Want to draw a major crowd to your holiday display this season? You could go with the standard blinking lights and candy canes  and set up old Santa in his sleigh on your rooftop, or you could get fancy like former Disney Imagineer special effects artist, Ric Turner of California. Turner hooked up his Christmas light display to the Wii video game console and programmed them to go wild to Guitar Hero. The song? Eric Johnson’s “Cliffs of Dover.”

Using more then 21,000 lights and LEDs in the display, it is fully functional. Neighborhood kids can stop by Mr. Turner’s house, pick up the controller and test their skills. Turner has the game set on easy mode, but in order to determine which buttons to press next, the player has to watch the lights, not the game screen set up in the driveway, if they want to make the high score list.

This is not the first time Turner has dazzled neighbors with such an impressive display. His Halloween 2009 display blew the neighbors away, with a giant singing pumpkin, dancing skeletons, synchronized flashing lights and massive blinking spiders.

I’m moving in next to this guy for sheer entertainment value alone. Ric Turner has definitely taken holiday decorating and Guitar Hero to a whole new level.
