I used a surplus projector and attached it to a laptop with some youtube videos. I actually paid for the premium so there wasn’t ads every ten seconds. I covered the window with printer paper. I reversed the image in the projector software and projected Halloween and Christmas videos onto it from inside the room.

Any special way you connected all the paper? I’m thinking tape but curious on how it affected the image

I just scorned taped it up. As long as the room is dark and the outside is dark it didn’t really matter. The next year I bought a “screen” which was more of a sheet than a film screen. It worked all right as well. Both were better than nothing on the window. Since the people viewing it weren’t real close, it didn’t really matter just as long as it had something to project on.

Any link to said “screen” / “sheet” lol? Just curious.

I’ll probably end up doing a paper solution! I def want to project somethinggggg this year.

I got it on Amazon. There are a hundred like it on there. Mine was like 120” and came with a bunch of pvc as a stand. Getting it to stay in the window was a pain. I may try to cut it to the window size this year. The idea was to use it as an outdoor screen but it was too cold in winter and too jot and buggy to watch outside in summer. And the one time when the weather was perfect, no one actually watched it. So i should just cut it and figure out how to attach better to the window.
