This is how I built a Leering (Larry) Skeleton Prop for Halloween 2014.

Todd, I was inspired by your build. I just finished the box build, and got the motor mount for "Larry" set to rotate smoothly. Now onto the foam cutouts and skeleton mount!

Good Job! Love the addition you did with the stone moving up under the Leerers foot. I too got my idea from Steve's Haunted Yard. Have you noticed how Steve's moves side to side...almost seems like he has a second linkage in the shaft...love it.

This is the best one I have seen. Could you give dimensions of your box to allow enough room for the motor to move fluidly?

Todd love the innovation to the leering skeleton. I would really like to use your ideas..great tombstone carving and the hand..that takes it to the next level. I always appreciate when someone takes the standard prop to the next level. Todd I have 2 reindeer motors that I would really appreciate if you would let me know the secret to attaching them. Did you heat and just use a pin to hold the PVC to the first motor. And the hand motor, did you over drill into the plastic or rubber ends of the deer motors?? Appreciate any advice. Thanks again for taking time to post the video.

+Murphy's muse - I warmed up the PVC with a heat gun and flattened. and drilled for the motor shaft. I used a link pin and a drywall screw to link to motor to the pvc. as you can see. i pull the pin and the prop spins freely. The motors have pre drilled holes on the back of them. i just screwed thru the wood walls into the motor to secure them.

So you have PVC pipe running up the tombstone and the rod is going through that down to around the PCV T? What type of rod are you using, is it threaded or smooth? Thanks

What's the story? Did Larry come out of the box, or is another skeleton coming out, or what? Not understanding this. Great movement, just not getting the context of a green box under him that opens & green.

TODD I CAN'T SEEM TO GET MY LEERING PROP TO RUN SMOOTH IT KEEPS CATCHING AND REVERSING. WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO GIVE ME THE DIMENSIONS OF THE PVC PIPE YOU USED AND WHAT YOU USED TO ATTACH THEM TO EACH OTHER. I USED A HEX BOLT WITH A WASHER ON EACH SIDE AND A LOCK NUT. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPECIATED. ALSO, WAS THERE ANY THOUGHT AS TO WHERE YOU PLACED THE MOTOR OR WAS IT TRIAL AND ERROR?
