Unfortunately we didn't get a good pictures of the finished product for our endless tunnel. This picture is when the prop was in its garage stage, when we were testing the effect. But anyway...the idea comes from the bottomless
pit a lot of haunters use. The light here is only temporary, and we
loosely draped the cloth, just to get a general idea of how it would
look. In our 2004 haunt, we used this as our Dragon's Lair for Verno.
When the Trick or Treaters first came into the haunt, they were looking
down this tunnel, with a sign next to it that says Dragons Lair. We had mirrors on either end, so the effect worked both directions. So near the end of the haunt, the trick or treaters got kind of a mind bender, when they
looked in the opposite end of the tunnel, and once again see no end. |
The
tunnel is made from a PVC frame, and pool noodles. We then add this fabric
for the tunnel walls. At this point we were temporarily placing the
cloth, just to get a basic idea of how the effet works. |
This
what our tunnel looks like from the outside. You can see the two opposing
mirrors that make give the tunnel the endless look. For most the ideas
for this prop we used WormyT's
bottomless pit. |

We
set the tunnel up about eye level, pinned the cloth in place, and added
some bones for effect. |
