How to make it

    Put the sheet back on and the sunglasses over the holes.

  4. 4

    Hold the lollipop in your hand and walk slowly.

Make it better

Questions

Can I see through it?

Cut the holes a little bigger than you think, and test before you go outside.

Wear it in front of your own haunted CCTV

Upload four photos of your house and Cursed Cam turns them into a night-time security monitor where something is very wrong. Put it on the TV by the door.
