DC Electric Chair Victim with Custom Wheel Chair


"Twitch" as we like to call him is a brand new Electric Chair armature housed within a Ghost Ride body form. It also features a latex host ride head and "curl" hands. He was originally going to go in our haunt, but due to the violent movement and different theme, we never ended up using him. The chair was used for our cripple prop. We have a prisoner outfit and straight jacket that will be included.

The Wheel chair is custom hand built based off an antique wheelchair. It is a solid steel frame with hard wood inlays. Approx 40hrs of fabrication went into the chair.

Includes pre-programmed Hauntbots controller with infrared sensor and all pneumatics.

Requires Freight Shipping - pickup recommended

Spider Victim

The Spider Victim is a custom erratic moving character that is suspended from the ceiling via a large cocoon of faux spider webs. Movements include moving head tilt, kicking legs, leaning torso and 2 movement outreaching arm. Custom audio track also included.

The prop is build around a custom DC erratic hangman kicker, Ghost Ride Body form, Ghost ride hands, and Midnight Ghoul head. It is coated in multiple layers of latex and cheesecloth and finished in a coat of latex coated webs (approx 3 gallons of heavy mold builders latex were used in webbing this guy in @ $75 a gallon). We recommend spraying the character and surroundings with additional webs to make it more realistic. Materials alone w/o any labor ran $3800.

All SMC 24V 2100 series valves, wiring, & tubing are included. No controller is included, but one can be added for an additional charge.

The DC RIP Tombstone is an oversized tombstone that houses a half toe pincher coffin that rises up from behind the tomb 24"; exposing your prop (corpse not included) surrounded in a plush red satin lined coffin. Plywood and 2x4 framed coffin with steel and polyethylene guided lift mechanism. The tombstone is painted in multiple coats of granite paint, and sealed with UV resistant clear coat.

The RIP is illuminated from above with green rope light. It has been used in our haunt for 5years but is in great condition. Coffin folds into tombstone for compact storage.

This prop can be manually controlled via a hand held trigger or wireless hand held trigger - or automated with a simple controller (add $120).

Requires 100psi air supply, 110V power and a controller is recommended.

Price $1100.00 w/o corpse (approx size is 48" wide, 30" tall, & 36" deep with coffin at an angle) Requires freight shipping or local pickup)



Two Way Mirror Corpse


Used in our indoor morgue for 2 seasons (approx 12 days) this Large 2 way mirror with antique picture frame appears to be a standard mirror until controller detects movement, then main light (in your room) turns off, and light behind mirror turns on, exposing the red eyed evil skele. Price includes Prop1 controller with two 110V relays (one normally on, and the other normally off), power supply, controller case, all wiring and Infrared Sensor. Corpsed and antiqued bucky torso (included) mounts to wall behind mirror.

VERY Minor scuffs/scratches on mirror. Acrylic Mirror (w/o frame) cost $450 alone!

Price $800


Tombstone Popper


Used in our outdoor cemetery scene last year, this tombstone popper is a simple vertical lifter ($440) that has a ExMortis tombstone ($85), Ghostride "haunted man" head ($99 ), pre-programed prop 1 controller, audio player, speaker, and PIR.

When triggered, the audio player plays a cool disney-esque scream and the head pops up from behind the tombstone. It also has LED lighting to illuminate the tombstone and head.

Disney HM Lovers - This is a very Disney-esque prop - hence the reason I built it :)

Nearly new, may have a few cob webs and dust - otherwise its almost new (maybe activated 20X over 2 days)

Price $900



Nanny & Peek-A-Boo

The Nanny and Peek-A-Boo is a MORBID yet very cool 4 movement prop that features a full skeletal character (corpsed and antiqued) with our animated skull that holds a crying baby. The skeleton is supported on a heavyweight steel platform to keep her standing throughout movement.

