Someone shared this cool idea on facebook involving milk jugs, so I decided to click on the link to the website. I think this was the project: http://www.budget101.com/halloween-deco ... -4883.html

Here's a picture from the facebook post:

The website is called budget101, and it has some really neat ideas that you can use for Halloween decorating, and it involves some creative ways to recycle as well. :)

Check it out. My friend also suggested using orange lights to make it more realistic. :)

Now that's a neat idea. Down here we could call them redneck jack-o-lanterns! :D :D :lol: :lol:

Oh, I've had a display like that for years. It is always a hit with the kids. (I found it in a magazine called Family Fun.) They are called Spirit Jugs or Ghost Lights, something like that.

:lol: Redneck jack o lanterns. That's great. That actually inspired an idea. Why not take some beer or soda cans, and some orange paint; paint the cans and cut jack o lantern faces into them, and then hang them up on a string of white Christmas lights. You could do an entire Redneck Halloween theme. :)

That's awesome Murf! Maybe I'll give them a try. I like the "Ghost Lights" title.
