Animated Halloween Props

When done right, good Halloween party decorations and props can give your adult guests genuine chills they'll remember long after the party. One of the most efficient ways to give your decor more psychological impact is to select a theme. A coherent theme helps set the mood great than a range of random decorations.

Straight Out of a bad dream Movie

Animated Halloween Props

If you're a movie buff, this theme will be easy to create. Say your favorite scary movie is Psycho. Set up your entry way to look like the lobby of the Bates motel, complete with guest book. In the living room, dress up a corpse or skeleton prop as the late Mrs. Bates. And don't forget to put the remains of poor Marion Crane in the shower. With the bad dream movie set theme, details as a matter of fact help. Using the Psycho theme as an example, you might hang a lenticular changing portrait in your living room and label it "Mother."

Haunting Ghosts

Even those who claim they "don't believe in ghosts" still get a dinky spooked by seemingly paranormal action when the mood is right. To as a matter of fact rock the ghost theme, don't skimp on your ghost decorations and props. Hanging bed sheets won't cut it. What you want, at least for your most graphic ghosts, are specters that look like they used to be human. It's the twisted faces, pale skin and hollow eyes that as a matter of fact creep citizen out. If you have some room in your Halloween decorations budget, look into a ghost illusion prop. These task semi-transparent, 3-D figures that look disturbingly realistic. Ghost illusion Dvds will get you a similar supervene cheaper.

A Night with the Devil

This is another theme that's more about chills than gore. To get the most out of this theme, set up a devil prop that's as life-like as you can find. Place him where your guests will be spending most of their time, either that's in the living room or face nearby a bonfire. To compliment your devil, pick up some ghouls and demons. Decent motion- or sound-activated enthralling demons can be found for less than . Hang up a few winged demons and leave standing ones lurking in dark corners. Placing one face on a window ledge looking in also creates a nice creepy effect.

Let us cut right to the chase...or right to the screaming as many of the folks on this list would prefer! Not only am I married to a top home haunter, I have been a big fan of horror movies (also called monster movies) for years. In my experience, as a fan of the genre, here are my top ten monsters of all time!

10. Kraken (1981)

Animated Halloween Props

From the 1981 Clash of the Titans, this is a beast that stirs the imagination. Although the Kraken is a beast of myth, it is the film version that everyone remembers. Who could forget the end scene of the customary Clash of the Titans where the Kraken comes for Andromeda? (What he wanted her for is not clear to me. Did he plan to eat her? invite her to go for a swim?) At any rate, the Kraken was brought to life by the stop-motion animation of Ray Harryhausen, a legend in horror and fantasy movies. The image of Perseus turning the Kraken to stone is classic and so is this multi-armed monster in this writer's opinion.

9. beast From the Black Lagoon (all versions)

There have been many movies about terrific sea creatures, but beast From the Black Lagoon is still the best. (Sorry, Jaws!) Released in 1954, it features a monster-like gill-man discovered on an expedition in the Amazon. Like many famed monsters of the silver screen, the beast spawned sequels. The customary beast of the Black Lagoon movie is being remade for a 2011 release, agreeing to the Imdb Web site.

8. Mummy (Boris Karloff)

Boris Karloff makes his first appearance on our list! The Mummy, directed by Karl Freund, is a 1932 horror film from Universal Studios. It starred Karloff as a revived old Egyptian minister called Imhotep. While the movie is not a drop-dead scare fest, it is a classic that is in the collective memory of our society. When population think of mummies, they invariably think of Karloff shuffling out of his sarcophagus in bandages. The Mummy was semi-remade in The Mummy's Hand (1940) but it was Karloff's version that began the Mummy movies.

7. Michael Myers (all versions)

Michael Myers is the one who started the slasher genre. He first showed up in 1978's Halloween as a young boy who murders his older sister, and then returns home years later to kill again. His fights with Jamie Lee Curtis in the first two Halloween movies are excellent examples of how scary movie chases should work. Although, I think Michael's fights with Donald Pleasence (who played Dr. Loomis) are the best parts of the Halloween films. The only negative aspects to the Halloween movies to me are the continuity issues. For instance, Halloween Iii, although not a bad movie, has nothing to do with the other installments. Also, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later approximately ignores established continuity from earlier movies with no explanation.

