Add a motion sensor to a moving critter

This StiltbeastStudios tutorial is a follow-up to their Moving Critters video, showing how to add a simple motion alarm sensor to an existing critter prop so it activates automatically when guests walk by. The approach is ideal for scenes where a live actor isn't always available to trigger the effect manually. It's a practical, low-complexity upgrade that adds reactivity and surprise to any haunt environment.
