Exploding Microwave Halloween Prop

FrightProps showcases their Exploding Microwave prop, a commercially made haunted-house gag designed to pass as an ordinary kitchen appliance before launching into a sudden scare. The microwave door bursts open without warning, and the interior erupts into crackling, popping chaos to startle guests. The everyday disguise makes it especially effective in haunted kitchen or poltergeist-themed scenes.

Making a Sign from Galaxy's Edge

VanOaksProps recreates a sign spotted at Galaxy's Edge/Black Spire Outpost in Disneyland, replicating its weathered, alien-world aesthetic using layered spray paints, acrylic detailing, and powder-based distressing techniques. The build leans heavily on aging effects — including Fuller's Earth, baby powder, and hairspray — to sell the worn, battle-worn look of Batuu signage. Star Wars-accurate fonts sourced from a free aurebesh font resource help nail the authenticity. The finished piece is a compact, screen-faithful prop replica achievable in an afternoon.

Scary Valentine's day mask

Stiltbeast Studios tackles the lack of a go-to Valentine's Day monster by creating an original character called 'Ate of Hearts' built around a modified latex mask.

The result is a ready-to-wear character concept suited for home haunters, scare actors, and haunt operators looking to capitalize on the Valentine's Day weekend.
