cedd Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 One thing the producers of this event need to bear in mind is that actors can get hurt doing this kind of thing. A couple of years ago on the Halloween event one of our cast ran up to the side of a train and did a scare - nothing more involved than running out of the dark and screaming. One passenger was caught off guard by this, screamed and punched him. When you get people on edge in a situation like this, even if they know it's all false, instincts can kick in and they can fight back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birt Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 -fluorescent light starter in series with a light bulb makes a good flickering light source. -jumping from a tree/wall/whatever just when someone passed under you is great.-don't forget smells. think of whatever smell makes you feel uneasy and use that. especially in combination with an airzooka.-if it's outside put a strong waterbag under the soil so it feels like the ground is moving when you step on it. or make them so that in some places the water will spray up when they step on it.-a used baxter from a hospital is very good to have controlled dripping of water on a single spot. you can make it go as fast or slow as you want. if you mix UV ink in it and hide some blacklights a bit further on the way it can scare others who suddenly see their friend light up.-fake bats are so silly when you see them in the light but when there is no light they are quite scary. same goes for spiders. but they should be gone again right after the scare.-a moist chamois falling down in a group of people works great.-pairs of scary eyes lighting up all around at various times. (red LED's can work for this)-cheap african style masks are hard to see when you hang them in trees. until you shine some light on them. (from the bottom up or from behind)-pieces of wood that blend in but resemble a person or animal with a flash of backlight.-a piece of stretched plastic wrap can be almost invisible until you run in to it.-a chainsaw (without chain, duh :P)-a rolling head passing by (tumbleweed style) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that vein,one of the great AFV moments... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnDa2Zqvl6c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
