PJMonty from SoCalHalloween sure knows how to rig up some great animatronics! The bird and talking skull are funny and spooky at the same time! This project was entered in the Halloween Project Contest, which by the way there is still time to enter.

If you have a need for a DIY 30KV power supply have a look at this one that Daniel Eindhoven from megavolts. nl has built! You may have to scrounge for the parts for a few years though since it took 30 microwaves to get the needed parts.

Mr Fixit Rick has been hard at work building a machine that demons from the afterlife can talk through. It makes for a great Halloween centerpiece. Well maybe it doesn’t exactly channel demons but it is still lots of fun.
