Instead of highjacking Oct31man's thread about prop ideas from movies....i'd like to hear some of the ones' (ideas) you got from books!

I had one, and I wish I still had that novel because I forgot the author and title, but......I think the idea of a haunted fountain with ghostly arms and hands swirling up from the basin could be do-able.
Or even ghostly hands coming up from a well.
Keep in mind, this book pre-dated the Ring by 10 years!

Also...Brian Lumley's The Source (Necroscope series) gave me alot of set design ideas for a Haunt!
