Hallowindow using garage door opening

This is my Halloween display. I am using my garage door opening to project the Hallowindow videos from Mark Gervais (www.hallowindow.com) onto an 88" screen. The screen is made from a queen sized bed sheet stretched over 2'x4's. I am using an Optoma Pro150 projector.

I also have a 20" CRT television in my front window that is playing a video loop of a moving green eye. (also from hallowindow.com)

Can i ask you why you bought such an expensive projector? Does it need an expensive one in order to work?

@2Ryled The projector wasnt that expensive. It was about $500. I did have a really junky projector at first, and found that it wasnt bright enough. This projector works out nicely for this task.

Is that some creapy bug or is that sound deliberatly coming from your halloween set up? That adds to the whole eerieness of the effect. Great job love it!

@2Ryled it is just some creepy sounding critter in the background. :)

great idea to use the garage!

[2Ryled]

Ive never priced proj until now. The cheapest ones are 500. I thought they would be cheaper bc even laptops have come way down in price. Still love your house! great job!!!!

@2Ryled Its all about lumnens of light... Brighter=Better/Bigger... You need at LEAST 2000 LUMENS to fill a garage opening. For a window you might be able to get away with 1500 LUMENS as long as your street is pitch black.

Do a google search for "Scene Setter Army of Skeletons"

That is what I used, I found it at my local Halloween store. I took 2x4s and built a frame, then stretched it over and stapled it. The skeletons come in two 4' high rolls that you need to tape together. I backlit them with some white christmas lights.
