This beginner-friendly tutorial from VanOaks Props breaks down essential haunt lighting concepts, helping haunters understand core techniques and terminology to elevate their displays.

Distortions Unlimited takes viewers behind the scenes of the creation of Kong, a massive animatronic gorilla head standing approximately 11 feet tall when fully raised. The prop features a hand-sculpted latex-and-foam construction over a heavy-duty metal armature, with pneumatic mechanics animating the mouth, head rotation, and independently moving eyes and eyelids. Sculpted by company founder Ed Edmunds, Kong ships as a turnkey package that includes a control system, audio track, amplifier, fog machine, and simulated lightning effects. The result is a professional-grade, classic-monster centerpiece suited for haunted attractions, theme parks, and high-end home haunts.
Ed Edmunds of Distortions Unlimited walks through unboxing and setting up the Mutant, a towering sci-fi horror animatronic, covering how to connect its air, fog, lighting, and audio systems. The prop runs an ambient program with cycling lights and fog bursts until a push-button trigger unleashes fast motion, sound, and water or air sprays. It's framed as a premium, movie-quality prop for elevating haunts and themed attractions.