When activated the baby begins to cry, then a few seconds later the nanny's skull lifts and looks away from the corpsed baby towards your viewers, opens it mouth and screams, followed by the corpsed baby popping up while screaming and spraying a mist of water out of its nose.

Price includes character's, preprogrammed controller, amplified audio player, water reservoir, and all power and pneumatics. 100% self contained and plug and play.

Price $2300 (requires freight shipping) Approx size - 5' tall, 30" wide, 12" deep, and weights about 120lbs)

Attacking Spider

Technically this is brand new as the spider was used as a static prop for only 2 days, but the mechanism is brand new (the valve bank is very lightly used), and controller is 100% brand new.
The Attacking Spider is driven by a 3 movement "arm" enabling the spider to move independently in 3 ways: lifts off the ground, tilts to attack, then lunges forward at your viewers before spraying water at desired intervals.

The spider is a Distortions Unlimited oversized Black Widow ($250) and was modified by inserting 5/16" steel rods into each leg and a steel subframe in the body. The leg armatures are heavy duty, but when the prop moves, the legs and body bounce with a cool lifelike motion.

Includes custom pre-programmed controller (with PIR-infrared sensor), 110V relay for switched lighting (turns on a 110V light or strobe during attack movements) movement platform, all wiring & pneumatics (SMC 24V DC valve bank - est value $400), DC High Volume Spitter Mechanism, and spider.

Price $1700 (requires freight shipping)



Skull Chandelier


This skull chandelier is a very cool heavy duty prop that will look great in any haunt. It is built out of resin and fiber reinforcements and weights approx 50lbs.

It has been modified with an SD flicker Circuit and real wax candles, so it appears to have burning candles.

One of the "arms" was damaged, but was fixed (re fiberglassed and reinforced internally) and is not noticeable.

Price $550 (requires additional packaging, and UPS oversized shipping)

DC Prop Builders Handbook
(Volume 1)

The DC Prop Builders Handbook is 135 pages of highly detailed prop building instructions, including tons of pictures and diagrams to aid you in the construction of 22 of our prop designs. The designs included in this book are: The Skeletal Organist, Pipe Organ, Stump Jumper, Rocking Chair, two Coffins, Ghost Heads, Pneumatic lifter, Pneumatic Extender, and many more. The book also has a section on basic pneumatics to guide you on your way to create your own (pneumatically driven) Devious Concoctions.

Price $40.00


DC Prop Builders Handbook
(Volume 2)

The Second DC Prop Builders Handbook is the newest addition to the DC Prop Builders Handbook series featuring 137 pages of extremely descriptive instructions to create yet another 10 of our unique designs. These designs include the following: Heavy Duty Lifter, Pneumatic Extender (scissor lift/extender), Drop Panels, Un-Dead Coffin (and erector mechanism), Thrashing Corpse, Thrashing Doors, The Mourner, Lightning Window, Air Cannons, & Pneumatic Web Shooter.

The second edition was been in the makings for almost two years, so no expense has been spared in detailing every step, as well as the addition of a multitude of diagrams for every drilling pattern and questionable construction step. The second book also has far more pictures added (average of 2 per page) with much higher resolution prints. So the building process should be easy to follow even though the props are slightly more difficult.

The book also has an in depth introduction to computer control and pneumatics, so not only will you have the instructions to build the prop, but the knowledge of it's internal workings and a means of control.

DC Heavy Lifter


The DC Heavy Lifter is a professional built 4 bar lifter that lifts any prop (up to 50lbs safely) 36" from a starting point of 12" up to 48" (lifter platform height). The lifter includes a mounting platform for easy mounting of just about any prop (custom mounting brackets available upon request) that remains parallel to the ground during the entire travel (lift and descent) (ie your prop will only move up and slightly towards the vertical beams of the lifter).

The heavy lifter is perfect for use behind larger tombstones or scenic items with heavier props such as a full skeleton.

