Halloween, 2021, finds some venues opening as the pandemic numbers decline.


But a number of us are still self-isolating. out of an abundance of caution.


If you’d like your Halloween to be a “remote” fun one, here are three creative luminaries with ideas for you!


Enjoy these insights from BL4KM4SS co-founder Reyna Velarde, legendary professional haunter Shar Mayer and maker/technologist/educator Mitchell Malpartida, who is the founder of Masterful Creations STEAM Academy, as they share their creative perspectives on creating cool Halloween effects!


On this edition of Over Coffee®, we cover:
  • How to create scary effects remotely, using technology you probably already have (courtesy of Reyna Velarde);
  • How to “create a monster” through makeup, using something you may already have at home (courtesy of Shar Mayer);
  • And, how to craft fun Halloween scenes and props using 3D printing and elementary robotics, as Mitchell Malpartida explains!

Have a very happy, safe and creative Halloween!
