Here’s another cool DIY on how to make a motion-activated Halloween spider that will creep down your doorsteps to your Halloween candy-munching visitors.

I wanted to create a motion-activated spider to put on my door for Halloween. It drops down when visitors approach the entryway, activates a spot light to draw their attention to the spider, gives them a scare, then automatically retracts and resets itself, waiting to prey upon its next victim.

Yey, here’s another really gory halloween bloodbath fountain you can make for Halloween.

I haven’t ever participated in an Instructables contest so I thought I’d make something for this one instead of just stalking other people’s projects. You can make this without breaking the bank, and the construction is pretty straight forward so anybody can make it.

With everyone going solar crazy, here’s 2 cool DIYs that show you how to make solar pumpkin Jack-o-Lanterns.

The first one is pictured above and uses a solar torch (the ones used for garden lights).

The second one uses a smaller Solar LED unit.

I think both are great ideas for using existing solar gadgets into the pumpkin.

Well, knock yourself out with these two for the halloween and save some candles!

Remember Keepon, the cute little robot by the new robotics firm BeatBots we talked about a few days ago? Well BeatBots have started an online shop over at Zazzle (link below) and their first item to get stocked up is a very geeky t-shirt which they call the RobotFish. Needless to say, there isn’t much you need me to describe because the cartoon on the tee pretty much says it all, sorry Darwin, but you’re getting phased out by your own theory!

For $29, you can get your hands on the tee now from a range of sizes and a variey of colours!
