Goblin & Slasher
Ever thought about pulling a prank that feels straight out of a horror flick? I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve.
Yeah, I’ve got a few of those. Picture a fog machine in a dark hallway, a sudden flicker, then a silhouette that’s not really there. Got any particular idea you want to try out?
How about swapping the hallway’s light bulbs with some that pulse red—so the flicker looks like a heartbeat? Then toss a realistic, yet slightly translucent, mannequin over the corner, so when the lights go out, it’s only the glow that moves. It’ll make them think the hallway’s alive, and you’ll have the biggest grin in the room when they scramble for the flashlight.
That’s a killer set‑up, just make sure the red bulbs are the right hue—too orange and the heartbeat will look like a fire alarm. And pick a mannequin that’s just translucent enough that people think it’s actually moving, not just a bad prop. Keep a spare flashlight handy for the audience’s good side; you’ll want them running, not running from a flashlight that flickers back at them. Have fun, but don’t forget to get permission before you turn the hallway into a scene from a nightmare.
Sounds slick—just remember the ghost can’t see the plan, but we’ll give it a head start. Cheers to a hallway that screams “I’m alive” while you’re the mastermind behind the curtain!
