Screaming doormat- other uses/ideas?

I had one of those screaming door mats that when you step on it, it lets out a loud scream from Party City. Well the mat's seen better days and I have the mechanism that makes it scream. It's a thin silver disc connected by a wire to the scream/noise plastic "box" When you even lightly touch the disc , the screams sounds

What I'm wondering is what use could I put this to in my haunt? Trying to come up with some ideas to use it? Anyone got some good ones?

We "bury" one in the cemetary next to the coffin that's the grave diggers dug up. It's cracked open with an arm hanging out, if you bend down and look inside there's a creepy looking head. Most people won't get that close to look, but if they do, they trigger the scream which really scares them.

If it's the kind with the small metal disc then DO NOT cut the wire! I believe that kind of mat works by creating a magnetic field or something. My mat was going off like mad during a lightening storm. It's not a pressure mat - I know this 'cause I cut mine. I've since made it into a pressure mat to trigger my witch.
