Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) October 14, 2004 - Now anyone can make ghost and ghoul heads float in nothingness just like in the Disney Haunted Mansion. From the digital visual effects expert behind “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and Showtime’s “Outer Limits” comes Big Scream TV, the first-ever Halloween DVD that people can use to create floating ghost heads at home! The three volumes of DVDs have different tricks, magical heads and how-to sections. Big Scream TV premieres this year in thousands of Halloween and party stores across the U.S. It was designed for the home, but it’s so good that the major theme park Six Flags Over St. Louis is using it throughout the park this year. There hasn’t been anything this new in Halloween in years, and it’s the first-ever application of DVDs and TVs to create ghostly illusions that blow folks away! The floating hologram-like head is an age-old trick with a new-age twist. The DVD’s image is reflected from the TV in an inexpensive piece of plexi-glass. Tricks vary from crystal ball illusions to faces in fireplaces to animated ghoulish portraits in picture frames. The various characters croak one-liners, hold séances, and attempt to all-around thrill & chill viewers. The audience response is always the same: “Whoa! Cool! How did you do that?!”
