You will need a little LED flashlight
cardboard
packing tape
an old deceased CD (we all have burned some coasters)
clear or opaque tube, I used an old golf club protector tube thingy

Sharpie
scissors

What you need:
A handle
2 old school bungie cords
1/4 inch bolts, nuts and washers, as needed, at least 4 of each.

Remove the hooks from the bungie cords
Thread the bolts through the holes on the handles

		<description><![CDATA[Old style mannequin.  These were built several years ago.  Again very simple and very similar to the new ones.  Biggest difference is these take more work because I used chicken wire to form out the legs and cardboard draped over the chest area to form the torso.  Otherwise the same setup as the new ones.

		<description><![CDATA[HH Fencing
These work pretty well for keeping people away from frights but still allowing folks to see them.
You will need:
Scrap 2&#215;4&#8217;s
screws
saw
drill to drive screws.
Cut two uprights about as tall as you want them.  We went a little taller than waist high.
two 2&#215;4s for horizontal bits.
2 2&#215;4s for feet.  2 feet long is plenty.  Just enough [...]]]></description>

What you will need.
55 gallon plastic drum.
Cardboard.
Scrap 2&#215;4s
screws
Paint.
duct tape.
We took the bottom half of a plastic 55 gallon drum.   We used a drum like the one below cut in half.  I think any large bucket or barrel would work.  I have seen large styrofoam plant pots that might work.

What you&#8217;ll need:
scrap 2&#215;4&#8217;s
screws
foam
duct tape
landscaping fabric
saw (I used a circular saw)
screw driver (I used a cordless drill)

		<description><![CDATA[This has been done ad nausium elsewhere, so it won&#8217;t be belabored much here.  Simply cut tombstone shapes out of 1 inch insulation foam.  Attach them at the bottom to scrap 2&#215;4s.  Paint a good stony color.  Paint witty epitaphs on them.  We usually try to put inside jokes on them.  Or your pirate name.

		<description><![CDATA[The biggest drag of building the haunted house every year has been building walls.  Usually we would have 3 or 4 nights of just wall building.  This last year, Jason and I spent a couple of nights building some flats.  This is a trick straight from our days of working in the theatre (thanks Doane).  [...]]]></description>
