Monster Mash by Bobby "Boris" Picket and the Cryptkickers -- shows three spooky "singing" faces. The Alien Ghoul on the left is made with 225 LEDs. The simple Pumpkin Face in the center is the lead "singer"/vocalist and has only 194 LEDs. The Jack-O-Lantern on the right is lit with 200 LEDs, and with the Alien Ghoul, forms the supporting, background "chorus." The surrounding purple-orange-green garland is built with 210 LEDs. As you will eventually witness on our videos, these three "scary critters" are the smallest and simplest of our ten "performers." The three set pieces only took about seven hours to construct, but it required over 10 hours to program their LED lights to the song. As you can readily imagine, the most difficult task was trying to synchronize the mouths of the 3 faces with the words/lyrics of "Monster Mash." It took a lot of trial-and-error repetitions and "tweaking" to approximate/simulate the vocalizations. We are still beginners in this time-consuming hobby of speech mimicry -- but we're getting better and faster. We probably will NOT have any singing reindeer, elves, Santa or Elvis in this year's Holiday Musical Light Show! -- Maybe for Christmas 2011. No! We are not Scrooges this year!! Wait and watch our videos in early December! To get on our YouTube Channel again, please Google: kimball ne halloween
