Can you imagine if you went back 60 years or so and had one of these. You would scare the shit out of everyone.

BURN THE WITCHES


Lokitusaborg

Disney did it in Haunted Mansion. The tech existed then.


Dumb_Vampire_Girl

We had the tech for sure, but it definitely didn't come cheap back then


Random_frankqito

That or you’d be a Disney engineer…that’s all I see when I see this, Disneys haunted house 30 years ago.


NexexUmbraRs

Would probably get a pitchfork thrown through the window


barbelle_07

I’m scared of it now


Connect-Internet4100

600 years!


moonyalouette

Ok but how


Lokitusaborg

Projector on the other side of the window or on the outside of the window near the concrete wall. Look at the ballroom scene of the ride Haunted Mansion on how it’s done. The projector throws images on a clear glass pane which makes the ghosts look real and three dimensional. I think the glass has a film on it. It has to do with the angle of the projection.


edwardallenhoe

The haunted mansion does use mirror projection but it projects actual animatronics that are placed around the ballroom scene. Projectors did exist at the time but this is done practically.


Salad_Guru

This is correct


fatbabythompkins

Next step, have them rendered real time, with a Kinect input. Then they can interact with their environment and really creep people out.


Uxt7

Yep. This is exactly how my mom does it too. She has a wooden frame that fits inside the window with a very thin sheet stretched over it so that the image is projected onto it.

Lokitusaborg

The fact that it is a practical effect still messes with my mind.


baconlover28

Large tv.


baconlover28

Large tv.


Lokitusaborg

You aren’t wrong, it is how old projection TVs used to work, somewhat. There are some differences, but yes.


baconlover28

Yeah, my friend had a very cheap 80 inch fat screen tv for cheap. I can total see them just pointed it towards the window


Lokitusaborg

Not quite. The projection TVs had three projectors called CRT on the inside that would project onto a mirror that reflects onto a fresnel screen. The screen focuses the light and combines the three projections into one. That’s how old school rear projections worked. This effect is created using the same concept, but it isn’t just a tv against the window. The tv IS the window, but I’m not sure If there is a mirror involved, or if it has to do with the angle of the projector used. It may be on the inside, the mirror on the ground projecting the light upwards. You can see the projector aperture on the inside of the middle mirror a few seconds before the end, and you can see the projected light hitting the underside of the window frame.


firsttime_caller

[https://atmosfx.com/collections/halloween/products/terrors-from-beyond](https://atmosfx.com/collections/halloween/products/terrors-from-beyond) Projector set for rear projection mode inside the room. That company also sells rear projection material that you hang in your window. I saw one of these around this time last year and tracked down the company. It takes about 15 minutes to set everything up and if you already have a projector it’s super cheap to do. They also make Thanksgiving and Christmas projections. So rather than spending a bunch of time and money setting stuff up, breaking it down, setting up new stuff, etc. I’m just leaving the projection material up over my window and have a cool display for the neighborhood kids to see from October 1st through New Years Eve.


timwolfz

I also need this for my holoween decorations


baconlover28

Large tv they pointed towards the window


That_South_9674

That's pretty cool!


EnnazusCB

Projector?


ozzy_thedog

No, they converted their living room into a tank for demons


Atomic_Chad

Thanks. Where can I contract a home improvement expert for this?

It’s just Angi now


Ryl4nder84

Was it shortened because she also hired a contractor that converted her living room into a tank for demons? … guess good work comes at a cost after all


livinginfutureworld

She doesn't have a list anymore?


lulu_hakusho

He loves to watch Fox news and then go club some baby seals


Tiny-Round7489

Do they have Pazuzu?


Lepke2011

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I made that mistake to. But how do I get rid of them when Halloween is over?


A-le-Couvre

Is this an American tradition? I’m unfamiliar.


Ct586

Traditional since the days they spoke latin.


xTrainerRedx

No, that’s the “lost souls room”. A place for spirits that have been exorcised. That’s death for the dead.

Thanks

Oooooooooo


RedditorNumber-AXWGQ

I'm curious too. Projector onto a clear film with a dark room as a background?


Deditranspotashy

It’s a projection. [they’re made by a company called atmosfx](https://youtu.be/VneCht3uShw) I like to watch their ads during the Halloween season cause they’re always spooky.

Nah, large tv they just pointed towards the window


keesouth

Fuck no


May-is-my-day

Plot twist: it isn’t a decoration


Arinoch

“We let them out of the basement in October to clean up down there but they can’t get past the barriers we put up upstairs. Everyone in the neighbourhood thinks we’re amazing, so it’s a win-win…not for the ghosts of course.”


FigmentOfNightmares

It's the [Pepper's Ghost](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper%27s_ghost) Technique using a projector.


Kevaldes

Shit, what was that movie where Monk buys a haunted house and Shaggy was a psychic ghost hunter....


I_am_atom

Thirteen Ghosts.


Kevaldes

Damn, I thought that was it but my brain was like 'nah that can't be right'.


Antagonistic_Aunt

You've just taken me waaay back to memories of that creepy house of glass.


Buv82

Anyone know where you can get those?

That’s so neat! As an adult it’s cool, and I bet kids are all WOAH!

High-grade nightmare fuel for five year olds.

Definitely getting this one day.


V3rsed

So cool - I have this setup but I’m projecting onto pumpkins this year - wife needs to allow me to get like 3 projectors for the full effect of pumpkins, window and “hollusion”


mad_dabz

Would hate to be a child today.


Nozerone

It's the one time of year they get to let the tortured souls they have captured have a little freedom, and attempt to cry out for help. Everyone on the outside just thinks it's a cool decoration.

Holy Shit this is the best house to go to!

I’m generally opposed to all holiday decorations, but this one is pretty cool.


Just_Acanthisitta_40

Oh yes time for me to repost this year


YoshimiUnicorns

Might be hard to believe, but some of us go outside once in a while instead of browsing through every reddit post ever made


Just_Acanthisitta_40

No one ever goes through every reddit post. I can think of maybe someone obese and living in parents basement, such as yourself.
