Halloween is absolutely my favorite time of the year. There's a couple of small things I've already started doing. These skulls are available at Micheals. They are originally designed to use a LED tea light, they look terrible with these tea lights not to mention expensive batteries. I found a way to electrify it. I was able to drill straight through the center of the piece, and run wires through it. I'm using 1950's bakelite Christmas light sockets because the plugs on these can be desoldered and then reinstalled. The wiring is also much easier to work with. I mounted the socket using Epoxy. The pictures do not it justice and it's very eerie at night. The wire comes out of the base like it was from the factory that way.
too cool -I always set up lights and decorations for Halloween too,and play suitable music as well-I have a couple lanterns with simulated LED "candle"and they look pretty good.I recently got a ~1970 hanging lamp in black with amber glass and it has a kinda creepy appearance,so I might deploy that this Halloween I have been in costume for Halloween only twice though:in 1978 as a robot-built out of cardboard,was wired for lights and featured a rotating "radar"dish.2nd was in 2000 when I had noticed I had an acute resemblance,including about same age and size, to a cowboy in a 1989 Sci-Fi comedy,so was that guy at a private Halloween party
