I had A little fun with a $8 Walmart mask and a Basic Stamp II. I bought the mask because it had light up eyes. After getting it home I found out there was room to do so much more. I took 32 SMD leds and painstakingly soldered them to a perfboard. then using A MAX7219 I was able to control the leds. It was a lot of fun, and it was A hit at the party. I will post more when I get home. Hope you all enjoy the video of the completed mask

    What would really make it look awesome is if you could make the light slowly change into thin vertical slits, like those on a cat...

    I never thought of that.... I think I will have to program that pattern and see what comes out. Thanks for the idea.
