If you were...

Don't discount smell & creepy music.  As long as it's not over-done!  Subtle is good, that way they can't put their finger on what is making them so creeped out.

In all seriousness though, James is right.  Creepy is much better than the typical "jump in your face" scary.  If someone jumps out and startles you, you get over it in a few seconds.  See something creepy enough and that shit will be stuck with you for hours.

I agree with both James and Geoff. The subtle creepy really gets me, especially things that just aren't right, i.e. family album with the faces cut out. One of the best things I ever saw/creeped me out was at Eastern State Penitentiary on their Halloween tour. We entered a room with strobe lights going off and standing around the room, forcing us to walk past them were hooded figures in cloaks. Some were hanging from the ceiling and others were just standing. As we walked through, very confused because of the lights, some of the figures started to *SLOWLY* move towards us with their hands out. It creeped me the freak out because I had to walk through more of the them and didn't know which ones were dummies and which weren't. Think dementors as far as they were dressed.

This sounds awesome, btw!

Well, i just came back from my meeting and so far the two things going for it as the main "themes" are the classics and a reversed fairy tale land.  It's interesting how a 1 hour meeting can turn into 3 hours with planning on how to spend the budget on props and then getting costumes handed over to myself xD

Way to be original

... but sooo right...

High-Five Kimmel! *smak*

... OK enough derailing this poor ladies thread with Politics.

That's ok, the meeting was derailed about 5 times because we were playing with a dog.
