Haunted Tombstones 1 & 2

Mr. Chicken’s Haunted Tombstones Projection Set
Simple, Smart, and Seriously Spectral

Mr. Chicken’s Prop Shop has carved out a special place in the world of DIY Halloween decor, and the Haunted Tombstones projection collection might be one of the most accessible—and visually rewarding—digital effects you can add to your haunt. This collection isn’t about over-the-top tech wizardry or complicated setups. It’s about pure Halloween charm delivered through simple, smart projection mapping that anyone can do.

At its core, the Haunted Tombstone set is designed for ease and maximum impact. All you need is a basic video projector and a homemade tombstone cutout. That’s it. Project the video onto your blank foam or plywood tombstone and voilà—ghostly faces, flickering spirits, and eerie engravings spring to life with haunting realism. As one thrilled user put it, “I use these videos every Halloween. They are brilliant.” And it’s true—these effects are proof that you don’t need Hollywood-grade equipment to get jaw-dropping reactions from your trick-or-treat crowd.

What’s Included

The complete Haunted Tombstone Collection includes:

• Original Haunted Tombstone: The first and simplest version, a classic shape with spooky animations.
• Haunted Tombstone 2: A taller variation with all-new animations and a slightly different shape.
• Haunted Tombstone Set: Both tombstones side by side in one synchronized video, allowing for richer storytelling and layered effects.

This combo pack is priced at $40 and includes everything you need to run one or both tombstones either individually or together. “This is fantastic!” said one reviewer, “We got such great comments from our first tombstone projection… and I can’t wait to have a second one we can run side by side!”

Setup & Accessibility

Mr. Chicken doesn’t just sell the videos—he provides a helpful how-to video that walks you through the process from start to finish. The entire effect can be looped easily, making it ideal for yard haunts or party displays. One commenter mentioned, “The Roku device would be perfect if it could be set to automatically play on startup, and endlessly loop… If not, I’ll choose the DVD player route. This is a truly excellent effect!!!”

Whether you’re using a Roku, DVD player, or laptop, the setup is flexible. And because the effect plays off of practical tombstone shapes you can cut yourself, it’s highly customizable to your yard.

Performance & Reactions

These projections are big on charm and character. The timing between the two tombstones in the combo video is especially clever, with animations that play off each other to keep viewers entertained. One excited fan said it best: “OMG dude wow… another one freaking insane! Great, now you’re gonna make me decide on one—thanks a lot.” Another raved, “Dude I think you really got something going with this. You’re going to sell a ton of these downloads.”

The simplicity of the execution also means you can place them anywhere—in a front yard cemetery, by a porch display, or even in a window. “Dude this is freaking awesome! Great job very well done,” said another fan. “I just may have to have this in the yard this year.”

Creative Uses

• Tombstone Theater: Set up a mini graveyard and project onto multiple tombstones staggered in depth for a layered 3D effect.
• Window Mode: Use in reverse and project from inside your home onto tombstones just outside your window for indoor displays.
• Synchronized Scenes: Use both tombstones to create a mini-narrative or ghostly dialogue between two resting spirits.

Final Verdict

Mr. Chicken’s Haunted Tombstones are the perfect example of effective simplicity. For just $40, you get a set of high-impact, plug-and-play projection effects that anyone can set up and enjoy. Whether you’re new to projection mapping or a seasoned haunt builder, this kit belongs in your Halloween arsenal.

Affordable, creative, and endlessly replayable—Mr. Chicken’s Haunted Tombstones prove you don’t need complexity to bring your yard to (after)life. As one fan put it, “That’s really freaking cool!” We agree.
