I've seen several ways to make funhouse mirrors and am wondering if anyone knows of a way to make mirrors with superior results. By "superior" I mean without ripples and with a nearly true mirror quality reflection. Thanks.

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...

In the past the front row of my graveyard was a series of dollar store coolers turned upside down. For some I put the lid on the bottom for a bit more decoration. They hid the lights that illuminated the rows behind them. The trouble with these came at night because they were essentially dead...

Hello all, Just thought I'd register. I was a home haunted back in the early 2000s - had to sell off almost all my home props to another Home Haunter after my little girl was born and she was too scared of it all. Now she is 13, really into it all, we've moved across country to a new house, and...

For those with the Home Depot Skeleton horse with the saddle and a rider, how are you getting the Skelton rider to stay on the saddle? For the last 2 years, I have used fishing line in all sorts of ways to make it stay, even then a small breeze causes it to topple over. Any insight and...

I've been throwing a Halloween party the last few years, and I want to up my game. I have a decent amount of decor, but I want to find a way to make the atmosphere a bit spookier, put people on edge a bit. I tend to stick with fairly traditional Halloween elements - lots of skeletons, bats...

I just uploaded an album of our photos from 2017, shortly after we moved to our new place in Washington. Still tweaking things as we're setting up this year (almost done!). I tried to arrange them in order, but after uploading them a few different ways, I'm stymied. :o That I can tell, there...

Need ways to make a plastic cauldron wider.

Hello all, I am finally old enough to enjoy Halloween the way I've always wanted to. Basically I can spend money and build props. We always have great halloween parties, but this is the first year that I am jumping into the prop building and trying to create a real spooky vibe. My occupation...

Everyone knows by now, that discontinued foods from restaurants and retail are coming back left and right. They're bringing back countless franchises in movies and TV shows. Even other old ways are coming back, such as DIY, makers, and crafting. I wonder if retro will eventually turn up in...

I am new to this website and just read thru 15 pages to find an answer and I still did not find one. I scored 3 2001 cavalier wiper motors but cannot get them to work. Have 5 wires coming out of them- yellow, gray, black, purple, and green. I tried to connect it several ways with no luck. I...

Hi all, new to the site, love this stuff! I'm hoping to pick your brains about a project im working on. I have a walmart gemmy talking skull and want to record my own message for it to say. I've seen many ways of doing this however I was wondering if anyone has tried recording onto the chip in...

I posted some of this year's videos on my web site. The first one "Always Look Both Ways" is the scariest thing I have seen in 8 years. The boy across the street was so excited that he forgot to look both ways. His Dad sounds like a religious man. http://www.snydercentral.com/H2014.htm
