So, to come up with something a little different, I decided that my pumpkin would be a portable "Pepper's Ghost" and since I had a Rpi zero with aa adafruit screen hat just sitting around from a tiara I built for Defcon 25, (https://hackaday.io/project/21086-dc-25-tc-2) I didn't have to worry about trying to get any new parts. and I could import the mini CRT from the tiara and not have to design that part of the build.
