Tired of the hoodlums destroying your pumpkins? Looking for a little payback? Here’s a project that will allow you to get some vengeance. Plus, it’d be fun to shoot silly string at the older kids that show up on your front step this Halloween.
This pumpkin does a bit more then just fire silly string. It’s controlled by an Arduino device coupled with an IR motion sensor, which allows it to shoot the aforementioned silly string. It also controls a sound box, and will twitter when it fires so you can count how many victims.
It’s not a complicated build, but requires some specialized hardware so you better get to it if you want to be set up in time for the weekend.

Somebody’s going to steal it.
That’s retarded, so you can waste even more money for crap the kids going to destroy any ways? What would be better is having an air horn that goes off if the kid comes within the range of it. Super loud horn and have a huge flood light attached to the house that would go off. Now that would be the proper revenge.
