DIY Halloween Projects
MAKE Magazine's been collecting a nice list of projects for spooking it up for yourself. For several years, we've gone through a really well-done haunted house put on by the Jaycee's here in town that goes through a natural cave system. It's made me want to do something in that vein ever since the first time through.
So, I'm starting to buy and make stuff to gradually build up my own little haunted section of the block. Next week's prime bargain hunting time as stuff goes on major clearance sales at nearly everywhere that sells anything in black and orange.
I've also been checking through this great long list of projects that the whole little underground community of haunters have put together detailing how to come up with great stuff with cheap materials. I'm particularly intrigued by the projects involving "monster mud", which is joint compound for drywall mixed with black paint. There are some really neat projects using that goop.
You can check out the photos submitted by participants in MAKE's contests to come up with cool Halloween stuff.
Oh, and anyone with a spare $100 to throw around can buy me one of these.
