We recommend a portable projector to generate illusions in different locations around the house or your apartment. Granted, any projector will work (we make those, by the way), but for the sake of convenience and mobility, a good portable is best. Battery life is essential here. Worthy portables offer at least two hours unplugged, meaning your zombies, ghouls, apparitions, and other horrors won’t just vanish with shame in thirty minutes. So make sure to charge up and don’t go for cheap portable projectors with batteries smaller than a gremlin.
For content delivery, or the source of all evil as we like to think of it, a USB stick serves the purpose just fine. Ghost animations or image files can be delivered to the projector via the handy USB port. Alternatively, because good portable projectors are smart portable projectors with Android TV, just use stuff from YouTube or any other website or app.
You’ll need something to project onto, because without that your goblins may end up shining into someone else’s house, and that’s a no-no. Light colored curtains and sheets are fine, or any semi-translucent material you can hang up in the window or the yard. We like curtains because their wavy surface provides free depth to projections, but if not available for some reason, any cheap shower curtain will do as long as it’s not too thick, dense, or dark. Any surface that’s very dark or thick will block or absorb the projection, taking away from its visibility and impact on unsuspecting audiences.
Extra trimmings add character to your sinister endeavors. LED lights, or maybe massive webbing if you go for the mutant spider angle.
