Hidden Projector Tombstone feat. the AAXA HP1

VanOaksProps walks through building a realistic foam tombstone that doubles as a concealed housing for a compact projector, keeping the unit hidden from view and shielded from the elements. The build covers foam carving and shaping, router detailing, and a multi-step paint process to achieve a convincing aged-stone look. The finished prop integrates seamlessly into a graveyard display while secretly delivering Halloween projection effects. It's a clever solution for haunters who want polished projection visuals without exposing expensive equipment.

Super Easy Faux Granite Paint

VanOaksProps demonstrates a fast, beginner-friendly technique for achieving a convincing faux granite finish, applied here to create a Halloween grave marker. The method layers multiple FolkArt acrylic colors using spray bottles and a mesh strainer to mimic the speckled texture of real stone. A vinyl stencil cut on a Silhouette Cameo adds crisp lettering or imagery, and a Mod Podge Gloss topcoat ties the finish together. The result is an inexpensive, eye-catching cemetery prop that can be completed in well under an hour.

How to Hide Speakers in your Haunt or Halloween Display

This short tutorial from VanOaksProps demonstrates how to turn any flat prop surface into a hidden speaker using an audio exciter — no visible speaker cabinet required. Using a foam tombstone as the example, the build shows how an exciter unit is glued directly to the prop, allowing the surface itself to vibrate and produce sound. The setup requires a small amplifier and audio source connected to the exciter via speaker wire. It's a clever, low-cost solution for adding invisible ambient audio to a haunt or yard display.
