The Haunting Grounds - Cauldron Creep 2011

http://thehauntinggrounds.com

Take a look at our only new prop for the 2011 Halloween season. Get an up-close look at the mechanics behind the operation of this prop, and a few modifications that I found beneficial to the overall look and operation. This was our first attempt at building an animated prop, and the results were great. Inspired by the original creation by Devil's Chariot, here is The Haunting Grounds' interpretation of The Cauldron Creep.

@sk Austin what is the name of the pumpkin led light that changes color. Looked them up on eBay. Can't find anything that looks like that.

@godsflesh - go to Walmart(dot)com and search "Pumpkin Light with LED Colors" and you will get one result. That is the exact one that i used. If you google "color changing pumpkin light, you will get a variety of different brands, but will also find the same model I used at a better price. I bought mine at Price Chopper.

I think I forgot to mention in the video that I put the light into a ziploc sandwich baggie in the cauldron to protect it from the residue left behind by the fog.

Good job. I really like how this prop turned out. I'm tempted to redo my stirring witch now.
