Hi All, I have an idea for a floating candelabra that I think will look great in our haunt if I can pull it off. Which is why my first step is coming here and asking you all what you think the best approach might be. I am thinking of taking my little plastic candelabra and turning it into a...

Hello Fellow Haunts! So this was my big project for last year. I added a back row to my archway as well, but I wanted to create something new and exciting! I built these two Jacko Sentinels to guard my back yard during the October season. They are built with a PVC frame and base. I used...

I'm planning a Leota crystal ball effect this year. I created this Leota effect which I'll project onto a blank head inside a crystal orb. This projection starts out black as the Ghost host beckons Leota to help materialise the spirits, She appears, does her thing, and vanishes as the Ghost...

Hello all! On good old Marketplace, I was able to buy two 60" poseable skeletons for a combined $10. Couldn't pass that up! They're the good ones too. Anyhow! Got me to thinking about All Hallows Eve this year. I've always done spiders, as it's what I hate, and wanted to share the fear...

Last Halloween I created this animation of a bust of Poe reciting "The Raven" I never used it. I was going to project it into a graveyard and have Poe appear and talk, a-la the Haunted Mansion Singing Busts. If anyone here wants to use it, please be my guest. you can copy and use it free from...

I have lots of Halloween items for sell . Each year we have bought made and created many Halloween items. We are no longer able to set things up as we would like, because of health reasons we have many props although we have already gotten rid of many items. If interested please contact me. We...

Last minute decorations made cars slow down and was a hit with trick or treaters. We ran out of candy after an hours and a half in a neighborhood here in Michigan which is normally very quiet. We had over 90 families with multiple kids in tow. I created a congruent theme of a classic...

Hello, I'm trying to build a new trigger (timer and/or motion detector) for my small fog machine (110vac). It initially had a wireless trigger device which plugged into a 3-conductor connector at the rear of the machine. The device has failed. I've been looking at the schematic for a while...

Hey all, Kinda looking/searching into more animatronic props lately (building myself) and wanna get more into electrical and motors, etc. I created this prop this year, kinda like tombstone, built outta foam and wood. Maybe weights 20lbs or so. I was thinking of raising it up and down. So...

Here's a grim reaper costume I created that includes a skull whose movements sync with your voice. If you want to see how I made it, look here: https://www.instructables.com/id/Voice-Synchronized-Grim-Reaper-Costume/ It's Scary Terry's audio-servo driver + an amplified mic + one of those...

I created this spotify playlist with all my favourite Halloween party hits, and a tonne of really great sound effects (ranging from zombies, demon growls, cemeteries, ghosts) to play around the house. Have a listen and tell me what you all think? :)...

Hello Darklings! I am happy to announce the release of our new game.... Happy Halloween! :cool: The Cabinets of Doctor Arcana is a dark adventure game set inside the haunted mansion of a mysterious magician who vanished several years ago. Resolve a maze of riddles and perplexing puzzles to...

Hi All, I've been lurking here for several years - and it's time to dive in. Every year I learn something new....and this year - my yard will be mostly created by me vs. store bought. Over the years, I've learned to build coffins for $20, have created awesome lava/coals from spray foam (btw -...

JUNE craft of the month is - VICTORIAN / GOTHIC ITEM This is about getting creative and sharing your creations. Looking forward to seeing what is created.

Ok, so this year I am hoping to make my first prop....from scratch, nothing fancy and needs to be static. What do you master builders consider for a good starter prop project? In the past I've set up my skellies and we built a coffin, but I've never "created" my own prop and I would really love...

Here is a bloody baby bed we created for our Haunted Nursery this year. Created the blood with clear Elmers glue and food coloring. You can check more info on my post at our blog www.wolfmooncemetery.blogspot.com

I am am not too thrilled about the idea, but I have been over ruled and the Halloween theme in our department this year is "Minions". :( I love the Despicable Me movies, but a Minions Halloween theme? Does anyone have any ideas that would go along with the Minions theme that would be more true...

after reading many how to, I have created my own monster. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

I don't know a heck of a lot about auctions but this looks pretty sweet! Not sure of his current standings, but Rich Baker was the go-to-guy for special effects makeup for something like 40 years. I first heard of him in relation to American Werewolf in London, where he created all the...
