Title: Halloween show
Post by: chrisatpsu on September 29, 2015, 01:39:47 pm

What songs do you use for Halloween time?  Planning on doing a show for next year.

They don't even have to be Halloween themed.

Also what days do you run your show? Only Halloween night? do you start early? run late?

Hi Chris,

So far my Halloween show is very basic. I purchased a Disney Haunted Mansion CD so I use some of those songs along with the Monster Mash, the Addams Family theme music. No sync with the lights. This year I am hoping to start doing some Peppers Ghost images/videos. I found some free videos online that I might use. One has the ghost slimmer from Ghost Busters that is been shot at by the Ghost Busters weapon. We had great weather last year and there was at times girls out front singing with the songs. I did have my windows RGB frames going from Orange and Purple and I used Blue LEDs lights over the front door to give off some better theming than the normal light bulb. The lights were on for about a week before the 31st and the sound just played that night.

We have played the same 4 songs for the last 5 years.
Addams family
Purple People Eaters
Chipmunks Witch Doctor
Ghost Busters

We get about 500 trick or treaters and we always have people dancing in the driveway.
We only play our show on Halloween night.

Rick, do you then, just use a projector to shine on your windows from inside?

John, do you have a normal light show with your songs?

Chris,
We have 3 singing pumpkins, a singing tree and a matrix panel that we animate.

I do the 4 coro faces. If you try NC/XL 4 you just type the lyrics to get singing faces it goes pretty fast. I also have several spots on the house and do a thunder and lightning flashes every several songs. I have the standards and try to do a current song each year to add in.  I wanted to use the projector and movie screen this year  and show black and white monster movie clips, but I am having knee surgery next Friday so I don't think I will be able to put it up....maybe next year.
