Glowing Chicken Wire Ghost 👻 DIY Halloween Props

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie walk through building a glowing chicken wire ghost designed to float in a yard haunt setting. The ghost is shaped using chicken wire over a mannequin form, suspended with fishing line, and finished with glow-in-the-dark spray paint and Halloween lighting for a striking nighttime effect. The creators note the glow paint alone delivers minimal results, but combining it with dedicated Halloween lights produces the full glowing look. A fog machine adds an atmospheric finishing touch that elevates the overall display.

Spooky Haunted Two-Way Mirror 💀 DIY Halloween Props

Wicked Makers (Jaimie and Jay) build a motion-triggered haunted mirror prop for their yard haunt by combining a thrift-store vintage frame, a two-way mirror panel, and a monitor running custom ghost footage. The ghost video stars Jaimie, professionally enhanced with visual effects and eerie audio by Fiverr artists. When a trick-or-treater walks up, the motion sensor fires the media player and a ghostly apparition materializes in the mirror. The build draws inspiration from their earlier DIY smart mirror project and folklore figures like Bloody Mary and Candyman.

DIY Pepper's Ghost in a Jar

VanOaksProps demonstrates how to recreate the classic Pepper's Ghost optical illusion at miniature scale, housing the effect inside a bell jar for a self-contained Halloween display piece. Inspired by the iconic ballroom scene in Disney's Haunted Mansion, the build uses an angled reflective surface to make a hidden 'ghost' image appear to float inside the jar. A decorative fake book, constructed from cardboard, is also built to conceal the hidden projection source and give the display a polished, themed look. The result is a compact, eye-catching prop that punches well above its apparent complexity.
