VanOaksProps demonstrates a straightforward motorized pop-up mechanism designed to animate ghosts, goblins, or similar Halloween figures. The build relies on a slow-RPM synchronous motor, patio door rollers, and basic lumber and aluminum flat stock to create repeating up-and-down motion. Only a handful of tools are required, making this accessible to builders with limited workshop experience. The finished mechanism can be dropped into a yard haunt or home display to add eye-catching movement on a modest budget.
