A Ghostly Pirate with a Bone to Pick
Sail the haunted seas this Halloween with HallowFX’s Skelly Pirate – Captain’s Orders, a digital decoration that brings a fearsome (and slightly unhinged) skeletal pirate captain to life. This projection delivers more than just a spooky ambiance—it creates a theatrical character who shouts commands, scolds invisible crewmen, and adds a narrative flair to your haunt. Whether you’re running a pirate-themed yard display or just want to add some ghostly maritime menace to your decor, this animated captain is ready to take the helm.
Running just under three minutes and offered in 1080p HD, Captain’s Orders comes in both wall/door formats and black background versions for more advanced hologram-style setups. You also get both music and no-music options, making it easier to tailor the vibe to your setup—whether you want immersive audio or want to run it in sync with your own pirate-themed soundtrack. Project it on a garage door to simulate a talking ship’s captain, or use scrim material for a Pepper’s Ghost-style floating effect.
The Call of the Haunted Sea
What sets Captain’s Orders apart is the character performance. This isn’t just a looping animation—it’s a full monologue from a salty, skeletal sea captain. His tone is commanding but humorous, making it perfect for both kid-friendly pirate displays and more intense, foggy haunted docks. The black background version works especially well for “hollusion” projections, giving the illusion that the pirate is floating midair or appearing out of thin mist.
Pair it with other nautical or skeleton-themed projections, such as HallowFX’s Accursed Helmsman or ambient sea storm loops, to create a full pirate haunt experience. Add some shipwreck props, fog, and blue lighting, and you’ve got an immersive mini-show that will anchor your Halloween display.
