Surely you recall Wild Bill Knowles and his <a href="https://spookydaily.com/p/skeletons-roasting-a-pickup-truck">pickup truck rotisserie Halloween display</a>. Now that Halloween is over for 2022, he gives us a demonstration of what the pickup can really do. You can understand why he didn't want to crank it up to full speed and have parts fly off before Halloween! But since the truck has passed the stress test, he is planning to incorporate it into his Christmas decorations. I can't wait to see that! -Thanks, Bruce!#decorations #display #skeleton #truck

Stress-Testing the Spinning Yard Truck

​<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@horrorprops">Dave and Aubrey Appel's</a> house in Plainfield, Illinois, is shaping up to be a real treat this Halloween! The couple have spent the last two months turning their house and yard into<a href="https://www.intheknow.com/post/stranger-things-halloween-decoration/" class="on"> a Stranger Things set.</a> You don't have to follow the show to appreciate the work that went into these constructions.

The most amazing prop we've seen so far is the floating Max. How do they do it?

While you are trying to figure out how they made Max float, also notice how very realistic the mannequin is. I thought it was a real person at first! I'm not the only one, In the comments, Dave and Aubrey tell us: "our neighbors who haven't seen the show think we are just "levitatiting our daughter". You may have noticed Vecna's chair in the background. Here's a closer look.

This project has drawn the attention of Netflix.

Dave and Aubrey aren't disclosing their secrets for making these props just yet, although they hint that tutorials will be forthcoming. Only one side of the yard is dedicated to Stranger Things; <a href="https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/couple-behind-stunning-stranger-things-display-in-plainfield-look-to-share-their-love-for-halloween/2955604/">on the other side </a>you'll see a variety of pop culture props the couple has been working on for years. They even <a href="https://www.facebook.com/infestedoaks/posts/pfbid0qzTL35Svs5nhUWDnvCyB18xmaiiEJGU38ugrgLnuSts59R9wpBbhkiHRaAFkGMkal">posted a schedule</a> for people wanting to see their yard. However, online may be the only place to enjoy the display. On Sunday, a complaint from one of their neighbors <a href="https://www.shawlocal.com/the-herald-news/arts-and-entertainment/2022/10/03/neighbors-complaint-prompts-plainfield-couple-to-take-down-floating-max-from-stranger-things/">brought the police to the Appel's home</a>. They took down the floating Max and made plans to stow all the other Halloween props. But after receiving a lot of support from fans, Dave and Aubrey are <a href="https://www.facebook.com/infestedoaks/posts/pfbid02qaD726duB1QfdXiNvtKQNaziDPQmfacbkWstBw5xKbi76tVGWogqP85xbdXRmTWol">in talks with the police and their neighborhood association</a> about their Halloween display, and we don't know what will happen.

The Stranger Things House is Amazing, But Its Future is in Flux

While there's nothing wrong with splurging for some over-the-top Halloween decorations, you'll get more bang for your buck by repurposing things you already have, and you'll get a unique display that way, too. Maybe even a viral display! Wild Bill Knowles did just that for his 2022 Halloween diorama at his home in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. A group of skeletons are roasting a 1999 Chevy S-10 pickup rotisserie-style over a fire! Meet the skeletons: Crankenstein, Frick and Frack, Klinger, Bonita, and Hacked-Up Hank! Hank is the one caught in a snowblower. Smilin' Sam is in the lawn chair to the right. Is this band of miscreants planning to eat the truck? Does it really matter? The purpose is to make the neighbors smile ...or make them nervous. -Thanks, Bruce! #decorations #display #skeleton #truck
