A fear cage

[BarnofTerror Noblesville]

Has anyone used the technique of creating a fear cage with like ultra low bass or electromagnetic fields in a room? Something that will make people feel uneasy but not have permanent effects?

That's exactly what im thinking! I might be mistaken, but you may look into TRANSDUCERS. They shake with super low frequencies. I was thinking that in combination with a low "whirring" sound from a couple of subs (like in transformers dark of the moon trailer) would be wicked in an enclosed room!

Frightprops has or had an audio that was all low frequency sounds in their audio section. It might help.

Here's a weird-ass freebie idea that we did with outstanding results and relatively low cost-

Buy a Harbor Freight Cement Vibrator (about $80). Get the free one year warranty (although I doubt you will need it) and bolt the vibrating head to the floor with u-bolts along side of the path- Within 5-6 feet anyway. Must be a wood floor or similar- not cement of course! Rig the power cord with a momentary switch for an actor to trigger when they walk by.

They will come out of their shoes- no doubt.

Was so funny to watch we tried to record the reactions, but the light was to low to get much...

Makes your feet numb...

we did the say thing Zombie, except we used the Harbor Freight "palm" sanders ,on sale for $8.00 dollars, bolted to a plywood floor, rigged them to a "power strip" for the "switch" ...WAY cheap like 40.00 dollars total.
Slaughter.

Well there goes spending $500 for a transducer! Thanks guys!

19 Hz is supposed to be the magic number. Careful, tho. Fear Generators work on actors as well as patrons. Make sure no actors are near the room when it deploys.

JB used one back in the day, and after one night, turned it off. It was just way too intense!
