Some folks today were putting old horror music soundtracks online, and I clicked on the theme from "The Exorcist." I thought, idly, that it sounded kind of like scary elevator music .
And I wondered, "Has anyone ever created a haunted elevator?"
You would have to be able to turn off the lights. One of those really fast elevators in a really tall building would be good. Someone on the roof of the elevator dropping down stuff is too clumsy, but you could create some neat effects like cobwebs rubbing across the face. I bet you could do some really scary effects. Of course, once you reach the top, it immediately starts back down again.
All in the dark. With spooky music.
I don't think you would want too many inside at a time. One would be best.
Eh, someone probably has already figured this out. Or some crazy college kids soon will. It would be a fun alternative, I think, to the haunted houses that abound. A genuine locked room, with pretty much total darkness.
I still remember being in Carlsbad Caverns on a tour as a kid when the ranger (they had people lead the tours then) had us all pull up a rock to sit on and turned out the lights. He left them off long enough for us to realize we had NO light to adjust to. I wasn't touching my parents, and it was a disorienting sensation.
Perfect for Halloween.
If some reads this and knows of a place where a haunted elevator event has occurred, I would like to know how it went.
