    That is something you don't already have. Someone said Frankenstein meets.... You should make classic horror props like Frankenstein, Wolfman, mummy, Dracula, witch. I know you do have an animatronic witch with a cauldron. But you could make another one. Anyway love the video as always. 🧡🤎💛🍁🍂🎃👻

    Great idea and good video but just a couple of suggestions. Since the bolt is such a tight fit on the wiper motor arm hole, a washer is simply not needed there, especially an oversized one. As for the other nuts on that bolt, you should either double nut them to lock them in place or use a drop of Lock-tite blue to hold them in position. Just leaving them loose like that will allow them to move and move they will, possibly causing the prop to either jam up or fall apart, neither of which is desired. I planned on building a witch and cauldron this year although that may be delayed, I will be using your witch design for a foundation for mine so thanks so much for posting that one.

    Very cool! I love homemade animatronics. Always so interesting to see others creativity. I would have loved if the eyes glowed. Have you ever tried the led eye sets that they sell? They make the eyes come to life and I think I have even seen led on the inner cavity to give it more creepiness.
