PHOTOS: See inside Aurora shooter James Holmes booby-apartment 'Gunpowder, fuse and jars of bullets'.....

Holmes was sentenced to life in prison last month for the shooting which killed twelve in the Denver suburb of Aurora three years ago

Newly-released photos and video offer a chilling look into the booby-trapped apartment of Aurora movie theater shooter James Holmes.

The photos were taken after Holmes opened fire and killed 12 people during a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises at a suburban Denver, Colorado movie theater in July 2012.
After arresting Holmes, the 27-year-old revealed to police that his nearby apartment was rigged with explosive and incendiaries intended to kill anyone who opened the front door.

New pictures have been released showing the scene police found inside James Holmes' apartment after the Aurora theater shooting 

The photos show the floor of Holmes' home littered with a complex tangle of home-made bombs, gunpowder and incendiaries - tied together with fuse chords

White gunpowder is seen above scattered on the floor, designed to catch fire and help the rest of the explosives catch fire and explode

Liter bottles filled with gasoline and gunpowder are spread out along the floor and would further accelerate the flames when they caught fire

The flames would cause the fuses to catch fire and detonate the more than 15 spherical bombs gathered in the center of the floor in the living room 

Also triggered would be the pickle jars filled with napalm and bullets. Once ignited, the bullets would should out in all directions, tearing through the apartment 

Holmes had a Batman mask hanging up behind his TV, a dark object considering he chose to attack a midnight screening of the Batman film The Dark Knight Rises

Among some of the explosives are pickle jars packed with napalm and bullets that would have exploded and torn through the apartment when exposed to heat

Holmes' used a mortar and pestle in his dark plans. The substances inside the mixing bowl appear to be ground up black gun powder
