Haunted Tombstone Projection Effect

After several months of preparation, I'm pleased to announce that the new Mr. Chicken's Haunted Tombstone is now available.

What is it?  The Haunted Tombstone is a very simple projection effect that anyone with access to a video projector -- any video projector -- can do.  You simply project my animated tombstone video onto a blank tombstone that you cut out, so it's sure to be just right for your haunt.

Watch the demo video below to see all the cool, creepy effects, and scroll down a little further for the how-to video.

The Haunted Tombstone video loop is available (in HD and standard definition .mp4 format) for download for $25 via Paypal here.

You can comment below or email me with any questions at ChickenHaunt [at] gmail.com

I believe I did my brother's cat whiskers, too.

Mom's black sweater, Dad's shoes... yeah, this was the coolest thing ever.  

Oh, P.S. I served the trick-or-treaters candy from a dry ice filled cauldron.  Does this count as a first haunt?

The Creature Lives!

You may recall the reptile sculpture I posted earlier.  What I didn't mention was that was to be the skin of an animatronic creature for a (very) short film I wrote and directed.  It screened in the theater today and got laughs in all the right places, even with a fairly small audience.

Have a watch (and hopefully a chuckle):
