How to Make a CHEAP Low Lying Fog Chiller-With Doctor Terror Eyes

Dr. TerrorEyes from Froggy's Fog walks through a DIY fog chiller build designed to produce dense, ground-hugging fog for outdoor Halloween cemetery displays on a tight budget. The design improves on the standard ice-chest chiller by swapping out typical flat wire grating for an internal metal component with significantly greater surface area, resulting in more efficient fog cooling. The host claims the entire unit can be assembled solo in roughly an hour. The tutorial pairs naturally with Froggy's own low-lying fog juice formula.
