I'm glad we have this subject. 

 

I love Halloween, many people aren't aware that this celebration goes way back, and when I was young in the north of `England we used to dress up, "bob for apples",  and get spooky.

 

I've just finished a couple of 3D prints, and my design for a skull head with light up eye sockets - very simple, a switch, a button battery and 2x Red LEDs, with a bit of wiring. The Skull was modified by me from a public domain model so I could add the  LEDs and other electronics, and "carve out a space" for it and the wiring.

The creepy hands are public domain also, but some slight changes for my needs

 

We are going away for a cruise that takes place over Halloween, so these were prepared for our cabin decorations.  I've printed out additional hands and a scary face for my son to decorate with.

 

Here are my designs, and I've stuck the hands and skull onto the fridge with magnetic strips which we will use on the ship.

Hi @Walter 

 

Thank you very much for sharing your amazing 3D printed hands and skull. This would look great on a bathroom mirror at night! 

 

Again, thanks for sharing your Halloween decor idea.
