Use Tech To Have The Spookiest House On The Block This Halloween
The spooky season is upon us and you should expect some tricks soon. Before you prepare desserts, take some time to build up your confidence.
Vandalism and property damage are more common during the holiday season. Whether you're at home or on the go, you want to see everything. Video doorbells are an easy way to protect your home. Tap or click here for my favorite bell to follow what's happening in front of you.
If you want to get fancy and spice up your home this October, you can do it with a little technology. You can look great without breaking the bank. Here's how a little technology can take your Halloween decorations to the next level.
Digitize your Halloween!
Every day I see all sorts of stories from the digital world, from new gadgets to innovative ways technology can make life more convenient and fun. Which brings me to Halloween.
Over the years, Halloween decorations have included Styrofoam graves, plastic skeletons, artificial spider webs and large inflatable boats. But this year, you can mix things up with some cool digital special effects that make it look like you have a spooky family in your house.
It's easy to bring outside spirits into your home. This setup takes less than an hour.
Very nice isn't it? Here's what you need to create this Halloween effect:
- material projection
- projector
- camera tripod
- DVD player.
- Portable bluetooth speaker.
- Bluetooth transmitter (optional).
time on screen
First, slide the curtains to both sides and pull them up. Now we need material to cover the window. You can use translucent materials, such as light-colored curtains or nets.
Here's a collection of RYB Home curtains to work with, or you can get what you need from your local fabric store. Be sure to stretch the material as flat as possible, otherwise the projected image will be distorted.
Projectors have many uses
You don't need an expensive home theater projector for this. This Crenova mini projector can be used to watch movies in the backyard when not showing scary Halloween stuff. You can also connect your phone via HDMI cable.
Another solid option is this Vilinice projector, which can connect to your device via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
Whichever projector you choose, we recommend a 1080p HD resolution projector or better for a clearer picture.
Give your projector a few feet
If there is no specific screen size setting, make sure you have enough room to move the projector closer or closer to get the right size. Place it on a table or mount it on a simple camera tripod, like this one from AmazonBasics. It ranges from 25 inches to 60 inches and weighs only three pounds.
For video, you can order an AtmosFX digital rendering DVD and connect the DVD player to your projector.
An affordable option is this Sony Blu-ray player. Upgrade your Blu-Ray discs to 4K and DVD HD quality and have Bluetooth connectivity.
Don't forget the scary sound
Once the screen, projector and digital decor are set up, it's time for spooky sounds. If you don't open the window, no one outside can hear the video's awesome soundtrack.
Place a waterproof Bluetooth speaker outside for extra ambiance. These Anker Soundcore speakers pack a lot of sound into a small package and boast 24 hours of battery life.
If your projector doesn't have Bluetooth functionality, you can add a small transmitter to connect to your speakers wirelessly.
Finally, a tip if you don't want to leave the projector on all night. Connect to a smart outlet like this Amazon Smart Plug and set the time to turn off every night with the Alexa app.
Now you're ready to be the scariest house on the block!
