KEEP UP WITH THE CROWD FOR A SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN
Yes, the kids just went back to school this month, the Alabama Crimson Tide begins their new season on August 31st, and the Labor Day holiday is September 2nd......
It’s been a hot and dry month in North Alabama, and we’re all looking forward to cooler temperatures and a few mild thunderstorms each week to clear the dust out of the air.
Now is the time to look ahead so that you don’t FALL behind (pun intended) in planning for your next home technology additions or upgrades. You may have noticed that all the major retailers have scrambled to fill their shelves with Halloween products even earlier than usual this year. That seems excessive to the average consumer who is currently more interested in a quick dip in the pool or a weekend at the beach. And when it comes to costumes, masks, candy and a pumpkin to carve, that may be the case. But if you have plans for a full-blown Halloween Bash at your home with all the bells and whistles that modern high-tech audio/video and smart home automation can provide, now is the time to book an appointment with your friendly Audio/Video/Automation Integration Team at AV Enthusiast. When it comes to the successful design and integration of today’s high-technology systems into your home, the more timely the planning, the better the outcome.
Soo….if your plans for an astounding Halloween celebration include lots of technology that converts your estate into an awesome haunted experience, please call us now to allow plenty of time for the successful completion of your project.
Here are a few suggestions for a high-tech event that will “wow” your guests:
Scary Sounds – Make use of your whole-home audio distribution system, such as Crestron Home’s DM-NAX Audio-Over-IP System, to distribute realistically spine-chilling sounds to all speakers throughout your estate.
Frightening Lights – Use your Crestron Home Automation System to control lighting throughout your home to further enhance the “spook factor.” Many popular lighting systems, such as Philips Hue strip lights and AiSpire outdoor lighting products, can be successfully controlled and automated through Crestron Home.
Eerie Projections – With the use of short-throw projectors, such as those from AWOL Vision or SIM 2, projections of spooks of every kind can be projected on walls and windows.
Welcome Your Guests with a Scare – Use a motion detector and an outdoor speaker at the entrance to your home to greet your guests with a bloodcurdling scream as they step up to your door.
Talk to Your Invisible Butler using Josh.ai – If you have Crestron Home, consider pairing it with Josh.ai to provide you with the convenience of voice control of Crestron Home, and create the illusion that you have a friendly ghost (Casper?) in charge of your home.
Scary Video Games and Horror Movies – Use your media lounge for the gamers in attendance to indulge in their favorite scary video games on a Samsung NEO QLED 8k TV. And, of course, have classic horror movies such as “Hocus Pocus,” “Ghostbusters,” “Halloween,” “Beetlejuice,” or “The Addams Family” available for viewing in your customized Home Theater, expertly designed and installed by AV Enthusiast.
