Thread: SHOCKING electric chair costume

Tweet

I would like to be an electric chair for Halloween. Yes, the chair itself.

I think I can pull together the chair, straps, head gear part, but I'm open to any suggestions. I'd REALLY like to be able to SHOCK willing participants and I'm looking for ideas how to do so.

The old magic trick w/ the hand buzzer comes to mind, but I'd like to give someone a small zap with my hands.

Thanks for your help!

I can't help ya, but what a great idea!!!! I'm having enough problems making my electric chair guy even move lol!!!!

I would post this in the props section for help. There are a lot of people there that could probably give you a safe and easy way to give people a small jolt.

Since you are only doing this to willing participants, there are a couple of ways. You could build up a static charge on yourself or there are novelty lighters and pens that give shocks.

There is also the method used for the Uncle Fester shock test arcade game, which I believe used rapidly vibrating hand grips to simulate electrocution.

Here's a link to a pic of mine I did last year.
