I really wish I was electronics Savvy now...

I just had this really cool idea as I was walking down to the post office today. Figures I'd be thinking of Halloween in broad day light when it's almost noon...then again it's cloudy outside so it just might storm. Mwahaha.
Anyway...let's cut to the chase with my idea:

A realistic ghostly haunt. It would involve a lot of light and sound effects. The idea was to have the illusion of ghosts actually flying in front of the house, and have the porch light flicker as though there was something wrong with the electric (but it's actually just part of the show) with the sound of thunder crackling and lighting effects. In other wards, making your house actually look like there's some spiritual activity going on! I'm not even talking about little lights floating in front of the house either....but actual ghosts...like the ones that look like floating sheets with two eyes and a spooky "booooooooooo!" mouth. There would also be the eerie sound of ghosts moaning and groaning to create quite a fright. It would be quite a light show...a display that would be the talk of the town.

And of course, I would have a grave yard and black cats in the front yard. I wouldn't be Mau without cats!

But in any case....there's just one teeny problem. I don't know a darn thing about electronics or light and sound effects! I would literally have to have a complete idiots guide for setting up Halloween displays like that.
This probably seems crazy, crazy, a graveyard theory,
A ghost tried to approach me and got leery.
Ask him a question and he vanished in a second...
