It's a little early to be getting ready for Hallowe'en, but I really enjoyed this tutorial on making "witches' jars" for your Hallowe'en decor. They'd work just as well on the back shelf of your rec-room bar, after all.

Too early for Halloween? There's no such thing. I Look year round for things to use. Like the kids wading pool I used for a crashed UFO (with lights) for the for the front yard. Never did get the fog machine (for exhaust) installed though.
You can also buy jars with snakes in them on ebay. What don't they sell?
Ih, funny- we've been doing something pretty similar to this all week. The fakes go with some real quack medicine & poison bottles as part of our display.
