Last week, I made a post about a demon in my backyard at 4am.
For anyone curious, this is how it disguises its form during daylight. Pretty convincing and a lot less unsettling.
Someone could ho out and put a couple of red LEDS in the “head” so you don’t have to rely on chance reflection. Maybe someone else in the house will get a startle.
Maybe, but I think it’s more fun with genuine reactions. That’s why I made the original post - it really did scare me, if only for a moment when I turned the corner.
This is especially true because, in general, I’m the only one in the house awake when this startlement might occur.
edit: I guess “genuine reactions” wasn’t really the correct description. I more meant “reactions to an unmanufactured situation.” I don’t want to make anyone scared, but if someone gets startled by an unexpected and natural and harmless situation, it’s more likely to be funny. Especially if the individual in question is me.
