I recently came across a single from emerging recording artist Carly Jamison that I absolutely love, called The Devil’s Trying to Bring Me Down. This song instantly grabbed me and made me think of it as something Robert Rodriguez or Quentin Tarantino would love. Seriously, this song could easily have been on the soundtracks for From Dusk Till Dawn, Grindhouse, or Pulp Fiction.

Life Size Halloween Coffin

Fortunately, I recently found a much better alternative, which appears to be more durable and is priced very reasonably.
Naturally, I thought I’d check it out and see if it was worth getting, or if it was just another over-hyped prop we should all do without.
Best Low-Lying Fog Machines: Review

The best low-lying fog machines are the American DJ Mister Kool Low-Lying Fogger
Low-lying fog machines range in price from about $60-250 or more, but I’ve narrowed down the options to these two models because they’re ideally suited for a Halloween party.
Sodial Flameless Candles: Halloween Flickering Lights
4
Looking for flameless candles to use as your Halloween flickering lights? I don’t blame you!
If you’ve ever struggled to light a candle inside a jack-o-lantern or burned your finger while depositing a lit teal light inside a pumpkin, you know the hassles people go through for the classic beauty of a flickering flame.
I personally switched from real tea lights to LED battery-operated flickering lights because they’re safer and last longer. I’ve tried different ones over the years, but found that I prefer the smaller teal light models because they’re not as bulky as larger flameless candles and pumpkin lights. The ones I currently use are made by a company called Sodial so I thought I’d put together a review of them for those of you who may not have tried them before.
American DJ Spherion Tri LED: Dance Club Effects
0
The American DJ Spherion Tri LED rotating dance light creates a variety of amazing multi-coloured light shows, turning your space into a dance club and heightening the energy level at your party. While looking at Halloween lights and decorations, I stumbled upon it and bought mine just in time for my 2014 Halloween party. I haven’t looked back since.
I’m not a DJ, so I wanted something I could just set and forget. While the American DJ Spherion Tri LED
GloMania Luminous Paint: Invisible Glow in the Dark Paint
0
One of my favourite tricks is to apply invisible glow-in-the-dark paint — that is, luminous paint that glows in the dark after having been exposed to natural sunlight long enough — to my Halloween props and decor. The question is, where you can find the best one?
Initially I tried some cheap ones that didn’t really glow much if at all because the pigment wasn’t sufficient. Others work fine but only come in a couple of colours, usually in the blue-green spectrum. That said, I’ve now been using the ones by GloMania
Gemmy Dropping Black Widow Spider: Review
2
This is my review of the Gemmy Dropping Black Widow Spider. I bought this at Canadian Tire last year. According to the packaging, it was supposed to drop down to surprise unsuspecting visitors, but to my dismay, it didn’t work at all. It didn’t drop. The string just hung there, and the eyes didn’t even light up. Nothing.
I replaced the batteries with brand new ones, to no avail. Then I thought I probably just had a lemon, so I exchanged it for a new one – only to have the exact same problem. The only thing it was good for was a static prop. In short, I’m not a fan of the Gemmy Dropping Black Widow Spider
BuyNeu: Easy DIY Halloween Costumes
2If you want ideas for easy DIY Halloween costumes, have I got the website for you – especially if you want something that looks seriously amazing, like a realistic Batman, Iron Man, RoboCop, Master Chief (from Halo), or Predator costume.
I’m not particularly skilled at making my own Halloween costumes from scratch, so when I heard about this site called BuyNeu claiming they could help me build my own costume – and cool ones of licensed characters – I was skeptical to say the least. They offer to build it for you prefer to have someone else do the work, which I found believable enough, but to give me everything I need to build it myself? Come on.
