A Little Ludwig Goes A Long Way

• Fold out shelving system. Wow this is just awesome looking.
• Kurt’s key list of propbuilding tools.
• Rich and Bob’s Tripod reco — Gitzo1541T and the Really Right Stuff BH-40LR. I actually need this.
• Hangman light. Awesome tho I think the rest of the family might object.

Remember the Leg Lamp from A Christmas Story?

• USB Aroma Diffuser/Hub/Moodlight — good to see that the tech industry inventive spirit remains alive, with products like this the US economy will remain a juggernaut for years to come.
• Paperclip Lamp. I bet it breaks if you adjust it too many times.
• GSelect. A whole site of overdesigned stuff that I should probably avoid.
• Infinite Attic. To store all the crap I shouldn’t have bought. Sadly I could really use this…

• Solar Camping Lantern — I remember the old coleman lanterns using white gas, the pumping, the mantles. What a pain in the a$%. This looks way simpler.
• King Cobra wristwatch — awesome looking. Tho I have completely given up on wristwatches.
• Carabiners make everything better. So true.
• Denture ice cubes. Seriously awesome.
• Resistor cheat sticker. I can never remember how to speak resistor.
• Antitheft lunch bags — brilliant.
• Woven wood chairs. Beautiful. Probably uncomfortable as hell.

• Single sheet plywood design contest. I’ve made a lot of single-sheet coffins for halloween, here are some other cool ideas
• Etched glass storage jars — I have old chemist bottles I bought from various sorts, here is how to fill out your mad scientist lab.
• Cosmic nightlight. Just looks cool.

• Lamp with Pigtails | Design Milk. Seems vaguely creepy, a bunch of these with dimmers in the living room for a halloween party would be eerie.
• Love these egg lights too. Fully lit they are kind of cheery. Put a dim pulsing bulb in there and it feels like the lower deck of some alien spaceship wreckage.

• How To Make bright green fire | Wonder How To — cool looking, i wonder how toxic this is
• Cheap ambient lighting with rope lights. Cool idea, my mausoleum could use this
• simple DMX controller. I went away from DMX as most of my effects are outside, and water doesn’t mix with dmx cabling, but maybe there is a way to rework my system — after all i basically moved all control electronics into the garage last year and just ran power cables out.
• Planningwiz floor plan software — i use a plan to layout all my halloween plans, this might be a simpler tool

• Welcome to tapemonster.com — some glow in the dark tape up here, might be useful
• Lunabrite rope light. probably not that useful for halloween projects but still cool.

One thing I have plenty of is fog. Between my whole yard fog system and my 4-5 point fog systems, i have fog galore.

This year I’d like to do a little more with fog and lighting. Fog Machine Vortex is one idea i may try. Another I am working on is to project a ghostly image onto a dense area of fog – kind of like fogscreen but way cheaper.
