I’m a huge Halloween fan who likes to go all out decorating my yard each year. While I have several fun spooky decorations, my favorite are my three animated pumpkins — they sing and they tell stories as trick-or-treaters go by. Their animated expressions look really good, and kids often stop to listen to their playful banter.
To pull off this fun illusion, I position three pumpkins on my porch and then hide a mini projector nearby. It shines the face animations (provided by AtmosFX) onto them. If you’d like to do this same trick, you should grab a mini projector that’s on sale for Prime Day, such as this highly-rated one that’s only $49.97 at Amazon.
It was time I replaced my old mini projector, so I just bought it myself since it was at such a good price.

More Prime Day deals and anti-Prime Day deals
We at Windows Central are scouring the internet for the best Prime Day deals and anti-Prime Day deals, but there are plenty more discounts going on now. Here’s where to find more savings:
A decoration that entertains and impresses
In case you were wondering, AtmosFX is the company that produces the Jack-O’-Lantern Jamboree animations. I personally own their first collection, but they have since released three more, so you can give your own pumpkins a larger repertoire of content if desired. Just make sure you have a good projector to pull off the effect. Of course, these Jack-O’-Lantern Jamboree animations can also just be projected onto your garage or wall if that fits your Halloween desires better.
There are a few reasons why I chose to buy the CLOKOWE Mini Projector over all of the other mini projectors that are discounted for Prime Day. First off, it has a small shape (6.74 x 5.28 x 2.96 inches) that I can hide in a pumpkin bucket (with a hole cut in it) so it doesn’t distract from my other decorations.
Secondly, this projector supplies the ports I need between the HDMI port and the USB-A port. I have a thumb drive with the animations on it that I can just plug in. Overall, the projector’s 1080 resolution and 9,000 LUX also appeal to me, since this should help the faces show up very vibrantly and crisply on my pumpkins.
Finally, having physical buttons on the projector helps me make quick tweaks or navigate through the projector menu. I also don’t have to worry about losing a separate remote because those controls are built-in.
Whatever you decide to do this spooky season, I hope you have a fun time decorating for Halloween this year. I know I’m always excited to put my pumpkins out for my neighbors to enjoy and I’m sure this new projector will help with that.
Do I need an Amazon Prime membership for these deals?
You’ll need an Amazon Prime membership for any Amazon deals marked with the red “Prime Big Deal” tag (Amazon’s offered free trial counts) on their store page, but not for any other discounts visible on the seller’s website. None of the deals from other retailers listed here require other kinds of memberships, either, though you can get benefits like free shipping with Walmart Plus, Target Circle, My Best Buy, and the like.
When does October Prime Day end?
Amazon’s October Prime Day will last until 11:59 p.m. PT on October 9, at which point the event will officially conclude.
How long will these deals last?
While it’s likely that many of the Amazon-specific “Prime Big Deals” will go offline when October Prime Day itself does, several of them might remain available for a period of time after the event’s conclusion. The same is true for discounts on other storefronts, so keep that in mind (though I don’t recommend banking on stragglers sticking around).
