Tratsh Can - Halloween Prop

UPDATE: The .html link below has been fixed for the build site.

An "inside look" at a pneumatic animatronic prop made for my "Home Haunt," Halloween 2007. Designed and built by Michael Sibbernsen. A near "step by step" building guide for this prop can be found at http://tinyurl.com/TratshCan Please enjoy the video.

Add some special effect lighting to this, and it's one of the best trashcan props I've ever seen! :D

@laeinc Thank you!

Yes indeed, with the added sound and lights on Halloween night, this became a fun-scary hit.

Be sure to take a look at the "T'Rat'sh Can Redu" video. The Children's Museum I donated the prop to last year added some of their own thoughts and atmospherics. The visitor's love it.

@floresa73 and Everyone.

My sincere apologies for the downed step-by-step web site. The page was lost during a server change some time ago, but was recently found, and put back online. Enjoy!
