Halloween 2010 has come and gone

I have already started drafting my list of things to fix/do for the upcoming day. The coffin as worked pretty well last year. I think the project that has caused the most issues has been the flying spiders, the cables and motors have every year developed some kind of problem.

Halloween 2009

Friday, October 30th, 2009

So Halloween is in is over and this year was a Huge success. This year there are a few notable changes for the show this year. The weather did not start out so well, it was 8 Celsius and heavy rain for most of the morning. The Rain decreased a little however that was replaced with wind gusting up to 60km/h. After all of that at 5:00pm or so the wind dies down, the rain was gone and it was a perfect evening.

Notable changes
-The audio is all powered by Samples and sequenced using MIDI
-The lights are controlled by the same MIDI interface.. very sweet.
_The Coffin got a rebuild and both spiders are working this year.
-Put Eyes in all the rats. Also added eyes to some of the bats.

Halloween 2008

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

So I started documenting some of my many years of Halloween setups in a wiki. Every year I setup a fun Halloween show at someones house for one day only. I swoop in on the morning, setup all the equipment and props and then in the evening pack it all up until next year. This year a house in Manotick was hosting my setup and it was the best looking house setup I have had for a very long time.