Built using 14 Gauge tubular steel and professional pneumatics (bimba cylinder, SMC valve and fittings) Kit includes everything needed to operate and control and ships ready to run* out of the box.

Welded mounting brackets included

Size 30" x 12" x 18"
Price $420.00

 

 



DC Medium Lifter

(for standard props)

The DC Medium Lifter is the same mechanism as our heavy lifter, but engineered to animate lighter props (up to 30-40 lbs safely) from a starting point of 12" up to 34" (22" of travel).

This lifter is designed as an "all around" lifter for haunt use, and can be used in a wide range of applications.

The lifter lifts up, and comes forward toward the viewer, so this is a perfect armature for use behind a bush, tombstone, or other faced item.

Built using 14 Gauge tubular steel and professional pneumatics (bimba cylinder, SMC valve and fittings) Kit includes everything needed to operate and control and ships ready to run* out of the box.

Welded mounting brackets included

Size 28" x 18" x 10"
Price $380.00



DC Light Lifter

(for lightweight props)

The The DC Light Lifter was designed to animate simple props such as foam heads with masks, or upper body props that do not require alot of lifting force. The light lifter is engineered to operate a 20" travel from a starting point of 10" up to 30" (lifter platform height).

The light lifter is smaller and a much simpler design then the other lifters which makes it a great introductory armature for first time users that have wanted to get into haunting with air, but did not require large heavy duty mechanisms. Its simplistic design allows a lower price, while still achieving the strength, durability, and ease of use as the entire DC line of armatures.

Built using 14 Gauge tubular steel and professional pneumatics (bimba cylinder, SMC valve and fittings) Kit includes everything needed to operate and control and ships ready to run* out of the box.

Commonly used behind tombstones or similar objects with smaller light weight (up to 25lbs) props.

Includes mounting holes in base for easy mounting.

Size 18" x 12" x 10"
Price $295.00

 

 

 

 




DC Torso Erector


The DC torso lifter is a professional built erector that was built to accommodate the common "bucky" Skeleton and give life(movement) to a once static prop. The erector bolts safely around the spine of the skeleton, and erects a bucky from a laying to sitting up position (approximately 90 degrees).

Perfect for use in coffins or mounted to the ground. Lifter must be bolted or staked into onto a solid surface to ensure the armature and prop remain in its desired location. Welded mounting tabs included.

Due to the fragile nature of the "Bucky" skeletons, DC advises that the skeleton (specifically the arms) be corpsed using latex and cheese cloth to adhere the body together. Corpsing will greatly improve the strength and life span of the skeleton. Works best with arms in static position, such as attached to chest and will prevent flailing arms and possible injury.

Built using 14 Gauge tubular steel and professional pneumatics (bimba cylinder, SMC valve and fittings). Kit includes everything needed to operate and control and ships ready to run* out of the box. Also includes a "stopper" brace to prevent un-desired strain on the cylinder.

Bucky torso not included, but available.

Approximate Size 20" x 10" x 6"
Price $345.00

 

 

 







DC Torso Erector
w/ Arm Extension

The DC torso erector with arm extensions is the same mechanism as the Torso Erector, but with an additional armature added to lift the arms from a resting position on the sides of the rib cage, to an outstretched reach in upwards (triggered) position.

Due to the fragile nature of the "Bucky" skeletons, DC advises that the skeleton (specifically the arms) be corpsed using latex and cheese cloth to adhere to the arm bars. Corpsing will greatly improve the strength and life span of the skeleton.

Arms are adjustable at the elbows.

Built using 14 Gauge tubular steel and professional pneumatics (bimba cylinder, SMC valve and fittings). Kit includes everything needed to operate and control and ships ready to run* out of the box. Also includes a "stopper" brace to prevent un-desired strain on the cylinder.

