I wish I had thought of this. Or at least seen it earlier.
I’ll be scaring the shit out of the neighborhood kids with this next year.

It is as though his character can feel my frustration with this town and its pretentious inhabitants.
One Halloween, long ago, I took an old bicycle helmet, and mounted a motion activated yard light under it. I put big colored bulbs in the light sockets. Using coat hangers, I then hung an old ghetto blaster under the lights, and an oscillating fan under that; I rigged the oscillator to the coat hangers so it would move the frame back and forth in a herky jerky way. I draped an old white sheet over everything, with just the lights protruding. I put spooky H’ween music in the cassette player. I plugged it in and hung it next to the front door. Every time a group of kids came to the front door they’d trigger the motion detector, which turned on the lights, music and fan. Instant spooky ghost! It worked quite well, freaked out a lot of kids! 😀
Never argue with an idiot – they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
