Automated Halloween Coffin using PVC Pipe and a Sprinkler Valve

 

The Prop Master shows us how this cool Automated Halloween Coffin works. The coffin was made some plywood that was painted black, a skeleton of PVC pipe, a Halloween mask, an old suit and a sprinkler valve. Notice how the PVC has slip point that allow the system to pivot to raise a portion of the skeleton. There are also a few non-essentials that were added to enhance the scare effect, some speakers and a sound chip allow for some spooky zombie voices and the red flood light illuminates the zombie as he raises. Watch the video below to see how sit up fast the action is!

  1. I have heard that PVC pipe gets brittle over time and can explode when used in this way.



  2. Does everything scary HAVE to look like Michael Jackson?
