Wicked Makers transform a classic Barbie Dreamhouse into a horror-themed haunted dollhouse, complete with custom-sculpted miniature props, spooky lighting, and pop-culture scares. The build draws on iconic horror films and shows — including The Ring, Scream, and Stranger Things — to populate each room with a distinct scene. An Arduino Uno R4 powers the electronic effects, while digital video projections add an extra layer of creepiness. This short teases the full build video.
VanOaksProps launches a new experimental series called Prop Lab, where the creator openly documents the learning process behind ambitious Halloween builds — including mistakes and limitations. This debut episode focuses on building a DIY fog projection screen capable of displaying a ghostly digital effect from Spectral Illusions. The build combines a small pico projector with a reptile fogger and computer fans to generate and shape a fog curtain thin enough to serve as a projection surface. The video emphasizes honest problem-solving over polished results, making it as much a learning resource as a how-to.
FrightProps walks through their triggerable digital video player, a device designed to play video effects on demand via a push-button activation. The tutorial covers how to integrate the unit into Halloween props and haunted house setups for on-cue scares and visual effects. It offers a compact, accessible solution for creators who want interactive video without complex programming.
In this quick clip, Josh Holder of The Frightmare Compound shows how to add a cinematic touch to a home haunt using Atmosfear FX digital effects. He demonstrates a simple approach of displaying the effect on a TV or projection surface to surprise guests with minimal effort. The short runtime keeps it focused on the core idea rather than an in-depth build.
