This year I am doing a pirate theme but I think there are two things I think would have some overlap. 1. is a caged skeleton that drops into the water and the other is basically like Spirit halloween's jumping spider but I am going to be making it larger and putting a shark on it (or maybe an alligator). I am going to use the laser swamp to hide the shark except the fin (or alligator) and then have it jump forward/up on a motion sensor. The best part is that the alligator and shark I got are both inflatable so there is no storage issue. I am hoping to finish up my videos soon, I think they would really fit your theme. As far the laser swamp, theres nothing that says the entire haunt has to be laser swamp, even a room or two would be a really cool "awe" moment.
Would love to check out your videos when you get them done! On the laser swamp idea, my nephew suggested a GREAT idea that I think I'm going to try....instead of putting lasers throughout the haunt, I'm going to mount them low on the cart (think of like headlights). I'll still fog most of the haunt but that way any direction the cart goes it will create the laser effect on the fog. I haven't done a proof of concept yet but that's the direction I'm leaning. The videos take a lot of time. In fact, I'm pausing my videos probably until after Halloween because it just takes too much time to shoot the videos and get stuff done. Time is running out for me and Halloween is right around the corner! Thanks for your ideas and feedback.
@@AotH ok, the laser swamp on the cart idea is brilliant!. The one thing I did notice is that the laser swamp does work better if the light is facing towards you so maybe give it a try and make sure you like the look I am pretty confident it will still work though. Halloween is fast approaching, and you have quite the project on your hands. Hopefully ever thing gets done in time. I love watching the vids but the haunt comes first!
Looking forward to the build.
This is going to be EPIC!!!!!

@@AotH I have the first video going up tomorrow. I think it could fit your haunt pretty well. I think it is a pretty cool effect at least.
