What Do You Want To See?

[Chris]

New topic, what do you want to see in a haunted house that you haven't seen yet, or maybe have seen somewhere else, but not in Denver.

[Luv2BScared]

I have seen something that looks like this, but never really pushes the envelope:

My biggest fear is being trapped. I would like to see a set that would lead guests into a room, and sudenly they are locked in with no way out. Give them some false escapes, i.e., fireplace, closet, bookcase, etc. Make them really participate in the haunt by trying the doors, looking for a way out. Finding a way to control timing with something like this would be very challenging. I have seen it half done, just when you get the idea you're stuck they let you off the hook. I wanna be scared, and left to my own devices to get out. A nice blackout while trying to escape would be awesome.

Also, having to crawl or squeeze my way through an area in the dark is awsome. It's been done, but never long enough. If while crawling through a long dark tunnel you suddenly feel a slight brush against you, or something ruffles your hair...that's scary as hell for me! You already feel very vunerable because you are in the dark, you aren't on your feet, and there's no real way to defend yourself if you needed to, and NOW something just touched you, or was breathing on you in there and there's nowhere to go. That gets me going BIG TIME!!!

[Hellraiser15]

I agree with l2bs. I like being trapped. One thing i love but i dont think is used enough in a haunted house is crawling and claustrapobia. I LOVE crawling through a tight space in a haunted house. That really freaks me out and I wish More places would use that tactic.

[Skelterbet]

My favorite thing about going to Haunts is watching the people around me scream and run when they get scared. Yeah...I'm that guy who points the monster towards the person most likely to be scared. Haunts are so much more fun when you are in a group of screamers. So, in a way, what I want to see is more of the same type of stuff we already have. So many people are screamers that I can be entertained almost all of the time.

However, if you wanted to build a Haunt Experience that could scare me? Hmmm.....I think that would be cool. I don't tend to get scared at Haunts as they are today (they rely on the startle effect, which I find more annoying than frightening). I'm not sure what would work, but I have some ideas.

Isolation is a great way to scare people. The Haunt would need to send people in one at a time or maybe a pair at a time at the most. That would probably be a good start to unnerve me.

Then the Haunt would need to have a stellar set - it must suspend my disbelief and make me feel like I am actually in the place the Haunt purports to be (an asylum, a crypt, an old Victorian haunted house, etc.). Strange to say, but having sound buffers would be a benefit. Imagine walking alone down the hallway of an abandoned hospital and hearing your footsteps echo because it is so quiet. That would definitely continue to unnerve me.

Stephen King wrote an introduction to one of his story collections (I think it was Night Shift) where he describes how you see the body on the gurney covered by the sheet and you know that, as much as you don't want to, you are going to have to lift the corner of the sheet and touch the body. This has stuck with me for the last 25 years or so since I read it. Bodies don't bother me at all, but what Stephen King is describing is taking something that scares you and putting you in a situation where you have to approach it whether you want to or not. That, combined with the rest, would be a great way to scare me.

I don't think a Haunt would ever go to these lengths, but I think it would be cool.

[WelchWitch]

God, this year is going sooooo quick, soon we will look and it will be Halloween again. I agree Skelterbet, I think the best one is the one that messes with the mind and is more real. One of the things that I think about in movies, is when people find this inner strength to get through what ever the have too to survive and I have to wonder if I could do it. I had said last year or year before, that my ideal haunt would be a mind haunt. Where you go into a room and there would be a way for your mind to be read and then that room would turn into getting pass that fear. Of course, you wouldn't be in danger for real, but enough to freak out your mind. My luck though, I would try hard not to think and be like in Ghost Busters and think of the StayPuff guy and then that would turn into my fear that I had to face.

[Skelterbet]

Hee hee hee! The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is excellent!

Imagine a Haunt that takes things that people love, and then makes them horrible monsters. I love it! The Chocolate Death Haunt would rock!

Better yet - Animal Asylum - for crazy psycho-killer kitties and puppies!

[Luv2BScared]

The chocolate death haunt would get me!! I eat/drink chocolate al day, every day!

I would like to see a haunt based on the seven deadly sins....twisted and deranged sets showing how a person's demise started with the sin, like greed and the scene evolves into their inevitable death.

Have you seen the movie "Seven"? Final scenes similar to those in the movie, but there has to be a fearful and disturbing buildup.

[Luv2BScared]

That's it? That's all we as a combined group want to see in a haunt? Wow, we're easy to please.

