Jen Yates of Cake Wrecks fame and her husband John decided to go with a Ghostbusters theme for their Halloween decorations. It started out with a simple shopping trip, but then turned into a project, which led to another project, and before you know it, there’s ghosts and Ghostbusters all over. Just a mere Slimer decoration wouldn’t do, so they ended up with the proton stream above.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
The proton pack itself (not pictured off to the right) is attached to an adjustable stand, and the wand is held in place with a steel bar. So to take a picture you just have to stand with your back to the pack and act like you’re holding the wand. In the low light it will look like you’re actually wearing the pack!
We’re still working out some safety details (tripping hazards, etc), but I *think* this is going to work, and I am SO DARN EXCITED.
The real magic is that proton stream, which John made by wrapping a red plastic tablecloth around white LED rope lighting. Then he taped blue EL wire haphazardly down the whole length for the crackly lightning effect.
Check out the doghouse.
But neither of those are the main subject of the blog post. That’s a life-sized Stay Puft Marshmallow Man head that they sewed together for the roof. See all their Halloween projects (so far) at Epbot.
