Halloween Gate

Creating a Halloween Gate

Introduction

I've been meaning to write this down as I made a hallowwen gate a couple of years ago, and each year I need to dig out all the parts and software. I thought I'd write it down so it is easier to re-install next time.

The idea is a simple one. Detect when someone comes to the gate and open a hatch and get a skull with red eyes to peer through it. As an extra, play some spooky halloween sound-bites. This was quite fun to do, with the whole family (and some friends) recording each message.
