WHAT IT DOES
- Arches leap side to side on every kick drum; tombstones and floodlights flash pink/blue on the backbeat
- Bass drop at 0:39 - rings roll out from the middle of the house to every prop
- Accelerating strobe buildups into each drop, with a moving background underneath so it never goes black between flashes
- The whole house changes colour on every note of the riff from 1:44.8 to 1:59.6
- Garlands rise from the ground all the way to the roof line at 2:45.6
- Outro chase at 3:17 walks the light around the house on every synth stab
- Red/blue strobe intro and ending, cut to the track
- Moving heads sweep a white beam wave through the choruses
- Singing face lip-syncs the whole song, mouth shut through her pauses

HOW TO GET IT ONTO YOUR PROPS
xLights matches effects by model name. If your props are named differently, use File > Import > Import Effects, pick the .xsq, map your models once and save the mapping. The full model list and step-by-step instructions are in the README inside the zip. The singing face uses a face definition named "Monster 1" - point it at your own face definition and any Papagayo-style singing face works, including a singing pumpkin or a singing Christmas tree.

If you use it in your display I would love to see it - and please leave a rating, it helps other people find it.
