Last year, I made a Halloween PC setup, and that was a lot of fun. However, after that was done, I spent the entire year looking forward to making the most fun Halloween themed PC I could for 2026. I hope anyone who likes PCs, Halloween, and horror enjoys this.

As far as the PC setup goes, I have the main monitor and the 5.5in display as shown. I also have a 50ft fiberoptic HDMI cable that runs from the GPU into the bottom of the wall so it’s hidden, then around to my main basement theater TV. If anyone ever wants to play games or watch content on the big screen via the PC, it’s seamless and easy.

I do run an undervolt on the GPU and an undervolt/overclock on the CPU. I also use a Raspberry Pi 5 DNS server (AdGuard Home + Unbound): sinkhole filtering, DNSSEC validation, recursive resolution, and no third-party DNS providers. I went as full nerd as possible with regard to privacy in this setup as well.

Anywho, Happy Halloween to anyone who reads this. Granted, I know we don’t need any more scares concerning PC prices or availability. (I fortunately got all the expensive PC parts right before this chaos happened and lucked out greatly.)
