. Anywho, my point being, how can I protect my props from the few bastard kids that ruin things for all? I was thinking that if I use spider webs over the props close enough to touch, but that's as far as I've gotten. HELP PLEASE!! Most Hau… Continue

Peter Distefano We need some input please!

Hi people, My buddy and I have been working on new 2010 ideas ever since halloween ended in 09. Now..... everyone we know seems to really fall in love with our big Halloween yard haunt but personally I have an issue with the lighting. Our 2009 lighting scheme for me didn't really work. I thought that we had too much colour and in some areas it was too bright. Being the lighting tech of my own dj business should really help out with the creative aspect of prop lighting ideas but it doesn't, wh… Continue

The Evil Queen Thanks GoE Members!!

Your favorite midget is still alive! I was shocked to see all those messages with HOW ARE YOU?, Sink or Swim? Got your dive suit on?.... In the end it was all warnings and no action, or wavage. Thank you for your concerns and best wishes! We live just above the tsunami evacuation zones. However, friends of ours had to vacate their condos so they stayed with us. Ghoul Daddy is also civil defense, so he had to go to work, leaving us to our own demise... So our neighbors, friends, and I ended up… Continue
