I was in BIG LOTS today and picked up a Flashing Red Beacon Light (you know the type, sort of like the Kmart blue light special, except red lens cover with a rotating light inside, black base...kind of like an old police car topper). Ten bucks BTW. Has electrical cord and has a 15W type T bulb. Guess I was in the Halloween mode because something said "Buy it for a prop!" I find the most interesting things at Big Lots and never know what I'll come home with.
Anyway, I was brainstorming and
...thinking I could use this in a lab setting, maybe rig it up with a motion sensor and when triggered it would start flashing. I'm thinking...Toxic Release!!! Radiation Leak!!!...
...Maybe do a standing chamber, that could fill with some fog and when the beacon light is triggered by a motion detector a human looking prop inside rotates around (thinking motorized Xmas tree stand) and you see the human's face and it looks like The Fly or some other mutant biological experiment....
...If you have a station wagon or maybe even an SUV, you could add it on top, add a magnetic sign to the side doors and turn it into an ambulance with props inside....
...if you have a haunt hallway for ToT to walk through, decorate it like a service walkway with pipes on the walls and have the flashing red light to alert them to a dangerous situation and then have fog spew out as in a steam pipe break...
what else comes to mind?
