Day 7- Sad clowns scare me

Day 6-We go high tech

Here's a clip of Pepper's Ghost illusion in the works. We thought about doing this last year and it just was too complicated. But this year I think we got it. The basic idea is like the dancing ghosts from the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland. People will be able to see into our dining room window and will see a little girl in a pretty dress appear and disapear while sitting at the table. Music and such to be added later.
This page explains it better...

Day 5-Help mee Help mee

Funny? Creepy as all get out? Yes.



Our version is made with duct tape (greatest thing ever) clothes hangers, pool noodles and a $1 plastic skull. He doesn't do the chipmunk voice though. Maybe next year.
