DIY Ghost

Here’s a new trick on how to get a few good screams. You simply need some chicken wire, a pair of protective gloves and gardening clippers. Using the chicken wire, shape your ghost and cut off any additional wire with the gardening clippers. Play with the wire until you get the perfect human-size shape you want. Finally, stand it up and let the screams commence. Credit: Wacky Archives

Head in a Vat

Simple, easy and kind of disturbing. Add food coloring (green looks especially good) into a bottle of hair gel. Shake up the bottle so the color evenly distributes throughout the gel. Place a creepy head—you can find one at any store that sells Halloween decorations—into an empty jar (mason, empty pickle jar, etc.) Squeeze the hair gel (brain goop) onto the head and fill the jar completely. Screw on the jar's cap, and voilà—you have a head in a vat. Credit: I Gotta Try That! Blog