If we all pulled together and created the perfect haunt what would it be like? What would we call it? Everyone gets to have their own section, what would yours have????

[ghia71]

Wow...I like the Animal Asylum!!! I LOVE kitties..that would freak me the hell out!!

I have found out that seperation in total darkness scares the piss out of me....the anticipation of what might be lurking...my imagination running wild...the sounds of breathing...some undescribable slurpy mushy sound in my ear....something brushing against me as I get more and more frantic to find a pinprick of light...fumbling in vain to find my group...And the reason that scares me I think, is if you are the only one, there is no one else for the boogey man to get but you...

I am a hard one to scare...I get so lost in the atmosphere sometimes that the performers or props dont scare me so much as draw me in...If a haunt that draws me into the fantasy like that can then smack me upside the head from the blindside and engage my flight response, or make me flinch, crouch or jump...that would be golden!

Or something that starts by drawing me in and then makes me flee INTO the totall blackness.......OoooOOOOooo....THAT would get me good!

[case.file]

I cant wate for the 2008 hunt seasion to kick off im hoping to see some cool stuff this year that will rock my socks off http://www.octoberlounge.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif yeee haa boys and girls

[Hellraiser15]

yeahhh...Too bad its still 8 months away.

[Luv2BScared]

So what would your perfect haunt scene look like???

Mine? Dark, small cramped space that has to be crawled through...for quite a way, not 10 feet. The sound of breathing in that space with me...something or is that someone brushing their cold, dead hand across my cheek..hearing the sound or rats, scratching, clawing their way around in the dark with me..

[Hellraiser15]

oh that sounds creepy. I love having to crawl in haunts but i feel its not utilized enough

[ghia71]

OOOOooooo....there was one room in a haunt this past year that i really liked. It would be cool to see someone really bring that idea to serious culmination...IDK what it would take to amp it up (I am not a designer) but it was ALL fog...and hazey white/grey...Being dissoriented and unable to see the walls and floors, my group, or even my own hands in front of my face is the most effective way to scare the pants off me! Then they had what seemed like 20 actors just hiding in the fog that would fade in and out of view...more of that with no noises except my own breathing and screams would put me ovr the edge...

Just had another thought...a wall of roaches..like a cloth or something covered with plastic roaches that I had to push thru or past might stop me in my tracks...I absolutely LOATHE the little buggers....*shivres down spine* ...iTHAT would get me going too!

I know that room..it was effective but for me felt almost too drawn out..too much fog and I can&#39;t find my way around gets on my nerves pretty quick..

Plastic roaches? I have a brilliant idea for that!!! (not saying!)

[Skelterbet]

Something that would cause Phobic-Scale Panic responses would be cool.

People tend to be scared of certain things like Spiders or Snakes. Imagine a giant-sized Black Widow dropping on to a group. Or maybe a hybrid Spider/Human (no, not like Spiderman - something much more gruesome and sinister). If you want to truly scare people, this would be the way to go.

[Luv2BScared]

Yep, spiders dropping on people do freak them out! I saw that happen a couple of times last year.

Woa!! I can see it...more like a spider was in the chamber with Dr.Brundle instead if the fly... brrrrr...shivers....and spiders don&#39;t freak me out!

[WelchWitch]

Little late to respond...........How about where you think you are being buried alive. you can see the sky then you start to lose that and have dirt coming in all around you, Maybe have the room get smaller. I saw the movie " Awake" over the weekend and that would also freak me out. But I don&#39;t know how that could be turned into a room and be felt. hmmmmm.

Is that good? It looks freaky! Yeah, the feeling that the walls are coming in on you....that would definitely ramp up the scares!!

[WelchWitch]

The movie is good I thought only in the aspect that it is one of my fears. 2 things freak me out at a hospital, 1- having a tube put down my throat if I am awake and being awake during major surgery only to feel it all and not have them notice. I shudder now as I think about it. Couple parts toward the end was like whatever, but the surgery scene got me. The only thing I could think of is you walk into a room where a person is having major bloody dirty surgery and through a projection screen you project the same person as a spirit telling you to help them that they are awake or something. Just another vision of mine to think about.

I just think that for me, I get scared at things that could happen, not at a 5 headed monster that I know could never happen. I want to see more rooms that show real scary items more then items that are make believe. Those are the haunts I go to and would spend my money on. Every day fears like bugs, snakes, being buried alive, pain, torture ( like in the movie Hostel) plane crashes, car crashes, building collapses, serial killers , crawling in small spaces- being claustrophobic, being lost in underground caves or just being lost somewhere and feeling the weight of the unknown, dark rooms where you can&#39;t see anything but to only feel someone or something coming up from behind you. All stuff like this would freak me out and bother me for days. Because you know it could happen. I would just have to bring out the scene more to bother the patron deeper down. When I was with Scream Park we had an actor as a large spider and that was always a crowd favorite. So I know bugs work.

