Make:: They think treat, we think trick! This DIY talking skull project can be controlled from afar so that you can prank your trick-or-treaters. They’ll think it’s a store-bought Halloween display, but then when it starts to say things that could never have been pre-recorded, they’ll think it’s possessed and run away!!!!!

Honestly, I think that this would be a wicked cool job to have. I mean it would definitely not have the same kind of prestige as like a broadway show job but it would be fun and you would know that your designs are enjoyed by people everywhere every day of the month in October. Especially if you get really clever or funny with them. Like there was recently a large pumpkin animatronic that went viral on line. He says “I am not a Jack o lantern, my name is Louis.” It is stupid and funny and not of the best quality in the world but it made people laugh. It made someone’s day a little more tolerable. And, to be completely honest with you, I think it may have made more of an impact on people than some plays I have seen. Not to mention the fact that hokey halloween decorations like this are usually a treasured memory for families.
