i really enjoy that a lot of your videos consist of things i can actually do at home without having an entire workshop in my garage! thank you for all your How-To's!
Hi there from the other video "Creepy Caged Creatures" LOL... The question you asked is there a way to defeat the 15 minutes time limit on that chair massager. The answer is... maybe... I'd need to see inside that remote and the voltage on the motor to see if the power could be directly connected to the motor, most likely it can... then that basically eliminates the logic of the remote control... I'd gut the electronics in that remote and put a simple inline switch to turn it on and off... then you can "set it and forget it" LOL... Oh one other caveat... the reversing motion might need something to do that unless the limit switches do that logic for you, otherwise it might need some electronics to solve that... it's not hard to do, but you need to know if that is needed or not
I've picked up several foot massagers from thrift stores, they are a dime a dozen! Thinking one could be used in a similar way. Great video! I enjoy your content!
There is a children's toy..its a ball that shakes and bounces on the floor by itself. You can put it with your other props . Place it on the ground cover it with a black bag and cover the bag with leaves . The leaves will shake and rattle . Pretty cool.
Thanks Denise King for watching and asking this question. Water will find it's way into everything, so no, this is not waterproof. I always kept sheets of black plastic nearby to cover electric props incase of rain. Additionally, always waterproof all electrical connections by having them in or covered by something waterproof, just the morning's dew can cause electrical havoc.
I'm thinking of doing something like this except using a reindeer motor, I got the fake "weeds" and Styrofoam 1/2 rounds from Michael's... and I've got some stretchy fabric to lay over the whole thing to hide the mechanism... I know it will require a wooden base, linkage and a spacer to prevent the unit from interfering with itself... So what I'm imagining is a horizontal version of a grave popper... any suggestions?
Off the top of my head, a rotating arm connected to the deer motor with a small, pivoting ball caster (or some type of smooth, rounded object to reduce drag) facing up, on the end of the arm. You will probably need a more substantial piece of flexible material, such as rubber pond liner (Lowe's, Home Depot), to go over the rotating arm, and then the stretchy material over that. That is my two cents worth. Good luck!
Going thru the back catalog of your videos, great stuff! Did you have a hack to keep the massager running longer than 15 minutes? I'm guessing the auto-off is to give the motor a break or prevent over use by the consumer. Would be nice to have it run for a few hours in the evening without a reset. Thanks for the vids, your shooting, editing and graphics are on par with the awesome content.
Hi Lee. Yes, that is a bother, so if anyone knows how to keep the massager running for more than 15 minutes, please let me know!! Thanks for watching and for the question.
Hi Punky, like any electrical device water is not it's friend! The nice thing about this prop is that it is so portable it can easily be brought inside until the rain passes.
At this time, I do not know how to bypass the timed cycle. It is one of the drawbacks of the massager, so I make sure that the controls are hidden but also easy to access.
Pretty much as long as it has motion to it that will make whatever is up top rotate and equally move around, you can cover it up with a old piece of cloth anddecorate it that way. That is kinda how I would do it, I would probably paint it as well with some red paint and equally put leaves around it to make it look bloody and maybe add a couple skeleton heads too to it, that will be also painted to add to the decoration. Yeah that'd be what I'd do to it.
@@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms Its a idea off of mine for decoration, I do like to add llines of red paint into skeletons and skulls and all that for decoration ha ha. Hopefully people do get inspired especially on Halloween.
Hi Mike, pretty much the same as the pumpkin. I used an even larger stiff cardboard disk and attached it to the bottom of the plastic rib cage (I only used the upper half of the skeleton) using a glue gun. I then attached it using the extra wide velcro, which also allowed me to reposition it. The bent arms touched the ground, so they also helped to stabilize it. Thanks for asking.
Yes, depending on the make and model you do need to push the buttons every 15 to 20 minutes. The controller usually comes with a 6' cord so I discreetly place it where I can reset it when need be (I am outside with my haunt display anyway). I've looked into overriding this but the wiring is pretty complicated. If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know how it can be done. Thanks Courtney for the question and for taking the time to leave a comment.
Awesome job Paul!
Thanks CFAO, I really appreciate the nice compliment.
@@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms I miss your how to videos

Thanks Starlyknewyou, I try to design props for all skill types. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave such a nice comment.
Great idea...that skeleton shaking around was very spooky!
Thanks Tim B, I appreciate the nice comment.
A home haunt staple. Great vid!
Thanks Hauntcast, I'm glad that you like it.

