Ooga horn inside pumpkin scares trick or treaters -- video

This fellow put a 12-volt "ooga" car horn inside a jack-o-lantern on his porch to give trick-or-treaters a jolt of adrenaline. Link

I'm sorry, but that sucks. It's not funny or cool.

Mark,

You posted that 5 minute supremely obvious hack and haven't posted my interactive driveway game? What gives?

I believe what you mean by "ooga" is a klaxon.

Lummels,

Thanks! I'm a bit shocked that a horn in a pumpkin gets attention and the somewhat unique thing I cobbled together has been ignored so far. How many houses have you trick or treated at that have an eight foot tall video game back projected out of the garage? How many doors do you knock on where they hand you a real laser that is in an laser rifle housing and tell you to shoot stuff to blow it up in order to get candy?

Sorry if I sound bitter, but the horn in a pumpkin is ticking me off.
