Absolute awesomeness. That's exactly what I was thinking of when I went shopping. Have you any DIY details?

I had a couple of UV lamps and a disco ball (the multicoloured kind). Sadly I didn't think to take any photos of the waterfall effect, I only have pictures of the impressively or scantily clad guests.

Last Halloween I hunted high and low for a dry ice machine to add atmosphere to the party, but they were either extremely expensive or just not available. So I plumped somewhat grumpily for a standard smoke machine, thinking mist was almost as good.

However, I was in for a delightful Halloween ...

What an awesome video, I hadn't seen that before. Oh to have access to their costumiers! Good luck with yours anyway and post up pics upon completion!

Good day, one and all, I am The Traveller, and I throw the best Halloween parties west of the Shannon.

but I'm really trying to think of an interesting and "steamy" way to hand out candy... some sort of contraption/automaton that does something... I dunno!
Cheers, some handy tips there! Are they still selling those extendable boxing glove things, where you have two levers at the end and it extends ...

I'm trying to build up a nice steampunk costume for this year. They are quite hard to do, and expensive, so you have to spread the effort over time. Airship pirates ahoy!

Its pretty unlikely when you think about it, I mean physically you need stuff to keep muscles moving, joints swinging, and blood pumping. Unless there was some other mechanical agent involved, physics says no.
