Chad's Crappy Corner & his 2nd gadget in the category for October: Halloween!

And Chad's gadgets are two fog machines for the eerie, scary effect. Here’s what Spirit Halloween Company says about theirs: 

There are all kinds of ways to decorate for Halloween but undoubtedly the very coolest decor is FOG. Nothing is quite so scary and so easy to set the scene for spooky fun - fog rolling in almost begs for the howl of a werewolf, the flapping wings of a bat and the floating specter of a ghost, goblin or ghoul. Set the scene with this powerful corded remote control 1,000 watt fog machine that pumps 4-5 more fog than any other fog machine available. This is a must-have! $79.99.

Here's a fog machine from Amazon. I notice it's only 400 watts, so it's far less powerful that the one above, but it is cheaper.)

And Chad’s take: Chad loved both fog machines and said they were "a ton of fun". The larger $79.99 unit puts out a lot more fog, but Chad said he was impressed with the amount of fog the much smaller Amazon machine put out. Be aware that the fog machines on Amazon (as of 10/9/14) are only available through links to 3rd party resellers. So you have to add shipping to the $29.99 price. Either way, we Chad and I agree either machines will add a lot of fun to a party. The size machine you buy will probably be determined by the amount of space you want to fill with fog.

Jeff Needles told me the two fog machines were brought to the studio byTWiT producer Karsten Bondy... who apparently really likes to decorate for Halloween! Thanks, Karsten!
