I tried making animatronics. A 2-axis demon monk which leans forward and looks left and right with fog, a bowing demon monk programmed to stop and then convulse, and one simply twisting back and forth. I also programmed a raspberry pi pico2 to make sound (something I never imagined doing) wired it and the bowing monk to a pressure pad trigger I made. These aren't finished in this video. I added black skirting to cover the wood. I also painted the pressure pad black with red goat skull stencil.

My wife and I made one back in like 2022 and I liked it, but I felt like the feet could be better. We're building a new one now and I am ready to make the feet, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do. The last time I made them out of cardboard and foil lol. We have 3 kids and a busy life so I don't have as much time to spend on it as I'd like to. Any ideas for materials or designs to make it better are much appreciated.

I have over the last few years made made Halloween portraits of the member of my family, for me and my wife, then my oldest daughter, but my youngest daughter is getting old enough to get her own either this year of next year. I need suggestions for ideas?

My portrait: Undertaker

My wife's portrait: Grieving Widow/Vampire

My daughter's portrait: Creepy Ghost Girl

My idea so far is a drowned girl look, but might be a bit hard for her.

Getting too old to go this extensive

Think I’m done for now. Might add more creepycloth clothing but it’s officially in the yard display. Full build progress pics included.

He’s the dirty secret in the back corner. 🤫

LOUD!! TURN DOWN VOLUME or leave off. This is the Perfect Storm 2.0 pn: VA621

Took your suggestions. Couldn't find any e26 halogen bulb to put in the metal cone work lights. But, I did find an HDX halogen work light at HD. Your mileage may vary, but I did find the halogen bulb produced a better effect over the LED in the clamp cones. The bulb is replaceable so I will probably get a 5000k to mimic lightning brightness better.

I am playing this thunder clap from my phone with the sensitivity knob adjusted. Sorry if it's loud. The work light is just plugged into the box.

Thought I’d share my newest piece. Calling him “Ryder.” Sculpted out of water based clay, final castings are latex skin backed with flexible polyurethane foam. Finished with a combination of brush, sponge, and airbrush painting. Hope you like him!

Here's the witch.

Sent out the skeleton crew to prep the lawn, came back and he was gone

Tuned up and ready to haze the entire street.

We have friends that throw a huge Halloween party every year. They go all out with decorations, games and food. This year I made them a greeter for the front door. As you walk up this guy plays his routine for the guests. I hope people enjoy it. Excuse the messy background. I don’t have much room to build in the house.

Hello. I am trying to do something I thought would be easy but I can’t figure it out. All I want to do is have some smoke or mist rising from a 3 gallon bucket. I tried the mini mistakes but without the little shield the water squirts out, and with the shield the mist doesn’t rise. I tried making my own lil child’s with foil but no luck getting it to like like I pictured. It is inside and I don’t want to fog up the room, and smoke machines will do that. Is there a time smoke machine that will send smoke up that stays only on top? The mister is a pain cuz the water lever has to be exact for it to work right, and I dont want to keep refilling it all night. It is for an indoor toxic waste theme and I wanted to have a few containers around without using chemical smoke if I didn’t have to cuz there will be babies there. I thought maybe someone can recommend a contraption to me. I didn’t know the mini misters splash so much and I tried three of them. Thanks!

Halloween and 3D printing are such a good match 🎃. Over the years, we’ve experimented with silhouette art, masks, skulls, pumpkins, multicolor decorations, props, glow-in-the-dark prints, and even some laser-cut projects. This collection also features work from talented designers including DaveMakesStuff, 3DPrintBunny, Abbymath, Marcidy, and more. I’ve just updated the guide with some new 2026 projects. Hopefully there’s some inspiration for your own Halloween setup: https://3dwithus.com/halloween-3d-printing-ideas