Thanks Ray, I will have to take a better look into the guts of it. Stay tuned...
Wow that was smart.
Thanks Fefe! We really appreciate you taking the time to watch our videos and for leaving a comment.
Im finally going to attempt this build
Well CFAO, let me know how it goes! Have Fun!
Where have you been hiding? In the graveyard, creating great ideas for us to watch. I’m dead hooked on this project.
Thanks David Todd for taking the time to comment, we appreciate the positive feedback. Have fun!
Pretty sweet! Reminds me of the Velociraptor moving bushes concept from Jurassic Park. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching K&T Do Halloween!
So simple it's easy to think that it wouldn't work! But it honestly looks amazin!
Thanks for watching, I'm pleased that you liked it.
Good job paul!
Thanks CFAO!
Great presentation.
Thank you for the nice comment, I appreciate you watching my videos.
Such a great idea 🧡🤎💛🍁🍂
Thank you!
Wow! I love this!! Simple yet effective and creepy!
So glad that you love it, thanks for watching and commenting.
His Halloween props are so 👻 good !
Thanks for your views and comments Diana, and please don't forget to subscribe.
Awesome idea. I have one of those. It just might be a new project for this Halloween.
Great Eileen, have fun making ... and using it!

Love this idea. I know it was posted a year ago but how did you keep it safe for rain? Is the chair waterproof?

I always kept sheets of black plastic nearby to cover electric props incase of rain. Additionally, always waterproof all electrical connections by having them in or covered by something waterproof, just the morning's dew can cause electrical havoc.
Great Idea, any tips on how to let it work continually whiteout the need to press the button every 15 minutes?
Unfortunately no. I welcome anyone that does know how to please let me know, I could then post a "Quick Tips" video about it. Thanks for asking Ronny.
Very cool
Thanks Drew Niven, we appreciate the comment ... and thanks for subscribing!
Pumpkins for me
Great vid so cool

Wow, now that is inexpensive and neat. I have several of those back massagers floating around. Great job.
Thanks Darin Peters and yes, they make animating an object easy!
So nice and simple! Say, where did you get those fake plants?
I visit thrift stores and keep my eyes peeled for artificial plants and trees at a fraction of the cost. Thanks for asking.
need to bring in during rain?
Yes or tarp it, since it is not water tight. Anything electrical needs to be protected from the rain.

I was wondering about this too. I’m looking at the back log as well. lol
Is this safe to leave outside in the rainy weather? It's a very cool idea!
Hi Punky, like any electrical device water is not it's friend! The nice thing about this prop is that it is so portable it can easily be brought inside until the rain passes.
Is there a way to bypass The 15 minute cycle? I bought a used Homedics SBM-200 Shiatsu massager. Using it outside in a train drive by setting
At this time, I do not know how to bypass the timed cycle. It is one of the drawbacks of the massager, so I make sure that the controls are hidden but also easy to access.

Hi aG. Hopefully I inspire others to customize these props and make it their own. Personally, I am not one for guts and gore.

Looks good, very clever idea. Where do you get the chairs?
Thanks Deadland Haunted House. Do you mean the chair massager?
Yes, I have never seen one before.
I have found several at thrift stores, also search online under "chair massage cushion".
@@TheDeadlandHauntedHouse good will has them at time .
How did you make the skeleton not fall
Hi Mike, pretty much the same as the pumpkin. I used an even larger stiff cardboard disk and attached it to the bottom of the plastic rib cage (I only used the upper half of the skeleton) using a glue gun. I then attached it using the extra wide velcro, which also allowed me to reposition it. The bent arms touched the ground, so they also helped to stabilize it. Thanks for asking.
Do you have to push the buttons every 15 minutes?
Yes, depending on the make and model you do need to push the buttons every 15 to 20 minutes. The controller usually comes with a 6' cord so I discreetly place it where I can reset it when need be (I am outside with my haunt display anyway).
I've looked into overriding this but the wiring is pretty complicated. If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know how it can be done.
