BOO!
The Instructables Halloween Contest is back for its 12th straight year, and we are giving away double the amount of prizes from last year! There will be 40 winners overall including special judges prizes for the best costume, prop, decoration, and recipe.* We are also making a special Halloween-themed prize pack for this contest.
Show us your best Halloween themed projects for your chance to win. These can include costumes, makeup, decorations, and recipes, but it is really only limited by your imagination.
Go out and get ghouling!
*A prop is something that is held/part of your costume and a decoration is something that would be part of your Halloween decor.
