How to Make a Terrifying Old Couples Bedroom.

This is a haunted house room idea that I came up with. You can use it if you wish. I put as much detail as possible in the instuctions and I made it clear as possible. If you have any questions at all about this, please message me. This is called The Old Couples Bedroom. It's not for a haunted house that's just for kids. This room will take a bit more work than normal. But in the end it will be helpful. In the steps, I'll explain different things you can use and how it all goes together.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 2 people for the old couple (male and female)
• 1 person for the victim (opional)
• 1 table lamp
• Small end table
• 1 mattress (or entire bed)
• Fake blood (lots)
• BLOOD Red Spray Paint
• Rocking chair
• Meat Cleaver (not the glow in the dark type)
• Broken Doll
• Tattered Blanket
• Knitting needle (PLASTIC)
• Spirit Glue and remover (posthetic glue and remover)
• Gashes, cuts, ripped face prosthetics
• A flowery dress (you will have to put blood on it)
• A pair of old brown tattered pants
• A plaid button up shirt (you will have to put blood on it as well)
• Spider Webs
• Tattered sheets (you will have to put blood on it too)

1. What I see in my mind. Do it as you wish though. When setting up this room you want to make sure the bed is to the side of the room and the rocking chair across from it in a corner. It helps to put both in a corner of the room. That way you leave enough room for the guests to get right in the middle of the scene. As shown in the picture. Put the desk lamp beside of the rocking chair. Not beside of the bed near the exit. Doing this, you make sure the guests won't knock it over. (the red line will be explained in the last step)
2. Cover most of the bed in fake blood. Or spray paint. Some fake blood turns brown after it dries. I use spray paint here. But for those highly into fake blood, go for it. Put the blood in puddles and even use your hands to make it even more messy. Make hand prints and drag your hands over the bed to give it more of an effect (WEAR GLOVES). If you have decided you want someone in the bed as a victim, make sure the paint is dry before they get in the bed... If its fake blood, it won't bother them, because they will need fake blood on them anyway. (face, arms, body). But make sure the victim is wearing clothing that you can put fake blood on.
3. You also need to put fake blood or spray paint on the blanket the old lady will be knitting. Not a lot though. Don't try to cover the entire thing. Just in SMALL patches.
4. Add the spider webs around the room to make it look old. Just not over the lamp... If you do, you start a fire for those wondering "Why not the lamp?". Try not to glob the spider webs. Thin them out and spread them everywhere. Corners of the room, top of the room, etc.
5. Now for the make up. You need prosthetics for their faces. You can get the prosthetics at Spencers or online. Either one... Find where you want the wounds to be (above their eyes, across their face, etc.) Then add the make up and fake blood. (Not going into a lot of detail here.) Get the actors into their costumes. Put fake blood on them. Same for the victim. Be creative on how you apply it.
6. The old lady goes in the rocking chair with the tattered doll, and blanket she will be pretending to nit. She starts talking to the guests as they enter, but she keeps her head down while she knits. When the guests get closer to her, she raises her head and reveals the massive wounds on her face. She needs to say something like "You never call anymore. It's like you have completely forgotten we exist." She doesn't stand, nor scream nor anything like that. She just sits there and knitts all calm.
7. (IF YOU HAVE A VICTIM) As soon as the guests enter, this person needs to start whispering in an exhausted voice. You don't need them going insane and screaming. I've never seen a half dead person going into fits of rage and fear. You need them to try to drag themselves, while whispering and moaning, towards the group.
8. Old man stands just outside the room near the exit of the that room. He will have the meat cleaver. When the guests gets near him, he will enter and start swinging the meat cleaver. You need to give the old lady something to say that will cue him to enter. This way, he doesn't enter at the wrong moment. When he swings the meat cleaver, he needs to act like he is extremely weak. He will also need to miss them every time. Maybe even have him slightly "fall" onto the bed. He also needs something to say when he enters. Maybe "We want you to come home and stay with us". You will need a guide for this, to keep the group from walking or running dead into the old man and getting hit by the meat cleaver. When the old man "falls" slightly on the bed, the guide needs to lead them outta the room. Getting out the room quick won't be a problem. That, I promise. The groups will be screaming to get out.
   
   The red line, in the picture I placed for step one, is just about where the old man needs to make his way into the room. This way the guests don't run dead into him and he can NOT hit them with the meat cleaver.

Tips & Warnings

• For the lamp: If you can't find a dim enough light, cover the shade of the lamp in a thin cloth. Glue it to the lamp shade. Or you can just paint a very VERY thin coat of brown paint over the lamp shade. Be creative.
• Incase you didn't get this already, make sure the old lady can rock back and forth without knocking over the lamp or hitting the wall. You also want to make sure there is enough room between her and the bed so that the groups can pass through easily.
• Be creative. Add skulls, bones, or anything you can think of that would be in a room like this. Mirror, dresser, books, candles, etc.
• If you wish, use the spray paint on the walls. Let it drip down them for a good effect.
• Make sure there is NOTHING in the floor to slip on. No fake blood nor anything like that.
