The package ships as a complete plug-and-play unit including the character, crates, pneumatic hardware, a pre-programmed controller, and motion sensors.

DIY Animated Skull Prop HALLOWEEN HOW-TO Video Tutorial

This tutorial walks viewers through building a DIY animated skull prop whose jaw slowly opens and closes through a clever mechanical animation system — notably without requiring an additional motor. The skull is designed as a companion piece to the creator's Levitating Table prop, sitting atop the floating table to enhance the overall ghostly display. The step-by-step format makes it accessible for home haunters looking to add a professional-looking animatronic effect to a porch, yard haunt, or haunted house scene.
