How to Build a Pillow Coffin

In order to do that you need to do be at your grandmother’s house on vacations near Christmas. You will need to have a little sister that is going to obey you. Choose a room that is far away from view and close shut the door so no one can see you or your sister. A raining day outside will make this even more exciting, with the wind blowing and the thunders, now and then isolating you as if you were in a castle where a vampire would live.

The bed can be used as if was a coffin where a vampire would sleep in. Of course you’ll make your little sister the vampire since you got to arrange the place to look scary. Place pillows around your little sister and tell her to close her eyes just like in the vampire movies. She will look like a vampire with her pale face and dark red lips. Close the curtains next to the bed. The room will get so dark that only thing that will illuminate it will be a candle in your hand. I forgot to mention that you will need another four stick candles to place around the metallic bed frame at each of its post and you’ll light them up. More >
