Dot Room (Polka Dot) - Halloween Ideas

 

 

Last Update: 04/19/2001

I heard some impressive reviews of “Dot Rooms” and their effect on people attending Haunted Attractions. The concept is simple, yet effective. Using a room, paint small florescence dots on every wall in the room, including the ceiling. Use a black light or black light strobe in the room to give the walls some life. Then add in an actor with a similar painted outfit matching/blending in with the walls. The effect is random movement of dots. The video below gives the best demonstration of the effect. Other ideas and concepts are shown in the other pictures and links.

  • Picture 1 is from the Den of Darkness Haunted Attraction.
  • Picture 2 is from Off the Wall Designs. 
  • Picture 3 is from Jamie Martini’s web site explaining a Shrinking Tunnel effect.

I hope to create a “Dot Room” for my 2001 Haunt. I have 2 strobing black lights and additional “regular” blacklights” if needed. I’ll post pictures of my progress as time permits. Send me an e-mail if you have created similar effects and I’ll post the information on my site for others to enjoy.
