Singing Busts Arduino Project Brings Disney To Your Front Door

Disney’s Haunted Mansion is one of those corny staples you just have to hit when you visit the Magic Kingdom. But Disney World is far for some. Why not bring parts of the experience home for Halloween?

This is precisely what Instructables member TheNewHobbyist did with his hacked together Aruduino-based “singing busts” project. The kit is activated by motion, most likely Trick-or-Treaters walking up the steps next week, and effectively delivers one component of this classic 1969 ride to his front porch.

If someone could get working on those dancing ghosts and maybe some animatronic pirates that’s be pretty swell too. Just toss the instructions into the comments. [Instructables via Boing Boing]
