Hell Hole Prop Update

The "Hell Hole" prop is pretty much ready to go for Halloween. It's painted and all the lighting has been installed, including an upgraded pair of outdoor LED floodlights at the very front of the prop (went from using a 10 watt pair to a 20 watt pair at the front that have a more vibrant range of colors). There's still a pair of 10 watt LED floods on the left and right sides of the prop facing out at an angle, as well as a 25 LED C9 bulb stringer inside the lower half of the prop containing twinkling red, orange, and yellow bulbs. The light stringer is purely for uplighting the 5 skeleton props that will be trying to escape the hell hole opening on Halloween. A 5 outlet outdoor power strip is mounted on the back bottom frame of the prop and the power cord is routed out through an opening in the back of the mound. Also going to place some angled mirror arrays on the front, left, and right inner bottom sections of the prop on Halloween with the hope that they will enhance the twinkling effect of the light stringer bulbs and will bounce more light up at the skeletons in the opening. The arrays will be made from a series of 4" diameter craft mirrors mounted to small wooden bases. The prop is roughly 4 feet in diameter at the base, stands about 18 inches tall, with a 20 inch diameter opening.
