If you're an equal parts true-crime and home-renovation-show addict, then you're about to be glued to the TV, because a new show is coming called - wait for - Murder House Flip, and it's exactly how it sounds. From the executive producer of CSI, Murder House Flip is going where no one else wants to go, which is inside some of the country's most infamous murder homes.

The cast will include forensic specialists, spiritual healers, and high-end renovation experts who take on homes across the United States that found their way to fame thanks to mysterious murders and intriguing crimes committed within their four walls. Penny Dreadful's Chris King and author Katherine Ramsland will also produce. "We are thrilled to bring this one of a kind series to life and dive into a world that combines America's two biggest TV obsessions: true crime and home renovation," said Elyse Seder, SVP Alternative & Syndicated Programming of Sony Pictures Television.

As much as it's targeted toward Fixer Upper fans, the show, which will premiere on mobile-only streaming service Quibi on April 6, 2020, gets deep into the shocking secrets and scandalous stories of these homes.

This DIY Faux Wood Pumpkin Decoration Is Made Entirely From Dollar Store Products

A post shared by 𝙼𝙰𝚁𝚈 𝙳𝙾𝙽𝙴𝚃𝚂𝙺𝙾𝚅𝙰 (@marys_hobby_life) on Jul 30, 2019 at 8:32am PDT

Carving pumpkins is basically a rite of passage during the Halloween season. But if you're not into the kid-friendly activity as much as you used to be, or you live in an apartment with no front porch to display them on, decorating pumpkins is probably more your speed.

Instagram user Mary Donetskova of @marys_hobbylife revealed her cool spin on the craft - making faux wooden pumpkins - and we're obsessed! Not only is the craft inspired by the wooden pumpkins you can pick up at popular craft store Michaels, but it's also made with materials all purchased from the Dollar Tree. This means your conversation-starting decoration may just cost less than that pumpkin cream cold brew you just bought from Starbucks.

To make this spooky centerpiece, all you have to do is buy a foam craft pumpkin and adhesive covering in wood print. Next, cut off the stem of the pumpkin and use a knife to cut more pronounced ridges on the sides. Smooth out each ridge by pinching them with your fingers. Once you have done this, cover the surfaces of the pumpkin carefully with the adhesive covering, smoothing it out as you go along. Add the stem back as a final touch - you can either keep it as is or paint it a darker color. And that's it!
