In this post I will go trough all the geeky technical details of how we created the torture chamber. All gadget in the “performance” were controlled from a control center in the next room. I wish I had more illustrative pictures from the construction though 😦
My Accomplices
Here goes:
1. An unknowing victim is picked out at the Halloween party upstairs. He/she is asked to gently follow us down. He/she is given a safety word to say if things go to far. We want to scare not scar people. No word is spoken from this point. The person is blindfolded and brought brutally down to the basement.
2. In the innermost cellar room, isolated from the noise of the party upstairs, the victim is put into an (empty) bathtub. Here he/she is chained on hands and feet and left alone with no information of what is going on. The door is locked and the room is left in darkness except from a dark red darkroom bulb glowing through the ribs of a slaughtered deer and a randomly strobing white lamp in one end of the room.
Our test victim Louise is ready.
We are currently working on our little Halloween project in the basement at Stasjonen. A nice little chamber of torture is being built. Trials to test the human spirit are prepared. But it is all just a game, or is it?
To our aid we have to carcasses and a night vision camera. I will soon bring photos, videos and details of the awfulnesses. They just needs to be committed first. Remember the safety word..
