Hello All,

Welcome to My Halloween Page for 2006. We've decided to do things a little different from now on. It was finally starting to get out of hand. We decided that we would bring back a lot of our old Halloween favorites, and in addition to these we are then going to add a new feature to be used for one year only. Build it, use it one year, and then tear it apart to be used for the next years feature. The new feature this year is the Pumpkin Cannon (it's way cool.) We received many compliments for this one.

If  any of you Automation types want to contribute to the cause, I'll let you.

The videos at the bottom will show the stuff actually moving: The cannon "Shoots" a pumpkin across the street. Note the "Splat Pumpkin" on my very understanding neighbor's s house. We  still have the Raven. He flaps his wings, tilts forward and backward, rotates his head, and his eyes flash red, Ghosts light up and pop up, Creature tries to escape from the coffin, Three pumpkins rise up and light up (The Pumpkin Dance), The rocking chairs are lit up and rock. Mr. and Mrs. Skeleton, and Jr. are rocking and greeting guests. The spider travels his web from top to bottom, The fog machine adds ambiance, Lights and pumpkins add to the festivities, and of course Disney's "Grim Grinning Ghosts" Haunted Mansion Theme Song is playing in the background.

Enjoy!   

The Pumpkin Cannon. It took five of us to get this onto the roof. Note the loud speaker and spot light.
