Halloween

45 nights of window projection builds, one a night.

19 days away

What we would build

Halloween is the flagship season here: a new projection build every night through October 31, each with a free looping video, the AI prompt behind it, and the full gear list.

The projection

Looping window and garage projections — a silhouette animation played through a sheer curtain from inside the house, so the street sees it and the projector stays hidden.

What it takes

A projector, a white sheer curtain or screen fabric, a fog machine, and something to play the file on repeat.

Same kit, every holiday

The projector, screen and lighting do not change between holidays. Only the file you play does, and the file is the cheap part.

The gear this uses

The shared kit behind every build on this site, not a Halloween-specific list — the hardware is genuinely the same for each holiday. Every link is a real product.

Halloween: questions

Honest answers, including whether the videos exist yet.

Does this system do Halloween?

Yes. 45 nights of window projection builds, one a night. Halloween is the flagship season here: a new projection build every night through October 31, each with a free looping video, the AI prompt behind it, and the full gear list.

Are the Halloween projection videos published yet?

Yes — Halloween builds are published and free to download. Open the builds page for the looping files and the prompts behind them.

What would a Halloween projection need?

A projector, a white sheer curtain or screen fabric, a fog machine, and something to play the file on repeat. The same hardware covers every other holiday on the calendar, so nothing here is single-use.

Can I keep the same projector for other holidays?

Yes, and that is the point. The projector, screen surface, lighting and sound do not change between holidays — only the file you play does. Buy once, change the content.

How far ahead should I set up?

Halloween is 19 days away. Most people buy in the last two to three weeks, which is exactly when stock and shipping get tight. Setting up earlier also lets you test the image after dark well before the day.

Where do the videos come from?

Every loop is generated from a written prompt rather than bought as stock footage. Each build page publishes the exact prompt used, so you can generate your own version of any theme at a different scale, speed or colour.
