The gate posts are hollow and inside one is the “nerve centre for the yard” — a picaxe micro controller that runs the motorized props. The gargoyles on top of the gate posts are made of pop bottles and papier-mache and have the capability of blowing smoke out of their mouths. There are five pneumatic (startle) props, five motor-driven props and several static props, including the three witches, Dr. Chard and the bride’s coffin. The extension cords run in bunches to keep as clean an environment as possible, because “I will be in here, my son will be in here, I’ve got a couple of buddies who help out” scaring visitors. The whole scene takes two full days to set up.
Molloy loves seeing the reactions to his Halloween scene. “We have had tears. I haven’t had anybody wet their pants yet. ... People love to be scared; it’s why horror movies are as big as they are.” The proof is in the numbers. Most of Molloy’s neighbours get about 25 kids, but “we get about 250 and we get that many or more adults as well on Halloween night, plus all the nights leading up to it. There’s a constant parade of cars that come through here.” To put that traffic to good use, this year Molloy is asking visitors to bring a cash donation for Hope’s Home or a non-perishable food item for the Regina Food Bank.
