The best pumpkin faces!!
Thanks! I'm glad you dig em.
I was really happy with how they all turned out.
I really like the blue light in the penultimate picture. So nice and cold and strong. The contrast to the pumpkin is really good.
Thanks! Really dug that effect. The porch seemed very warm as a result.
Is your cauldron fog or incense smoke with a light? Currently struggling with how I want to display a cauldron effect this year. Water with a mister and submersible lights, or just piped-in fog with a light. My preference is something self-contained without cords or piping fog in, etc.
For 2021 it was a decent sized pile of incense resin with three charcoal discs on top. It burns for about thirty minutes. I had a small green LED light in there as well. Had to keep refreshing it, but it was definitely effective.
Thanks! What kind of incense resin did you use? I think you mentioned copal before?
Did you buy those rusted cans some where, or did you make them? They're very cool. If you made them, how did you do it?
Mr. Macabre
I made those cans. Painted them with paint loaded with coffee grounds to make them look rusted. But before I painted them, I cut the features out with a box cutter. Very sharp and risky stuff since I was cutting them that way. Lots of sharp edges. Not the safest project, but the end result seems to please people who come up on the porch. They seem more excited to see tin cans than pumpkins, and I totally dig.
And the incense I use is White Copal... Here's a link below...
It drowns the charcoals if you put it on top, so I always put some in a small "bowl" of aluminum foil that I crudely make, and then plop three charcoal discs on top, layered like a pyramid so the top coal can keep the bottom ones going when they start to melt the incense too much.

thanks for the info! I've got some cans. I will try my version and use yours as inspiration
Thanks for the info on your incense set up, I might try that this year. I really like the idea of adding scent to a display scene. I just tested the cauldron filled with water + a 3-head mister + submersible LED puck lights and it looked good but splatters a lot of water droplets, is a bit noisy, and I’m not thrilled with trying to conceal the power cord. Another one of those things that looks really good objectivity but not good enough for the discerning haunter, ha ha.
I have had ALL of those fears! The cord going into a cauldron is always such an obstacle. When it's not a plastic cauldron, that is. I get lulls inbetween trick or treaters...so freshening up the incense wasn't a problem every forty minutes or so.
Great stuff Rot!! Can't wait to see this year's work!!
