Petrifying Raspberry Pi Pico projects that are sure to fright and delight. Welcome, foolish mortals, to another year of haunted hacks from Raspberry Pi Official Magazine. These brutal builds are sure to send a chill down your spine and ‘liven up’ even the putrid parties of the undead.
This year we’re focusing on the tiny Raspberry Pi Pico as the dark driver of your foul festivities – don’t be fooled by its small stature, though; it too can produce supernatural spooks to scare your gruesome guests. So start practising your programming sorcery – the witching hour awaits… Simple spooky Pico hacks At this time of year, you’re sure to find a lot of Halloween tat – excuse us – icky items of terror in your local supermarket or hardware store. Some of them may even be very cool (and very reasonably priced), but could use something… a little extra.
While there are plenty of projects with servos and sensors and HaaS (Halloween-as-a-Service, natch), the quickest way to spruce up these fiendish finds is simply with some lighting upgrades from our friends at Pimoroni.

You need to provide a Pico yourself, but programming is very easy.