6. Dracula (Bela Lugosi)

Bela Lugosi was a Hungarian actor, best known for playing Count Dracula in the Broadway play and classic Universal Studios Dracula films, too. The now classic Dracula that made Lugosi a star came out in 1931. Although the movie is a little slow and not as moving as other Universal classics, such as the Frankenstein films, Lugosi made the film work. No matter how many vampire movies are made, too, this is the most memorable. Ask anyone who is Dracula and they immediately think of Bela's Dracula. His Dracula is an icon.

5. Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund)

Robert Englund is best known for playing serial killer Freddy Krueger in the horror on Elm road film series. agreeing to Wikipedia, he received a Saturn Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for A horror on Elm road 3: Dream Warriors in 1987 and A horror on Elm road 4: The Dream master in 1988. I am not surprised. He was excellent as Freddy. The new Freddy cannot hold a candle, or dingy red sweater, to Englund. He approached playing Freddy with a mixture of horror and comedy. His witty banter with his victims is the stuff of legend.

4. Wolfman (Lon Chaney Jr.)

"Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may come to be a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright."

When you talk about werewolves, there is none good than Lon Chaney's Wolfman in the 1941 Universal Studios movie. From the iconic makeup to the gypsy curse, it is Chaney's Wolfman that society knows best, and with good surmise - it is a darn good movie that stands the test of time.

3. Frankenstein's Monster (Boris Karloff)

Do I assuredly have to write that Boris Karloff's portrayal of the Frankenstein Monster is a classic beast of the cinema? The crash of thunder, the sizzling laboratory machines, the monster's hand moving-these are the images we all have embedded in our minds. No version of the Frankenstein Monster gets good than Karloff's version from the classic 1931 horror film.

2. Leatherface (all versions)

Leatherface is the main killer in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre horror-film series. He wears masks made of his victims' skin (which is where the name Leatherface comes from) and is the character from the movie who usually carries a chainsaw. Not only is Leatherface one of the first slasher-type villains but he is drop-dead scary! While I think all versions of Leatherface are scary as heck, the best Leatherface actors were Gunnar Hansen (from the first Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and Bill Johnson (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2). I still think the scene in Massacre 2 when Leatherface runs, chainsaw roaring, out of the darkened radio hub toward the lead female actor is horrifying.

1. Jason Voorhees (all versions)

Sure, Kane Hodder has played Jason more than any other actor, but I can't pick one Jason that is good than another. Each actor who played the undead slasher Jason Voorhees brought something new to the role. Jason Voorhees is the killer from the Friday the 13th series. He first appeared in Friday the 13th (1980); although, he was not the main villain in the first movie. Jason is a great character because of the iconic hockey mask, the creepy camp setting, and because you feel some condolement for him. He was a deformed child who was mocked by peers and ignored by camp counselors. He also loves his mommy. (Watch the movies and you will see what I mean.) Because he evokes condolement in the audience, he is a little like Frankenstein's Monster but certainly more evil.

You've seen those fun, entertaining characters that move, wave, jump, and scare the heck out of you in haunted houses at Halloween. Those are called animatronics, and sometimes called mechatronics. Many are very sophisticated and difficult to build, but many are very easy. In this record we'll offer some tips on how you can get started with simple projects.

Tip 1 - Don't be overwhelmed by those complicated animatronics props you see in professional haunted houses. Some day you may want to build those, but for now, start small. The first thing you might want to do is peruse some animatronics in action. A great way to do this is to keep your eyes open whenever you go to the grocery store, hardware store, or craft store. Watch for any entertaining displays. If you stay alert, you will often see rotating signs advertising in-store specials. They're regularly cardboard signs attached to a motor that is powered by a join of small batteries. Look inside of them. Go around back and see how they are assembled. A goldmine for checking out entertaining objects is any store that sets up holiday displays. Study those displays and you will learn a lot. You will see that most of them operate with very simple motors and levers.  

Animated Halloween Props

Tip 2 - Learn about simple levers. You will be amazed at how easy and fun it is to make objects move with basic levers. They are one of the most leading ingredients in almost all animatronics and mechatronics.  

Tip 3 - Read about animatronics. Your local library and the internet are great resources. Quest for terms like animatronics, mechatronics, and robots.  

Tip 4 - Go online or to your local hobby store and buy basic hobby kits that include gears, motors, and other animatronics. Not only will you learn a lot, but you will have huge fun!
