Thread: Halloween Setup Materials List

Tweet

Last year I was keeping a list of all the stuff I used to help hang props and decorate for the season. It was a pretty comprehensive list, covering the stuff I had always remembered, to the stuff I ran-out to purchase last minute, to the stuff I thought about after-the-fact.

I thought the list made it into one of my many Rubbermaid tubs that went away into storage.

Needless to say, that wasn't the case. The list is nowhere to be found.

So, I thought I'd turn this into a post and see if people can refresh my mind or come up with items that hadn't occurred to me. Here's some of the stuff I remember off-the-bat:

• Hot Glue Sticks
• Heavy-Duty Staples
• Removable 3M Mounting Clips
• Double-Sided Tape
• Cheesecloth
• Fishing Line
• Packaging Tape
• Duct Tape
• Masking Tape
• Electrical Tape
• Toothpicks
• Cable Ties
• Drywall / All-Purpose Screws
• Tomato Stakes (for yard props)
• Spray Adhesive
• Scotch Tape
• Xacto Knife
• Scissors
• PVC Cement
• Sandpaper
• Paperclips
• Twine
• Metal L-Brackets
• Great Stuff / Spray Foam
• Cotton (Kite) String
• RIT Whitener
• Outlet Strips
• Power Multiplier
• Speaker Wire
• RCA Cables
• RCA Splitters
• Craft Paint (esp. white & black)
• Paint Brushes (craft & flat/wide)

What did I forget. I don't care if it sounds ridiculous — I'm open to creative suggestions.

Band-aids.....

Beer is a must have.

Understanding wife.

Extension cords. I can never have enough of those. Back up flood lights in blue, red, and green. At least one back up socket for those lights. Eye hooks. Fully charged batteries for power tools. Back up C-7 and C-9 bulbs and socket. Im sure I will think of more later. If I do I will post them.

I use one of those wheelie tool boxes and pull it around, and yes the beer is a must...I do my best work with Beer!!!!!!!
