Does he look a little alarmed?  It’s because there are only 4 days left until Halloween!  Have you been procrastinating your Halloween shopping?  There’s still time to express order from some retailers if you hurry! Let’s take one last look at Halloween props and gadgets for 2008.

This quivering doorman prop, which would make an excellent entrance for your Halloween party, is 6 feet tall.  There’s a built-in motion sensor which activates creepy quivering and funny phrases.  The candelabra lights up and flickers too.

Running your fog machine and keeping up with trick-or-treaters can be more than one person can do on Halloween night.  This fog machine timer lets you preset the intervals and duration of fog machine bursts.  It’s compatible with most fog machines and has a 5 foot cord.  I found it at BuyCostumes.Com for $14.99. Last minute reminder- don’t forget fog juice!

So here’s what happened to all those old Mac computers…they’ve all become Halloween pumpkins in a second life.  This looks like a cool way to have some fun with your old computers and make some cool Halloween decorations.  And, blaze orange spray paint just has a way of bringing out the best in outdated hardware.

Here’s the quick rundown on how to make these Halloween gadgets:

Obviously, the orange spray paint is used on the outside of the computer.  Next spray paint the mouse brown, and attach it to the top of the monitor using epoxy.  Make a Jack-O-Lantern face with any photo program and upload it to the Mac, and POOF, you’ve got a Mac-O-Lantern!   Complete Mac-O-Lantern instructions here.

Any volunteers for turning a new AirBook into a Mac-O-Lantern?

Halloween props, especially remote control Halloween props, are some of my favorite gadgets. Have you checked out some of the high tech Halloween decorations available this year? This remote control grim reaper is 5 feet tall and has red light up eyes. The reaper mounts on an included pole and rolling base which is disguised by the flowing shroud.

The remote control allows you to control front to back, and side to side movements. Just for some added spookiness, the grim reaper also laughs, and has pose-able arms. For indoor use only. I found the remote control grim reaper at Buy Costumes. Com for $69.99.

After you and your fellow ghouls have picked out your Halloween costumes, it’s time to start looking for Halloween decorations and gadgets scary enough to rattle the neighbor kids. In my opinion, there’s nothing scarier than an eerie, low-lying fog around some fake tombstones in your yard.

Here’s a fog machine to complete your Halloween decor. It features a 1000 watt heater and it emits up to 4500 cubic feet of fog every minute. There’s also a wired remote for covertly blasting bursts of fog for your trick-or-treating visitors. The fog machine uses water-based fog juice (included), and holds a quart at a time.