[Luv2BScared]

I agree...things that are scary are the unknown, and things that are probable. "Silence of the lambs" was scary because people like Hannibal and Buffalo Bill exist and do those twisted things every day.

[Hellraiser15]

I like being sealed in, chased by someone coming at you and people coming out of nowhere. I love it when youre just like, " Where the F%$K did tht comefrom? Holy $#it wherd he go?" I also wish more places would utilize the chainsaw guy coming at you not running after you. The only place to scare me bigtime with a chainsaw in 07 was frightmare. They made that scenary look real. i love that.

I was bummed out about the surgery scenes...no authenticity at all. Never, ever would a heart transplant take place with 2 surgeons, a nurse, and an anesthesiologist. Never. And the operating suite itself was nothing like you would see for a transplant surgery. The producer clearly did not do their homework on this one.

[WelchWitch]

I agree and had even commented during it that they are making it seem like he is just removing an ingrown hair on his chest or something. That part didn&#39;t get me. It was when he was feeling the pain or when they where opening up his ribs and he felt it and when he was dying and how it all got dark for him. Other that that I didn&#39;t understand how on a lot of things and whatever on others. But it is a fear of a lot of people which could be cool if we could put into a scene to experience while going through a haunt.

[Luv2BScared]

It would be an awesome effect in a haunt....being trapped within your own body unable to communicate. How would it be pulled off? What could be done to make it as realistic as possible?

[Hellraiser15]

I dont thin its posslible. I dont mean to be negative I just dont think it could be done

[Luv2BScared]

I don&#39;t think you&#39;re being negative, just realistic. You could reasonably "hold" a person in a space in a haunt and give them the illusion that that can&#39;t be heard...have the actors pretend that they can&#39;t hear them. But, how do you hold a person in one place? Huge liabilities on that, plus it would hold up the haunt lines and people NEVER go in a haunt alone...you would have to split up groups. Realistically, it just can&#39;t be done.

But, could a scene be created like that using actors? I&#39;m thinking yes...you could have a taped recording of the surgical victim&#39;s "thoughts" playing while they were on the operating table....or better yet, the supposedly dead person having an autopsy performed on them, but they are alive and can&#39;t move or speak...that would be cool!!

[Hellraiser15]

Or... The same autopsy effect but an actor dressed up and bassically a look alike of the guy on the table runnig around screaming Help!

[Luv2BScared]

Twins would work perfectly for that!

[WelchWitch]

Twins would work great. Or record them and play them back through a projection machine. So the actor is laying down performing while the projection has them looking over the body talking, maybe yelling for them to get up or something. Then as guests walk through, the projection then has the spirit run towards them angry and wants them to hear them and help and when then don&#39;t help have the "spirit" hits something and it makes a loud real noise for the jump effect.

[Shade]

Those are some sweet ideas. I love it.

[Hellraiser15]

yeah...The projetion idea doesnt seem real enough for me. I would just be like, oh wow a movie!.

See now that would ROCK!! If you did it like a hologram so the "spirit" runs through the visitors then the bang and jump effect it would be amazing! Maybe the "sprit" could run out the door behind the visitors and slam it or something???

Hmmmm.....

This makes me think of the movie The Illusionist, because it had virtual holograms that ran around. An interesting thing about this movie: all of the illusions are based on real magic effects, though they all are pushed a little farther than is really possible. The hologram idea is possible; having it move through the audience? Probably not.

The only way I know of to make "Spirit" effects that a modern audience would accept is to use the Pepper&#39;s Ghost illusion (for those who don&#39;t know it, it is the way Disney creates the ghosts in the Haunted Mansion). It is definitely do-able, though, at the necessary scale in question, it is probably costs-prohibitive.

At the end of the 19th century they had an effect called "Phantasmagoria", which was essentially projected images onto a scrim backdrop. Audiences of the day thought they were seeing real spirits. Today it would look like a corny slide show. Pepper&#39;s Ghost, on the other hand, was the rage when it appeared a few years later.

[Luv2BScared]

Pepper&#39;s Ghost was exactly what I was thinking of when I said hologram ghosts...The question would be can it be pulled off in a smaller set like the haunts we have here in town?

