DIY Motion Sensor for Halloween Props
These Halloween motion sensors are absolutely awesome to set off Halloween props! They work great for any prop that plugs into an outlet, whether it’s a simple electric jack-o-lantern that you want lit up when a trick-or-treater walks by, or something more complex like a ghoul that suddenly jumps out and scares everyone. Just plug it in and watch your prop come to life when it senses movement! (oh, and it only takes about 10 minutes to put one of these awesome sensors together!)

The led eyes and the face coming out of the wall are great ideas Brad! I’ll have to see what I can come up with and maybe do a ‘how to’ post in the future about it! 😉
