Christmas is all about hysterical excess, and special effects dude Ric Turner went full-on hysterical for his lights display, syncing them to the Guitar Hero track “Cliffs of Dover” and making his house fully playable. Check out the kid’s cute, too-cool smile, plus his little skippy fake-guitar dance around 1:30, and do not miss the eruption of ROCK AWESOME at the end:

Make has the goods on how he put it all together.

  1. A house located west Seattle is broadcasting its own radio show of christmas music and the lights on their house flash and blink to the music.
    Just pull over and tune in on your car radio for some christmas fun. the house is on SW Charlestown St. between 40th & 39th ave sw. between 6-9pm
    The rest of the neighborhood is done up pretty nice too.

  2. the christmas light tester set is amazingly
    in time for the season…

    and just too think… there’s no sick lime green and pink jello shots to slurp up off the lawn.

  3. @1 – “I was prepared to think this was dumb. But, damn.”

    Awesome! That pretty much encapsulates my relationship to Internet. And my early-20s love life.

  4. It’s awesome, but I will say the one set to Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s “Wizards In Winter” is one of the best. Wish I know how to do it (because Carol of the Bells/Sarejevo 12/24 would be fucking awesome to program lights to!)
