Yeah, my house is on a Cul de sac as well. However there is on child that is "special needs" and it is a joy to watch his face light up every year when he trick-or-treats at our house and he gets half a bag of snickers dumped into his bucket.

One of my projects this year was to develop an animatronic controller without running wires all over the place. So today:

I did manage to discover my first limitation today as well. There are only 3.7 Billion-ish IP addresses available under IPV4. So I will have to keep the number of devices below that.

Time to replace all the expired items in my Zombie Apocolypse kit. LOL
Seriously, we go to mom-in-law's front porch on the route between the town's two block parties and the university...always good for costume (or lack thereof) viewing.

Some updates. I'll have a short progress clip in a few.

One more. This is as far as I get tonight. I've got more cheese cloth and a few other items on the way to finish this up.
This will make one of the 5 characters I'm creating for the scene. This is the largest of the 5. 3 of the characters will be animatronic (motion). This guy is just electronic... and PVC.

The hub that point to at the end is what will attach a cam to cause the whole assembly move up and down as it rotates.

Lots of rain this weekend so I'm inside working on the Graveyard pillars:

Still have to add sound to each pillar, more black lights, power strips, fog machine, then paint it all up to look like stone.
The side that you are seeing is the side that faces away from people looking at the scene. They'll be positioned 8 to 10 feet apart. The one without the scarecrow on it, will be 8 feet high while the one will the scarecrow will look like a partially crumbled pillar.

I bet you all didn't know that I could turn stuff to stone.
It may be a little too shiny but I'll look at it again after dark. Sometime a little bit of shine works depending on the lighting.

I have to stare at it for a really long time to get the whole thing to turn:
