Dissected Actor

Generic Western Room Location: Big Room (X4)

Purpose

Raise the gore level, creep out the patrons, bring them close to death (even if it is not theirs... yet).

Description

The plastic drapes near this room are tinged with veins and squiggly bits. Almost as if the plastic walls are developing life themselves.

Opening the door to the room, the guests don't immediately see much of interest; perhaps the head of an actor laying on a table.

As they close the door and crowd into the room, they see the blue curtain across the actor's body and the damage that has been wrought on the actor. Due to the blue shield, the actor can not see what has happened.

In the far corners, there are buckets of gore, blood and tissues on the walls, etc. The walls are draped with plastic, and any western decor is covered with white plastic. The table is covered with white plastic.

The actor, in fact, is unaware that anything has happened, but doesn't "feel right" and is nervous and wants to leave. But can't get up.

The basic interaction is the actor pleading to know what is going on and asking for help getting up. The guests and guide are all, "dude, you aren't going anywhere".

As they talk, the lights flicker and occasionally go out entirely. This room can be sealed -- top, doors, everything -- to make it pitch black.

The actor can grow weaker and delirious as time goes on. There may be an audio flushing cue.

The group MUST shuffle around the mangled actor, in close proximity to the gore, to get out the other door.

Guide Notes

Try to crowd the guests close to the mangled actor. Need to work out the exit cue.

Special Timing

This is a "fast" station, sharing time with TrophyRoom or something. Keep the action moving, the tension high.
