My husband can get large 3 ft in diameter dryer drums. They are around 2- 2 1/2 ft tall... We can get several but I just don't know what to do with them.
They have many holes in them.... just like inside the dryer...

Thought about stacking 3 of them up. Put in a strobe light and a fog machine.
Then attach a motor that would 'bang' on the side of the drums..
The fog and light would come out of the holes and the motor hitting them would make quit a racket!

Just seems like there could be some great prop made out of these!!! ???

Put them in your front yard and plant flowers in them .... I'm sure your neighbors will love you all year long. LOL

Well the obvious is a witches cauldron, or some sort of pop up aka trash can tramua

Putting them in my yard........ Notta! hehe... Just another thing I'd have to trim around !

We're having a vampire themed haunt this year.... Loosely.

If you have a hill in your yard you can have kids roll down the hill in them on Halloween. If you find a use let me know I recycle 5 or 6 of them a week.

How about a bottomless pit (instead of the common square type).

Well the bad thing with the tots rolling down a hill..... our haunt is inside. But that would be a lot of fun for them.
I do like the bottomless pit idea Grimshady. Maybe would could mount one of these in a wall and do the bottomless pit idea into a endless tunnel. One that would look like they would have to crawl through.

Ok, getting some good ideas. Keep them flowing !

Make a big yard snake using the drums as the body, similar to cheap plastic segmented snake toys. From a distance at night you would never see the holes in the side. Trash bags or plastic sheeting to connect the segments and make a cone tail. Making a head would be a little more difficult--maybe cut & bend a drum to look like a mouth? Martha Stewart made a porch snake out of a line of pumpkins-wasn't scary but creative and unique, it was atleast 10 feet long.

So we are talking indoor ideas? It would be awesome if you do the huge snake idea indoors.

Yea its indoors... that would be a cool idea for a yard though! It would be big enough to draw some real attention!
