Other Crate Beasts

The basic idea of a scary crate with a Beast inside it is an old one. Before we started ours, we took a look on the web for advice from those who had gone before.

We found several links, but some of the web sites had disappeared. We have included them here, in the hopes that they may return.

We would like to keep adding to this list. If you build of find a Monster In a Box, Crate Beast, or similar project, please contact us.

Description:

It thrashes, shakes and growls at anyone that approaches So believable, you'll swear it will break out any second Hollywood prop-quality construction; will last for many Halloweens to come

Remember the movie Creep Show, where an evil creature was kept inside a seemingly-secured crate? Well now you can introduce your own Crate Creature to your Halloween party! Violently mysterious, this shaking box stirs the curiosity of anyone standing witness to one of this monster's fits of rage. The creature thrashes around like it's trying to break out of the crate, rocking it back and forth and shaking the chains that secure it. The thrashing is so believable, you’ll swear the creature is going to break free any second! The crate is completely automatic with motion sensor, digital sound system and automation. Includes a powerful soundtrack to complete the frightening effect.