Approximate Size 20" x 16" x 8"
Price $399.00


DC Barrel Lifter


The Barrel lifter is a modified lifter similar to our trash can and wall mount lifters, but designed for use in a standard 55 gallon steel drum. The lifter utilizes the barrels strength as its main mounting surface and utilizes this support to minimize room within the barrel, in turn allowing larger props to fit within the tight space. Best of all it can be used (and was designed specifically for) use under water.

The lifter includes two welded mounting brackets that connect into the barrels wall and approximately 40' of tubing to route the valve far away from the barrel. This setup includes a 12V valve setup with 110V transformer, to minimize any risk of shock if used in conjunction with water. However the wall mount transformer must be placed away from and mounted securely to a wall, away from areas that may come in contact with water.

Lifter provides 24" of vertical movement measured from the top of the mounting platform (designed to completely submerge a full bucky torso).

Built using 14 Gauge tubular steel and professional pneumatics. Kit includes everything needed to operate and control and ships ready to run* out of the box.

Size 24" x 16" x 6"
Price $365.00




DC Trash Can Lifter

The DC Trash can lifter is similar to our medium duty lifter, but designed to fit into standard sized trash cans.

The base is designed to fit in between the formed base of the trash can, while maximizing floor space for stability and mounting options. The lifter bars fit within in the circumference of the trash can throughout all movement while the base removes all strain from the walls of the trash can.

The tight confinements of a trash can were used during design of this mechanism, and the lifter will provide the most usable space of any mechanism on the market (or design out there).

DC recommends mounting the lifter through the can into the ground, but if that is not an option, adding weights to the platform base will also keep the mechanism in place.

Built using 14 Gauge tubular steel and professional pneumatics (bimba cylinder, SMC valve and fittings). Kit includes everything needed to operate and control and ships ready to run* out of the box.



Size 22" x 10" x 12"
Price $385.00


DC Vertical Mover
(NEW 2010 Low Profile Design!)

The DC Vertical Mover was designed for use in areas that only straight up and down movement can be applied (ie. no 4 bar lifter mechanisms).

The DC vertical mover is a vertical slide platform that provides 17" of vertical movement, while removing all side to side movement and stress that is placed on a cylinder rod during movement. The mechanism houses a 17" cylinder between two solid steel guides that provide an extremely smooth movement with a very strong and stable mounting surface(the travel on this mechanism can be customized up to 48" per clients request for an additional charge).

Commonly used inside wine barrels, or to lift partial coffins vertically.

Built using 14 Gauge tubular steel and professional pneumatics . Kit includes everything needed to operate and control and ships ready to run* out of the box.

Size 32" x 8" x 12"
Price $440.00



DC Horizontal Mover


The DC Horizontal Mover extends most light/mid weight props (up to 25lbs) horizontally 12" at a slight angle to provide movement to ground moving props such as spiders, ankle grabbing corpses, or similar props. Originally designed to be used in holes or other low light areas where the prop comes towards your viewers*.

Built using 14 Gauge tubular steel and professional pneumatics (12V valve with 110V power supply included). Kit includes everything needed to operate and control and ships ready to run out of the box.

This extender can be modified to extend up to 24" for an additional charge

Size 26" x 12" x 10" Price $360.00
* Never use this mover in close proximity to viewers.

Animation Maestro Audio Player

This is a very basic sound player that has an onboard microphone that allows you to record 30 seconds of audio onto the onboard chip for playback whenever a play command is sent from the controller.

Using this product along with an animation maestro 1 or 2 is extremely easy, as they have an input socket the player plugs into, and an output plug that you'd plug a pair of amplified computer speakers into.

The animation maestros send a "play" signal to the player when the output is activated, so your audio and prop start at the same time. Only works with maestro controllers.

Price $55.00

  Animation Maestro MP3 Player

Similar to the above audio player, but mp3 quality sound output.

To use this controller, you simply download the sound you wish to use into a SD card (not included), then insert the card into the MP3 player.

A signal is sent to the player from the controller to start the audio. No need to waste an extra output to start your sound. Only works with maestro controllers.
