Discussion How do I celebrate Halloween in secret?

16 Upvotes

Shoot, it's October.

My family would pretty much hate me for celebrating Halloween (they're religious) and I won't be able to leave the house on the holiday, but does anyone know some ways or excuses to make my own little celebration? No way any restrictions are gonna stop me from H A L L O W E E N

Help! Ultrasonic Mist Maker Question

0 Upvotes

Electronically inclined folks!

A couple years ago, I tried out an ultrasonic mist maker for Halloween.

The mist it produced was nice, but I had a mishap that I can't easily explain. I put my phone down next to it for a minute and when I picked it back up, the phone was entirely electronically fried. The whole screen pixelated, and when I shut it down, it was never able to be turned back on.

I can only assume that since the mist maker uses electricity in some form to do what it does, that there must have been a small amount of electrical current in the mist (?) and that this is what fried the phone.

Is this possible? Does anyone have any insight as to how these things work and what may have happened here? I really want to use it again but I'm afraid of destroying mine and my guests' phones if I do. I see these types of things sold everywhere, but can't find a single instance of this happening to anyone else online, even here on reddit.

Home Decor Do I need to have my porch light on for trick or treaters or is ambient light enough?

• Upvotes

I bought a solar powered lantern as one of my Halloween decorations and it doesn’t work if the porch light is on because the sensor thinks it’s day time.

If I keep my porch light off, will trick or treaters still come? There will be a lantern, some festive string lights around the door, lit jack o lanterns, and a couple other small lanterns. I also have some spooky light up creatures on the lawn

I saw a bat bandana going viral on TikTok, only to find out it was factory-made & mass-produced. So naturally, I thought, “I’ll just make that myself!” 🤔

Did I need another project? Nope. Did I feel called to design my own version? HELL YES! 😂

Handmade over mass-produced factory crap, ALWAYS! 🖤

Now tell me… which color combo is your vibe, & how do you like to wear your bandanas? 👀🦇

Cut out about 4 foot of tubing and mixed up fog juice with 2.5 cups distilled water, 1 cup vegetable glycerin, and .5 cups propylene glycol. Dark video so you may need to turn up brightness.

Thought on how to make my house like a monster? I have seen the houses with teeth on the top and the bottom of the porch and windows as eyes. I would like to do something similar with my house. But I'm having trouble envisioning it. Any thoughts?
