Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

It's THAT time of year again. - Time to send chills up the spines of the neighborhood rugrats when we set up our Halloween decor. In addition to the animated zombies crawling from their graves and our animated witch we're adding some special effects.

The last few years we'd displayed Halloween cartoon movies on our garage door with a projector. This year I've decided to add 2 more projectors and try some holographic effects. I was able to find a couple more decent used projectors on eBay very cheap.

Our first attempt was easy. I bought 3 large plastic pumpkins. To create the illusion that they are animated jack-o-lanterns that are singing and telling stories all I had to do was project the video right on them.



The second display was simple too. All I had to do was set up another projector (and computer) in our living room and shine it at our windows that have a sheer curtain covering them.

For our 3rd display I had to do a bit of construction. ! bought 3 10' sections of 3/4" emt and built a framework in our yard. I drove the tubing about a foot into the lawn so it's pretty sturdy. It measures 7' tall by 10' wide. Then I stretched a pair of 7' tall sheer curtains across the frame, sewed them together, and weighted down the bottoms. The effect is pretty cool. It appears as if skeletons are rising out of the graves behind the screen and dancing around.

The DVDs are made by an outfit called AtmosFearFX. There's not much to them. No movies. - Just short clips made especially for producing special effects with a television or projector.

I don't have any pics or videos of our own yard yet and we've actually only got one working projector here now. The other two should be showing up within the next week.
