I thought maybe someone was protesting Halloween where you live.

Besides, I stopped doing that when everyone started carrying around cell phones. Last time? Didn't we have egg on our faces when all 5 of us vouched for each other's whereabouts only to all end up in 200+ time stamped videos posted to boobtoob before we even got home.

Can't do nuffin' anymore!

We got a ton of 'likes' tho. My buddy was streaming the whole time.

There is also an accompanying banjo player and one other that does something else (I can't remember what).

Dammit, now I want the banjo player! And I want my guy to have light-up eyes! I got jipped! LOL.

The only other one we saw here at the Halloween stores was a stand-up skeleton carrying an electric guitar and I think it was wearing '60s hippie clothes or something of the like. Only saw it at the Halloween stores though...Home Depot only had our harmonica player with a straw hat.

Add LEDs to each of the eyes. Stupid simple. You could even install a rheostat to control brightness.

April 1st among other things, marks the first day of Halloween project planning.

I have to figure out what new props I want to do.
Which ones are most 'bang for the buck' when it comes to payoff vs. time spent.
Work those into what I've made from previous years.

Use the same stuff from previous years with quick modifications, like swapping their heads or a new paint job.

That portion comes with the territory. Lots of stuff gets modified each year. I like to add at least one new prop each year. Those of course, get tweaked the following year, etc...

My glowing banshee from last year, will get upgrades and improvements. I want to add to motion (of some sort) this year but haven't chosen a method.

Well...

I've made a top secret order for a top secret Halloween project.

It's an electronics item and open several possibilities. I will have to nail down what it is I want to do with these devices.

I think Feinswine is still more scary than AOC. She's a lightweight, dimwitted amateur in that league. Duct tape her mouth shut and she's still kinda hawt, at least.

Their heads will work on either of them because they are all hollow ,and the head an butts will swap out because most of the time they are talking out of their a$$ any way so the possibilities are endless

This was one prop I did at an old apt, wasn’t sure if I was liked or feared after Halloween. My neighbor was surely uneased
