I was cleaning off my workbench (first time for everything) to make room for some new projects and found I had several items that would make great Halloween effects. Thought maybe this year I'd do something with them.
I have 3 disposiable camera flashes, converted to strobe (plus a bag full I never messed with). Never figured a good way to get them to run off anything besides 1.5 batteries. Wired in series, they worked okay off a 5v wallwart. Nice lightning effect, as the charge and flash at slightly different rates (10 to 15 seconds).
LED candle circuits (several attempts) for jack-o-lanerns, torches (not flashlight, like in the UK).
Fading Red Eyes, should start shopping for a cheap plastic skull or something...
Those are pretty much ready to use, just a few minutes to install. Was wondering if anybody has some quick and cheap circuit/prop ideas to add to the list.
