Description: Hollywood Quality Horror! Terrify your unsuspecting guests with the latest killer addition in our arsenal of high-tech special effects: the Scary Mary Mirror! This beautiful ornate mirror easily serves as the center piece in any haunted house setting and appears to be innocent enough, until the mirror's reflection suddenly transforms into a specter emanating from one's deepest nightmares. Stealthily hidden behind the precisely formulated 2-way mirrored surface is an LCD video screen, ready for playback of any of our expanding library of routines: from sudden horrifying startles for use in key areas of your haunt, to longer format routines designed to entertain your guests while they wait in the queue line or to set up the back story for your attraction. The screen mounts easily to the wall using the included ultra-low profile wall mount. No false wall construction necessary. Each Scary Mary Mirror system includes: one intricately detailed mirror frame measuring a grand 40" tall by 28" wide, LCD panel, DVD player with HDMI output and cable, wall mount, and even a portrait light to illuminate it, if desired. An optional controller is available to enable the mirror's video to be triggered with a switch mat, PIR sensor, or hand-held switch (each sold separately).

JR's IGN's Top 10 Scariest Video Games of All Time Recap

NOTE This list below is not made and owned by JR, the list was borrowed from IGN in order to continue the Halloween Special of JR's Blogs (Rankings was not based on the Game Ratings).

IGN's List of TOP 10 SCARIEST VIDEO GAMES of ALL TIME

(A Special Halloween Ender Blog)

1

SILENT HILL 2

****  

Game Ratings:

IGN - 9.0

Press Rating - 8.6

Reader Score - 8.9

Average -8.83

*****

Genre: Adventure

Published by: Konami

Developed by: Konami TYO

Release Date: September 25,2001

ESRB Rating: M for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence

Available on: PlayStation2, Xbox, PC

*****

Summary:

Silent Hill created an atmosphere that was not only eerie, but also often psychologically unnerving: David Lynch's Twin Peaks combined with the look of a Marilyn Manson video. Silent Hill 2 brings you back to the town of Silent Hill as James, a man who lost his wife several years earlier. One day, he receives a letter from his dead wife telling him to come back to Silent Hill, but what he finds there when he returns is nothing short of horrifying.

2

DOOM 3

****  

Game Ratings:

IGN - 8.9

Press Rating - 8.8

Reader Score - 8.8

Average -8.83

*****

Genre: First-Person Shooter

Published by: Activision

Developed by: Id Software

Release Date: August 3, 2004

ESRB Rating: M for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence

Available on: PC, Xbox, Mac, Linux

*****

Summary:

Distinguishing itself from previous titles, the third game in the series focuses more on an engrossing single player experience. In addition to its frenzied first-person shooter action, it also scares the wits out of players as they tremble down dark corridors filled with gruesome zombies and monsters ready to attack from the shadows. Players have to switch between their weapons and their flash light to survive the horror that Hell has unleashed on Mars. DOOM 3 features realistic physics, 6-channel surround-sound, and real-time dynamic lighting and shadows that create an environment of ever-changing fear and uncertainty. Compete in vicious multiplayer action where light, shadows, and a totally dynamic world can be used to your advantage or peril.

3

SYSTEM SHOCK 2

****  

Game Ratings:

IGN - 9.0

Press Rating - 9.6

Reader Score - 9.6

Average - 9.4

*****

Genre: First-Person RPG

Published by: Electronic Arts

Developed by: Looking Glass / Irrational Games

Release Date: August 11, 1999

ESRB Rating: M for Realistic Violence, Blood and Gore

Available on: PC, DC

*****

Summary:

Choose your path, choose your weapons, choose your skills and then immerse yourself in what is arguably one of the most frightening, eerie and simply amazing titles around. It's a kind of action-intensive RPG that few can even come close to touching. System Shock 2 set a new approachable precedent for all first-person perspective games. It's loaded with so many extras that exploration and interaction were necessities. Cybernetic monsters, rogue robots and a bunch of mutants called "The Many" dot an adventure that should not be missed by anyone with a backbone and a brain. Watch out for them psi- monkeys!
