DOUBLE Drop Window?

[turkeycreaux]

Has anyone tried something like this?

I had a thought of setting a group up for a scare, building anticipation, lead them to a drop window, and BAM, window drops to reveal a not so scary scare. Maybe a picture of the thing they were dreading. They laugh, thinking that was it, what a lame scare, when WHAMMO, the 2nd panel in the same place drops with the real scare.


The TL;DR version: two panels in a drop window, dropping one at a time. Feasible? Pointless?

I think it would slow down your haunt a lot and then people would look away after the crappy scare. Just my opinion. Have to hit them the first time.

I use a piece of 3/4" plywood for my drop panel. When it hits bottom it is like a gun going off. No picture or additional scares necessary.

I recommend the 3/4 Plywood. We added a L Channel to the bottom of ours to avoid replacing the wood so often. Splintering can be dangerous for the actors too. Pieces will go where they want, including eyes.

I dig the idea...I might wanna make the second drop the whole friggin wall though

We did the 3/4" as well, with the L at the bottom for added effect. I also added an electronic popper at the bottom so they get hit by loud noises everywhere. And its pitch black to boot!!
