She loves Halloween. Loves. A lot. After mowing the yard I typically sit on the porch and cool off with a beer which is where the main display usually is. So, sometimes I see piece of the furniture or whatever and something pops in my brain b/c that's how it works. So we've got a couple of those 5' skeleton dudes you can pose in different positions. I thought it would be fun to put one in a chair up in the dark on the patio and give him a cigar with an orange or red LED stuck in the end. Look cool and creepy. But I said IED, so yeah, that would be bad.

How about an IUD?

Improvised explosive device?

Could have been worse. You could have said IUD.

An IED is just a delayed IUD

Imagine the savings on candy when the first trick or treaters are launched by the explosion. /S Flickering LED is pretty simple to do. Adding a light inside the chest which "breathes" or "heartbeats" would also work.

Mini fog machine

We have this. Fantastic placement under the bushes blowing out into the graveyard. Obscures just enough of all the good stuff.

I have a fog machine that we put inside a plastic "witches' cauldron" with a string of xmas lights. Most kids are more curious about it than scared.
