Halloween is that glorious time of that year when some people go all out to transform their houses into “ghoulish dens.”

Yes. It may be a vomit-inducing experience when you see the Halloween aisle at your local big box store … in the middle of August. And those plastic, store-bought decorations are anything but “spooky.”

Thankfully, DIY-centric redditors have shown us that Halloween doesn’t have to be just another commodity for stores to pimp out. It’s All Hallow’s Eve! The most badass of holidays. And it deserves some genuine artistic love.

One such creative Reddit user, the aptly named RetroHacker, transformed his garage into a monster—with glowing eyes—from something that most people would have chucked in the trash by now: vintage television sets.

You see, one man’s junk really is another man’s treasure. RetroHacker collects and repairs vintage electronic equipment like video game consoles, televisions, and old computer systems from the ’80s to ’00s (and omg how did computers from the early ’00s become “old” so fast?).

First step: Don’t throw out your 1980s TV. (Or go find one somewhere.)

Next step: Utilize those craft-making skills you learned in elementary school. Cut out “monster eyes” on some cardboard and adhere them over the television screens.

Final step: Close your garage door and turn on the damn TVs.
