How to Set Up Dead Characters for Haunted House

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Villag, I'm going to show you how to set up a haunted house. The third popular fright tactic is mixing in real live people in with fake dead ones that you have strung around the house. I have seen it is very popular to have. I'm mean literally four or five bodies worth of stuff newspaper with corn syrup. It does not take that long to assemble actually, especially you have some helpers. You string these people on the ground maybe even up on a platform and then you have a couple of real actors who are dressed exactly the same way. You wait to people are walking by and then suddenly you know a arm or a leg or a they sit up. It would get people a nice fright and if you do it well, they would not be able to tell which body is a live verses just a stuff corpse on the floor. So this is a nice effect that you can get which would effect different people differently because some of them would be expecting it cause one or two of these people have to be alive. So some of them would see it coming, which in this case is actually not bad. Because they still don't know exactly if any is the actual alive one or two. In addition you can also have some set up in previous rooms where you have just fake corpse lying around that are not alive. So when they finally see our last room they are like ya, this is the fifth time that I have seen this. There is no worries so which would add to a extra jump when one of the corpses actually gets up.
