What this video covers
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a PVC-pipe candy slide that lets homeowners deliver Halloween treats to trick-or-treaters from a safe distance. The construction relies entirely on basic PVC fittings and a hacksaw, making it accessible to first-time builders. Once assembled, the chute serves as a blank decorating canvas — the duo dresses theirs up with cheesecloth, spray paint, a plastic skeleton, and a skull. Free downloadable plans are available on the Wicked Makers website.

- ◆Entire prop is built from standard PVC pipe and fittings — no advanced tools required
- ◆Keeps candy-givers and trick-or-treaters roughly six feet apart
