Holy smokes, those are gorgeous!
Quoted from MrArt2u:I made Jack and Zero last year. Both heads are papier mache, Jack’s body is made out of PVC and he stands about 10 feet tall. Zero is 3-4 feet long and his nose lights up This year I’m adding an Oogey Boogey and the pumpkin headed “Halloween Town” scarecrow also from Nightmare Before Christmas” And a bunch of other surprises cuz, yup, we’re “that house”!
Its actually for guests to sit in and get blasted!
Quoted from Jackontherocks:You need a cyptkeeper doll for it
So after 2 days the chair is almost done.
The chair is working, vibrates, strobe lights on head and bottom of chair.
Used a blow torch to show previous use 
Painted, scratched and beat up the head cap
Built the control panel and stand
Got the lights, gauge and fan transformer on the panel working (turns on using the small MAIN POWER switch)
Added LEDs to all of them
Big control panel OFF/ON switch activates chair
Need to add some more cables and cosmetic odds and ends
Then if theres time add air hoses and a compressor.

I'm just using effects video files on a USB thumb drive. The projectors I got off Amazon for $80 have inputs for USB, SD card, blue ray, DVD, etc. Need to just hook up speakers now.
I'm going to hang see-through cloth out in the yard between trees to project a ghost scene and probably a skeleton band elsewhere in the house.
Setup is easier and cheaper than I thought so I may try more. Next year I'm going to make custom 3D stuff instead of the stock videos available out there now.
Quoted from Chitownpinball:COOOOOL, projection mapping? What program are you using?
Come on over . Incidentally, the house next door is for sale.
Quoted from TigerLaw:My dream is to retire and move next door to pacman I’m not even kidding, he lives in one of the nicest areas of the country.
Ha ha, yeah the wife would love that. I'd like to build a permanent haunt but not at home.
Quoted from seshpilot:Just for fun PAC, I think you should try and leave this stuff up all year.
