Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr. This video shows the 10000+ LED lights that we have on the central part of the front of the house and roof. If you look closely, you will notice a dozen "creepy critters" that appear to "sing" the lyrics of "Ghostbusters." The primary lead/main "singer" is the large, simple roof face on the upper left. Most of the faces, however, are just temporary, background, or chorus "singers." Most of the set pieces/LED panels such as the "singers," large Jack-O-Lanterns, "flying" bat, Animotion Disk, Light Towers, Tombstones, Drumming Skeleton are made from sheets of a fluted, corrugated plastic called polypropylene. We buy this Coroplast in 4 foot x 8 foot sheets from sign companies in the Cheyenne, Wyoming area. You can buy these for about $16 per sheet in various colors such as white, yellow, black, and red. We usually choose white, and if we want some other color, we first spray on a "primer"/base layer of Krylon Fusion spray paint, and after this durable coat dries we brush on one or two coats of exterior latex enamel (such as Valspar) of the final desired color. We leave the back/rear of the sheet white so we can sketch an easily visible design of our intended creation. Before we start reaming the design with various different-sized scratch awls (to make holes for plugging in the lights), we frame the edges of the Coroplast with a wood frame -- lath on the front edges and 1" x 2"s on the back. The frame is held together by using 1" panel nails <b>...</b>
