Halloween Haunted House Design and Equipment

Due to conditions beyond our control we will not be able to take orders for anything but manually controlled animated props and lighting controllers until further notice.

This large demonic "toy" is a MUST for any Haunted House play room! As your victims walk into the room they will hear the nightmarish tune playing in anticipation of Jack's eminent arrival. Suddenly Jack bursts up and out teeth first! Jack's head peeks at about 4 feet!

The box is about 22 inches square and the head is life size! The head and the box lid automatically resets in preparation for its next performance.

Two Shock in the Box models are available. Both come with a CD for providing the musical ambience. The CD player is not included.

Electro-field motion detector activates the show controller. The controller activates a custom-made mono sound effect (a "BOING" spring like sound and a demonic scream) which is played to your boom box or stereo system for that BIG sound. This is NOT a loop tape. It is a digital sound chip system with a cassette player adapter. This sound system is a Spooky F/X innovated design and exclusive at this time. The "brain" includes a built in preset event controller.

Price is only $1100 plus S&H

Manually operated unit with an electric switch. This switch is connected to the unit with a 50 ft low profile cable. This model also includes the synchronized digital sound effects as described above.

I received your SIB yesterday and was totally amazed at how beautiful it looks! The workmanship and detail is outstanding.

Email from Robert W.
Hope business is good and all is well. The props are working great and are going to be the centerpieces for this years display. The built in sounds for both "pop out corpse" and "shock in the box" are AWESOME! Thanks again for all your hard work!!

"Little Jack Wiles"

Little Jack Wiles was the most quiet of boys,
who played all alone with his numerous toys.

His parents were entirely too busy all day
to visit other people with children to play.

To satisfy an impulse they adopted him.
But this youngster was not their only whim

Old money was what consumed their life.
Travel abroad for Mr. Wiles and his wife.

This was not so for the little boy Jack
His place was at home until they got back.

To oversee the boy they left an old maid.
But for her, love of children did long since fade.

They gave her money to purchased him toys.
Books, distractions and more hollow joys.

Jack learned to hate his many possessions
He soon realized they were all mere concessions.

Without moral guidance his heart grew black
The toys became victims of bitter attack.

Battered and broken each suffered in turn.
As fast as he got them they soon earned his spurn.

So many new toys were obtained by the maid
that too little attention to content was paid.

Things grab at random from here and from there.
Any shop she was in, she just did not care.

Toys not fitting for children his age,
books with unsuitable thoughts on its page.

One of these books was a grimoire that knew
what symbols of power could make wishes come true.

In his warped mind he hatched a dark plot
to transform the toys his parents had bought.

All the toys would become such terrible things.
Living examples form his horrible dreams.

Alas, his design had a serious flaw,
He himself a mere toy, purchased by law.

Jack became that which he tried to devise,
a demonic plaything, who could be more surprised?

With a whirl and a click, the lid now unlocks

Manually operated air valve unit. This is a mechanical air valve that is operated by hand. It opens and closes the air line that feeds the animatronic. This basic unit comes with 25 foot of low pressure air hose. It operates without any batteries or electrical power running to the animatronic.

Hey I just got the Flailer in yesterday. nice work!!! looks great and
looks absolutely horrid!!!

The Flailer works great! I will be doing more business with you in the near future. I like several things in your product line! Tomorrow night is the first night of the annual Boston back yard terror walk, I can't wait to use the Flailer.
THANKS AGAIN

Our special design allows this to be the FASTEST moving pneumatic animatronic of this style on the market, and yet it only uses about 25 PSI. (Shop air compressor not included).

Electro-field motion detector activates the show controller. The controller triggers the custom-made mono sound effect which is played to your boom box or stereo system for that BIG sound. This is NOT a loop tape. It is a digital sound chip system with a cassette player adapter. This sound system is a Spooky F/X invented design and exclusive at this time. The "brain" includes a built in preset event controller.

It is about 5 foot tall and jumps into the air over the victims to a total of
about 9 feet (from the top of the corpse head to the floor)

Our efficient and compact design (on all our products) allows us to avoid the expensive cargo crate shipping costs our competitors must use.

The yard's actually been good enough the past couple of years that several

students at the Brooks Institute of Photography have asked permission to take

extensive shoots of the display

We are progressing substantially with the "decor" and hope to make this year's haunt

the best ever, with your great props anchoring the entire scene.

In 2005, we added the "Corpse Leaper" with excellent results. The ever-growing

throng of neighbors coming by loved it! I was especially pleased with the effect it

had on one of neighborhood teen-age ruffian who claimed our yard didn't scare him at

all: when old "grandma" came flying and screaming out at him he literally fell

backwards into some shrubs and emerged with a much paler complextion!

Thanks for being such a tremendous asset to our group.

Best regards,

Richard Heilman

We just got the Leaper and wanted to let you know that this is one of the finest pneumatic scares I have ever used!

