20,000 volts of Jacob's Ladder sparks and four programmable flamethrowers waiting outside on a misty, overcast afternoon. Bring on the kiddies in their flammable nylon costumes. They did say, "Trick or treat" !

FYI, a simple IR universal TV remote control works great outdoors at night. Video from last year:

    Nice erco!

    I wasn't able to deck the house this year with creepy webs and strategically placed strands of #38 copper wire that you can't see but are enough to creep you out when you walk through them in the dark..... this year I had costume duty for the girls. My oldest is going as "toothless" from how to train your dragon ... equipped with full BLUE throbbing LED's along the "spine" of her suit. While my youngest is going as the Queen of Hearts ... equipped with a sparkling bright white LED scepter wand that's almost blinding. Of course both costumes are completely hand made, we believe part of the fun is in the creation. A store bought costume kills all the fun.

    Nice setup, Erco.

    But what's with the poison oak in the flower bed?

























    Haha! Made you look!
