  1. Want to Buy
    Hi everyone, I’m doing a carnEvil / clown theme this year and will be building everything from scratch again. I was wondering if anyone has any themed items/costume stashes they want to part with. I’m happy to pay for them and pay for shipping (or come pick them up if you’re in driving distance...
  2. General Halloween
    Hey all working on this year's halloween setup and we decided on a freakshow/carnival theme. We have most of it planned out but I am having issues with a couple things and hope to get some advice. 1. The main tent is slatted to be a freakshow and I want to do actual displays instead of posters...
  3. Halloween Props
    I need advice here. I am far from artistically inclined, and my clown entrance looks terrible. Now, I've been considering just totally repainting it in a different style and everything, but before I do that, does anyone have any ideas on how to improve/add more detail to it? Thanks!
  4. Large Evil Clown

    Made from a PVC form, with brackets affixed to a board to allow it to stand. The clothing are items from the thrift store, the ruffles are made from tulle, the hands are stuffed latex gloves, and the mask was purchased off of Amazon and sits on a HobbyLobby styrofoam form. Stands approx. 6'5".

  6. Halloween Props
    Over the past couple months, I've posted videos of several circus-themed projects. Following is a video of the completed display, but, first, some notes on the props: Rooftop Unicycle Skelly -- In short, it ran but required constant checks (like every 10 minutes) to reset its starting point so...

    My version of some fun house mirrors using a design by a school science teacher (referenced in video). These will be part of a circus-themed Halloween display. I still have to figure out how to light the trick-or-treaters in front of the mirrors without bathing the rest of the yard in light...

  10. General Halloween
    Last year I did a Creepy Clown Carnival. It was mostly static because I got the wrong size motor for my wheel of death. This year I want to build a parachute drop ride with zombie babies riding on umbrella/parachutes. My issue is I can not find any plans or anyone who has attempted this. Has...

    I built this Clown Entrance for a Halloween party last year. It turned out fantastic. The eyes rotate, using cheap motors I picked up from Princess Auto. I projected the image and air brushed onto plywood. I didn't build it to be self standing (but you could)....for our purpose it was...
  12. General Halloween
    The Haunting of Green Berry has taken a turn. We are moving into a Freak Show Carnevil Haunted Circus theme. Actually I see carnival themes everywhere for the past year since The Greatest Showman came out. I have been trying to emphasize the Freak Show aspect a little bit more than just...

  14. Halloween Props
    I would like to make the letters individually and punch the lights through. My thought is to use foam core board and poster board. I would hot glue the poster board to the edges of the foam core to create a frame and then spray paint it. My question is, how do I waterproof this since it will be...

    I'm starting concepts for this years Halloween and going with a twisted carnival theme. I will be posting more soon.
  16. Halloween Music
    So I always see people asking for carnival or circus music. And the standard answer that comes back is for carousel sounding stuff. If one is just looking for ambient music that is great. But not for what I need... I actually put on a entire live dance show. I need songs that fit themes...

  18. Halloween Props
    I am wanting to build a mini carnival out back for Halloween. I have about 6 clown masks to put to use. So I started trying to build some rides. Below are the progress. Using a rotating Christmas tree stand. I got a new umbrella sewn up, everything painted black and the rest of the assembly...

    It's August 14th and I haven't made one prop! What?! Plans are underway for : Siamese Twins, Sword Swallower and hopefully a Figi Mermaid.
  20. Halloween Props
    So I'm venturing into animated props this year, which I've never done. I have basically zero experience with motors or electronics of any kind. I'm going with a creepy carnival theme, and I thought I would start with something simple...a big carnival wheel game that spins slowly in my front...