It showed up in great shape! Fantastic packing job and was so easy to setup, my 5 year old could do it.

But one thing I really wanted to point out that really impressed me was the control box for the prop. WOW, it is by far the best organized and functional system I have ever used in my over 20 years of haunting. You are setting new standards for haunt props.

After we got the prop set up, �just had to test it out!� we where stunned on how fast and effective this scare is and on only 25 PSI! Thank you very much on making a fantastic product and we look forward to years of use and buying more props from you.

Same person (Robert Lupo) sent this to us on November 8th 2005 after he used it in his 2005 Haunt:

"every time it activated, it scared the hell out of everyone! Such a great prop! It will always be one of my favorites!"

Just wanted to drop you a line and tell you I'm having my best Halloween yet thanks to you guys. The people's favorite is the Jumping zombie. But I'm going to surprise every one with the Leaping Corpseon Halloween for the big scare, its my big secret. The Flailer gets positive results also (it is my favorite) I'm looking forward to next Halloween for my next round of shopping from you. I know you all are busy but just had to tell you your products are the best and looking forward to working with you next year

I just wanted to let you know I got the Leaper; and let me tell you I could not be happier with it. I have not had a chance to scare anyone yet but I cant wait till I do. You guys did an awesome job with this. I still cannot believe how fast it is at only 30psi. And the corpse is perfect. Great Job!

Hi, my name is Larry Wilson and my company is LCN Productions. We ordered the Leaping Corpse from you last year and it was fantastic!

From: timewarrior@hotmail.com (Joshua H.) It's great!!! I love it!!!! I'm thinking about getting the Flailer too.

I was setting up the leaping corpse last night when a buddy stopped by to talk. He was in front of the leaping corpse (which I had blocked off at a safe distance). As I was talking to him, I eased over to the remote and set it off. Yelling his head off he jumped back two feet and drew his fist back as if he was going to punch it! It was the funniest damn thing you ever saw.

Subject: The effectiveness of the LEAPING CORPSE concept.

I saw my first one of these at a professional haunt inside of a very large
nursery/pond store/garden shop. I KNEW ahead of time (from reading the posts
on the web) what it probably was and probably what would happen. I looked down and saw the triggering device and again knew what it was for. It STILL made me jump! It is a wonderful prop, a definite pant-wetter!

It is more than just impressive. If you have the space for it, it is awesome. The fist time I saw it was in DarkWrath Keep. You walk down a corridor past some various displays and at an intersection in the corridor, if I remember correctly, something off to your left caught your attention, you would see a really scary looking ghost at the end of it, some 10 feet away or so. Then immediately the ghost would fly toward you and leap into the air about 7 or 8 feet high, stopping just in front of your face. The entire ghost fully in flight the whole way. This is one of those things that kills me that I don't have yet because of space limitations of my haunt!

I have been meaning to write you this letter since before Halloween. I just wanted you to know that I received the Leaping Corpse I ordered from you in perfect condition. In regard to the use of the Leaping Corpse, I can honestly say that it was a "frightful" Halloween for all of our visitors. We have used many props over the years, but yours was absolutely incredible. The look of terror on their faces when I activated the unit was beyond compare. The most common reactions were ducking, running, and pants wetting. God you have to love this Halloween thing, don't you? Anyway, we were extremely pleased with the quality and reliability of the unit. We will certainly be ordering again this year and we hope you keep up the good work for a long time to come. Our Halloween visitors are counting on you. Good luck and thanks again for your wonderful products.

It was the highlight of my Haunted House. I could not have been happier with
it. I am still laughing at the video I have of the Leaper in action.
I am already getting my wish list together for next year, so you will be
hearing from me soon. Hope you had a good Halloween.
Later, Darren

This HALF corpse (a head and torso) is designed to fly horizontally out at its victims through a window, doorway or any kind of opening or hole in the wall or set.

It is powered by a shop air compressor and a reservoir air tank (not included). It is about 5 foot tall and will fly out about 5 feet .

Similar units will cost over $2500 plus shipping.

"The Perfect Storm" is a tempest that may happen only once in a century! It is a meteorologist�s colloquialism for a hurricane or typhoon created by a rare combination of factors. These storms are some of the strongest and most terrifying manifestations of nature's strength.

This Spooky F/X Lightning Show Controller comes with a special sound effects CD.

Track 3� Rolling Thunder

Track 4� Thunder with long pauses

Track 5� Rain with Thunder

Track 6� Wind with Thunder

Track 7� Wind and Distant slow Thunder *

Track 8� Wind with One Occasional Thunder clap

Track 9�Rain with Wind and Thunder

* The light flashes and then after a few seconds the thunder booms. However this duration varies to make it sound like the lighting is moving in closer and then farther away.

Each track is about 5 minutes long. The duration between the claps of thunder is NOT repeated. Put another way, you would have to listen to the track for at least 10 minutes before you could hear a pattern in the duration between thunder strikes. Most of your audience will never detect a pattern because 5 minutes is too long to even try.

