Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
I survived another Halloween. We set a new record for ourselves with just over 200 trick-or-treaters this year. We ran out of treats and turned 19 kids away before deciding to raid the pantry of 'Lil Debbie Honey Buns, Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies, and cans of Mountain Dew. Kids started showing up a little after 5p.m. It was way too light outside for any of our holographic projections that soon but the folks that came later seemed to really enjoy the special effects.
The animated witch had a tendency to spook the smaller kids. It lights up, wiggles it's hips, nods it's head and talks. The cauldron has a fan in it that makes the lit up cloth flames look like fire.
The zombie butler doesn't do much but the candelabra flickers along with his eyes.
The undead in the graveyard moan as their heads turn back & forth. I doubt that most folks payed much attention to the tombstones, but gearheads would understand.
These 3 pumpkins seem to come to life when we project the imge of singing jack'0 Lanterns on them. They're pretty mundane before dark.
One of the 3 projectors we set up.
Big inflatable spider:
The witch hanging from the porch soffit lost her hat in the winds we've had this last week.
I forgot to buy new batteries for the camera this year so we were only able to take pictures of a few dozen trick-or-treaters.
Not shown is our front window display that had the shadowed animated images of trick-or-treaters being chased by monsters. Also not shown are the curtains hanging in our front yard that we projected images of skeletons rising from the ground onto.
