FrightProps walks through their pressure-sensing trigger mats, one of their most popular prop-activation accessories. The video covers how the slim, flexible, water-resistant mats can be hidden under carpet or matting and paired with any FrightProps controller, audio player, or third-party device that accepts a trigger input. A strobe alarm prop is used as a live demonstration of the activation. Key safety guidance on low-voltage requirements and relay use for AC props is also addressed.
The FrightProps Live Wires prop is a ready-made animatronic effect that simulates a downed, crackling electrical cable. When triggered, the hanging wire comes to life with realistic movement and sparking effects. The unit ships with a controller and pressure mat for hands-free guest activation, and operates using both electricity and compressed air.
Poison Props showcases the ST708 'Second Thoughts,' a commercial pneumatic animatronic depicting a figure standing on a stool with a noose around its neck. When triggered, the stool slides away and the character reacts with kicking legs and a bobbing head in full panic motion. The unit ships as a complete package including the character, a pre-programmed controller, a choice of motion sensor or pressure mat, and a bundled audio system with scream effects. A gallows structure is not included but is available as an optional add-on.
This is the third and final installment in FrightProps' BooBox 4 Scene Controller tutorial series, focusing on how to connect various trigger inputs to the controller. The video walks viewers through wiring options including button triggers, pressure/step mats, motion sensors, and light beam sensors. Each trigger type is demonstrated in the context of activating scenes for Halloween props and animatronics.
Poison Props showcases the BG101 Breathing Grave, a commercial animatronic prop that simulates something struggling to escape from beneath the ground. The grave surface pulses up and down in a randomized pattern, creating an unsettling undead effect suited for graveyard-themed scenes. The unit ships ready to run with a pre-programmed controller and a choice of motion sensor or pressure mat trigger. It requires standard 110V AC power and no tombstone is included.
The HH818 Hell Hound Attack from Poison Props is a pneumatic animatronic prop that conceals a demon dog inside a doghouse until triggered, at which point it launches upward approximately three feet with snapping jaws synchronized to aggressive barking audio. The complete package includes the animatronic figure, doghouse enclosure, pneumatics, a pre-programmed controller, and a choice of motion sensor or pressure mat trigger. An audio bundle with a digital player, powered speaker, and scream effect is also included. The prop ships via freight and requires both AC power and a compressed air source.
