1. I think what's far more effective is
a black light illuminating a very thin ladies' scarf (as thin and light as possible) with the corners cut rounded, and a fan directly below it pointing straight up. The scarf blows around in random directions and almost seems alive. I have had that in my yard on Halloween for years and it's very effective.

4. The year after "Star Wars" came out
a techie friend dressed his kids up as Jawas: brown cloaks, black stockings over their faces, and LED "eyes" on their foreheads.

They looked just like they stepped off the set!
