Derek at MadHausCreative came up with a cool prop a while back. I made one a couple of years ago from his instructions. Here is his site:

This really is a cool and easy project to do. I also had a fellow haunter send me some more images and he asked that I post them on my website so that everyone else could have access to them. Here is the new page I put them all on:

Looks great, Ghostess!!!

I used to have some creature heads in the bottles long time ago, but I gave them away. :cry:


Well, not this year - maybe next year I probably go get some of them for Halloween yardhaunt of mine. 8)

I am going to make that one for sure.

Much more my speed, no creative juices required! :oops:

Thanks for the link!

amazing! Thanks for the ideas. Did you use a colored glass bottle for this?

I didn't post the picture of mine. The only pics I have of it are not very good and right now the bottle is in the attic somewhere packed away until next month. Here is the crappy pic I have:

It's on the right hand side of the shelf. I used a clear bottle. It was a last minute prop 2 years ago, and I had a Karo syrup bottle that I had emptied to use for it.

THanks. Yeah, I made labels and filled all the bottles. I'm remaking the labels this year for a more uniform look though.

Wow, I love all your potion bottles and stuff. Did you make the labels yourself and the ingrediants or did you buy it all?