These custom-made sound effects are played using your CD player (not included) which is connected to the controller box by your CD player's HEAD PHONE output. You then connect the controller to your amplifier, or your amplified speaker system (not included) with the provided patch cable.

You can also connect it to your boom box or stereo system using a cassette player adapter (not included but easy to buy locally). Note: You must use our CD with this equipment, it will not work with a third party sound effects source. The CD is included in the purchase price.

This exclusive system is another great Spooky F/X innovated design. We have been selling the original Perfect Storm for many years on the internet.

This controller is designed to handle power well beyond all other lighting controllers in this price range.

AND unlike many other lightning controller units, the Perfect Storm Category 5 works with BOTH incandescent flood lights and /or strobe lights!

No other lighting controller at this price can handle this high number of amps at the same time!

And that means no other lighting controller at this price can handle the number of light bulbs or strobe lights that the Perfect Storm Category 5 from Spooky F/X can!

Our product, unlike other lightning controller units is NOT just a "color organ". It is designed to flash both incandescent and strobe lights in synchronization with the thunder but it is not effected at all by the wind and rain sounds!

You may use any standard screw-in base flood lamp available from your local hardware store. Both tungsten and halogen bulbs work, but halogen bulbs produce a more intense white light.

In most cases even normal household 60 or 100 watt light bulbs will work great because your spectators are normally in very low light levels. Thus, any sudden flash of a bright light will look like lightning. Using 100 watt bulbs will allow you to connect 31 bulbs (for 31 different locations in your Haunt) to the same controller. Or use FIVE photographers bulbs at 600 watts each! Or even a couple of 1500 watt bulbs!

One very good application is to mix different light sources to get a full and realistic lighting effect by mixing incandescent blue flood lights with flashing strobe lights.

This way you get the visual POP from the strobe yet the visual DECAY of the incandescent light. This Idea was sent to us by a customer. Using our Perfect Storm to work a combination of different types of lights is very cool and a clever use of our high power capacity lighting controller.

NO OTHER LIGHTNING CONTROLLER EVEN CLOSE TO THIS PRICE CAN DO WHAT THIS ONE CAN!

But during our low rush periods Lighting Controllers will be delivered 2 to 3 weeks after we receive your payment.

This expedited payment/order option is only for Lighting Controllers at this time.

Hey! Got the system up & running. Borrowing 2 - 650 wt strobes from a
photographer friend, and running 3 legs of rope lights, looks awesome!
Thanks again, for your timely service, and will recommend you to others.

Well I have the Perfect Storm machine and all the lights up and running. WOW it looks great. People are already stopping to see what I am doing.

Thanks again.

I have the Perfect Storm by Spooky F/X and it is great. This will be the 4th season running it and it hasn't given me any problems.

... you'll find this to be one of the
things people talk about every year.

Hello,

... we received the Perfect Storm and set it up that night to
test it. It was awesome! Way more than we expected. It's been awfully
difficult not to show it to anyone until our Halloween party. Thank you
so much.

We hooked up my Perfect Storm Thunder/Lightning
machine that I bought from www.SpookyFX.com
and man is that thing cool. Those of you that don't have one have to get
one. The CD of sound effects that it comes with is awesome. We've barely
just begun to experiment with it and are blown away. Permanent grins on all
our faces as folks on the sidewalk jumped when the thunder struck. Didn't
hurt that we ran it through a 400 watt amplifier and hooked up a set of 200
watt speakers. My father's bringing huge powered subwoofers to hook to it
tomorrow so the neighbors on the other side of the cemetery can experience
the Perfect Storm as well.

Got the controller today and have been testing it all night. It works wonderfully.
Very nice job. I'm glad I went with yours as the microphone connection on those knock-offs would have been a disaster in my application (and most others I would imagine).

Lt Col Brandon

Note from Spooky F/X: The microphone connection Brandon is referring to is many other company's lighting controllers connect to the sound effects. They use a microphone to listen to the sounds in the room. This is also sometimes called an AIR LINK.

Works like a charm, no Halloween pun intended. Great
product. Can't wait for the 31st!

I'm very impressed with the SpookF/X's Perfect Storm.

I keep adding to it and haven't max'ed it out yet. I mix three types of light for my effect (strobes, blue, and incandescent with the clamp-on silver reflectors from Big Lots)

When you look at it in person it really looks great! Of course a lot of loud bass with the thunder just brings it all together. By hitting multiple senses more or less at once the crowd loves it.

You're really looking for the overall combined effect, which is so good in person.

We like your idea of mixing different light sources to get the full and realistic lighting effect. The idea of mixing incandescent blue flood lights with flashing strobe lights.

This way you get the visual POP of the strobe yet the visual DECAY of the incandescent light. Using our Perfect Storm to work a combination of different types of lights is very cool and clever use of our high power capacity lighting controller.
