Most of us have felt that at some point because human brain has the tendency to visualize unusual images out of inanimate objects. If you have wild imagination, you’re likely to see faces everywhere you look. From cloud formations to plug sockets to the foam on your coffee – everyday objects can sometimes take the form of a human face. With just a hint of a pair of eyes and a mouth, our brain tends to interpret the similarity which results to the perception of a real face.

At a glance, his house will surely remind you of the haunted houses that you only see in horror movies.

Alan Perkins

A resident from Ohio has gone viral for building a giant skeleton that’s seemingly breaking out of his home

For starters, it features two massive skeleton arms extending outwards, creating the illusion that they’ve broken away from the ground. One hand grabs the house by the roof, as though it’s ready to turn the property upside down. Meanwhile, the other hand holds a 12-foot skeleton that Perkins borrowed from a neighbor. In case you’re wondering, yes, it’s the same piece from Home Depot that went viral last year.

Alan Perkins

Overall, it took Perkins 25 days to build the colossal skeleton from scratch. He used foams block which he bought from Craigslist five years ago and meticulously carved them into bones. He also used PVC armature for support and stability. Finally, he hard coated the pieces with sand and glue and reinforced them with sealant for waterproofing. As for the final touch, he revealed that he’s also planning to add a skull that’s breaking through the roof.

Meanwhile, other exceptionally eerie details of the house include a huge spider crawling across the boarded-up window and another skeleton climbing up the roof. There’s also a sign that reads “Haunt of the Falls” near the entrance, coupled with enormous spider webs throughout the front yard.

Alan Perkins

Perkins’ house is located in Olmsted Falls on River Road, and it’s certainly impossible to miss. So, if you happen to be within the area, be sure to pay his skeleton squad a visit! In the meantime, feel free to check out his Facebook profile for more updates on his monstrous masterpiece.

Bring the scariest horror movie characters right into your lawn and make everyone’s nightmare come true. These Halloween metal yard stakes feature outlines of the most horrifying villains to ever grace the screen. There’s Pennywise from IT, Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Ghostface from Scream. Simply stick the pointed stake into the ground and let the terrifying figures terrorize those who dare step into your lawn.

But the real shocker is revealed at night. Place these Halloween metal yard stakes preferably in front of a wall. Then place a mini spotlight or any sort of lighting in front of the figures. The figures will instantly cast life-size shadows of themselves against the wall. Watch as the creepy silhouettes of Pennywise, Freddy, or Ghostface magically emerge on the wall to give the neighborhood a night full of terror.

Halloween Metal Yard Stakes

These Halloween metal yard stakes are made of 14 gauge mild steel and each character is sold separately. However, you can also opt to get a set of 3 if you want to save more money. And you should get all three of them because nothing beats this wicked trio when they’re together. Each piece approximately measures 16 inches tall. But pair it with lights and it will cast a full-scale shadow of your favorite horror movie villain.

You can get these Halloween metal yards stakes in either raw metal or black powder coat finish. If you intend to use them in the open outdoors, we recommend you get the one with the black powder coating. This provides a protective barrier that helps prevent rust and corrosion caused by moisture and humidity. Although you can also choose to buy the raw metal and paint the steel yourself so you can customize the colors and protect the surface at the same time.

Similar to building a typical terrarium, you’ll first need a glass container. It can be an old jar, a fishbowl, or a small aquarium. You can also use a plastic container as long as it’s clear and transparent. Just keep in mind to choose a container with a wide mouth. That way, it would be easy for you to fill it with soil, plants, and other decorative elements.

Give your old glass containers a new life by transforming them into spooky little cemeterrariums

If you’re using real plants, be sure to add some drainage layers as terrariums don’t have drainage holes. You can start with a layer of gravel or crushed stones at the bottom then top it off with a layer of activated charcoal. Afterward, you can start adding a layer of sheet moss followed by a layer of potting mix.