[Shade]

Frightmare had a Pepper&#39;s Ghost for years. It was cool.

[Luv2BScared]

I remember that! It was very cool! I would love to see more of those in haunts.

[Shade]

What makes me feel old is that while I personally would think a pepper&#39;s ghost in a haunt is cool, I wonder if the vast majority of the younger, cooler hauntgoing crowd these days would think it was cool or dorky. I wonder if you could do a pepper&#39;s ghost but with some sort of modern spin...

[Luv2BScared]

I think you could...what sort of spin did you have in mind?

[Skelterbet]

Would younger audiences like a Pepper&#39;s Ghost illusion? I think they would - it is old but it has not been in vogue for a long time, so most younger people have not seen it (or at least, haven&#39;t seen it anywhere other than Disneyland-and they probably like it there). I&#39;m curious, what did Frightmare do with it? Was it the old "watch the lady turn into a skeleton before your eyes" type? I think modern audiences wouldn&#39;t like that very much, but if you were to have an interactive element or a moving illusion (or both), they&#39;d like it a lot.

I think the Pepper&#39;s Ghost illusion can easily be pulled off, the real question is the scale of the illusion. I have not seen Frightmare ever, so I&#39;m not sure how big their illusion was.

When I was a kid I used to see the illusion performed in side-shows at carnivals. It was usually either "watch the lady turn into a gorilla" or "watch the lady turn into a skeleton" or some variation on those. Those were small effects; the &#39;gimmick&#39; being level with the audience at an angle. The Haunted Mansion is a large effect with the &#39;gimmick&#39; being both above and below the audience. The issue to effectively do this is largely an issue of space and equipment.

When I say &#39;gimmick&#39; I mean how the illusion is performed; if you want to know how it is performed you need to research it yourself (it is available on the internet). I don&#39;t want to ruin anyone&#39;s illusions (and I hope no one else here does either).

If you went to Spider Mansion last year..you would of realized this idea has already been tried. :]
But due to typical inexpirenced jocks working this spot mostly (haha), it was done poorly in my eyes. Yet this was one of my favorite spots to run when I worked there. The idea of it, was you were walking down a hallway with plenty of eye candy, and up above this huge black spider on a rope was hanging. Either people didnt notice it or thought it was just some insignificant, but on the first two people of the group the spider would be dropped and hit them..gently head on, making the group come to a short hault. Directly on the wall next to the spider there was a mirror that would pull open and the actor could get close to the whole group. When I ran it, I think every group that went through got decently scared, or just tripped over each other, which was extremly funny. Oh well..I guess it was just a spot where you had to know how to run it to get a scare and produce the full effect. :]

[Luv2BScared]

I agree. I&#39;ve been through Spider Mansion numerous times and have seen the effect you&#39;re talking about. it is all about timing. I have seen the spider drop and it was very well timed producing the desired effect. I have also seen the bad timing drop which produced little or no effect at all.
That happens at every haunt though and it is difficult to get the timing perfect everytime as it is hard to predict what the guests will do, which will affect timing.
Actors can only do so much in a haunt, the rest is up to chance. Haunts are live shows, you never know what you will get. That&#39;s one thing that I like about them, the unpredictability.

I think people tend to be more afraid of spiders, bugs, etc. when they feel they may be covered in them. Think Fear Factor when contestants have to lay down in a plexiglass box and be covered in bugs, rats, snakes, etc.
Could that be pulled off in a haunt? Probably not due to liability issues. What could be done to induce that fear without going to that exteme?

The Sick and Twisted Zone dropped what I would have almost sworn were live earthworms on us when we went through. I saw the stuff they used later at a tradeshow. You get &#39;em wet and they feel just like the real thing. It was brilliant.[/b]
YEAH, kay that would make me "poop a little" !!!!! Worms don&#39;t scare me, but having slimy things dropped on me in the dark would make me scream GOOD!

It was effective! And since the worms were on the floor it felt really weird walking on them...gave you that sense of instability...it was really cool!

you know the one thing we talked about how to make like a curtain or &#39;wall&#39; of them that you had to walk through....like a whole room filled with those and maybe you could rig them on a pulley type system so they could be moved up and down or side to side, every other &#39;wall&#39; in the oposite direction ???????????????????[/b]

I had another thought about this....what if the bugs were attached to clear plastic sheeting, it&#39;s hung on the wall and air is blown in between the wall and the plastic sheeting to make it ripple and wave. Would that, with the right lighting give the illusion that the bugs were moving???
