DIY Hocus Pocus Build
Just a Bunch of Hocus Pocus
2021 was just a bunch of Hocus Pocus at our house. We took the Sanderson Sister’s house from one of our favorite movies and made it a reality. In part one of the videos below, see how I build the witch house facade. In part two, watch me assemble it in the front yard, and add all the accessories and details to make it look great.

The Halloween and harvest season is my favorite time of year. I’ve decorated my house every year since I was a kid. Now, I always try to make the house a fun destination for trick-or-treaters.

Building a witch house!
In 2021, by special request, I built a replica of the Sanderson Sister House from Hocus Pocus. This movie has been a family favorite, and my daughter asked if we could do a Hocus Pocus theme this year. Every weekend since the 4th of July, and most week nights have been spent working to make it a reality.
Look at what I built two years ago.
Starting during 2020 lock downs, I was inspired to build my most ambitious project yet, a haunted hotel facade. This featured a candy delivery system for social distancing, and it was fun too. The hotel had a drain spout with a green glow. When children knocked and said Trick or Treat, candy would drop into their bags.
