Ok so i currently have an empty very large fish tank in my living room...that someoen was suppose to take away a few weeks ago that i am now losing faith in....seeing how it is somewhat stuck where it is until this guy picks it up im trying to think of what i can do with it for halloween if it still there

ohhhh floating dead body? like in a mad scientist lab?

pad it out and make a glass coffin (snow white dummy would be cool but with worms and stuff coming outta her nose)

fill it out with cobwebs and spiders and then a larger spider for a 'spiders lair?'

a model of a snake with a fake hand, because its a tank, trick or treaters will think its real.

floating pumpkin (would be good with the ship pattern ZP does)

dunno any of these helpful? :D

the glass coffin would be sweet.
u could get some "killer fish" or some freaky little seacreature to place in it

im thinking something slimey and glowing just not sure what yet live fish are out since the pump is blown, (hence why no more fishes) it's a 4 footer so not quite big enough for the coffin my 8 footer would be but that's stuck in my parents basement full of koi by Halloween...im enjoying the snake idea i was also think floating body parts in jello sludge?

thats a good idea! and you know you said you make baggies up.... you could have them at the bottom and the treaters have got to fish them out (past the snake and body parts). the baggies in the jelly could be toys etc and sweets could be still handed out at the door (that way if they dont want to try they still get something). you'd need a towel handy though lol

heehee, if they dont want to mess up their make-up you can blindfold them and get them to root around...

Then have it slightly ajar with no snake in it.
