I find Halloween is always a fun time of the year. In my neck of the woods, it seems more money is spent on Halloween decorations than almost any other holiday. My friends, Veronica and Don Chaney are a good case in point. It's their favorite time of the year and they go all-out decorating their house (Figure 1). I like to tease Don during the holiday by showing Veronica the latest and greatest decorations - to Don's (or actually his wallet's) dismay. I often get poked right back by him when he bugs me to build a couple of new automated creatures to add to their monster menagerie. Normally, I go into hiding at that point, but this year my friend, Vern Graner (full disclosure: he works for this magazine and is a Halloween nut too!) was showing me a couple of Halloween videos and one by Widgetwerks (see Resources) really caught my eye.
