Instructables user randofo wanted something really special in front of his house this Halloween, so he decided his jack-o-lantern should breathe fire when activated by remote control. He says, and we agree, that you absolutely shouldn't make this, but it'll definitely be the talk of the neighborhood on any doorstep if the trick-or-treaters see it on Halloween night.
Again, it's worth saying that making something like this is extremely dangerous and should not be tried at home. Randofo used a Squidbee remote transmitter and receiver, a small can of WD-40 as accelerant (used in short bursts,) a tea light as a pilot light, and all of the components required for the remote trigger and to start and stop the flow of of WD-40 to the tea light. It's definitely a fun watch, and Randofo does walk you through the steps required to build it, but it's definitely too dangerous for the average pumpkin carver. It's still impressive to watch, though.
