Lately I've found myself planning a haunted attraction. One of those pie in the sky things. I think I'll blame Eric from Haunted Overload. He proved that a haunted attraction doesn't have to be packed with animatronic movements and blasts from compressed cylinders. It's all about detail and atmosphere. So the question I keep asking is - can a haunted attraction be totally static, with no movement whatsoever except for fog and flickering candles. No actors, no startling scares, just creep factor. Would visitors feel cheated? Would they throw rotten fruit at me?
One of the scenes in my display would be a massive wall-t0-wall floor-to-ceiling crypt/catacomb/ossuary. Very narrow, very dark, and very long. Corpses and smashed coffins, some tree roots, and darkness.
Sorta like this beautiful photo from Opacity.us, but vile and dank.
It'll probably never happen, but it's fun planning it in my head.
