Halloween is definitely one of the favorites for TC demonstrations.
I did a short "show" for my family last Halloween with my mini coil (4.5" dia. secondary). Not the best video but here's a demo:

My laptop recently died and lost all my firmware, so this coil is currently dead. No TC music this Halloween, unfortunately...
