You Can’t Creep up on This Creepy Cauldron!

Fall officially arrived last Sunday, which means we are shifting gears into Halloween-mode. The decorations are coming down from the attic, costume brainstorming has begun, and we’re revisiting some of our favorite spooky DIY projects from years past.

This 2016 project from Barton Listick is a total classic.

About a week before Halloween I discovered that my trusty (and cheap) store-bought witch’s cauldron, with sound effects, fog, and lights, was no longer working.

Rather than throw the whole thing away, I decided to rip out the guts and retrofit the cauldron with new components and added interactivity.

Check out the full write-up here on Hackster.io.
