It's also good to have blood dripping up from the occasional corpse (and, again, pooling on the ceiling - they did this in the computer game Undying). This would be even freakier to see outside, in the day, but then you don't get to describe the way the light changes as the bulb is slowly submerged (supermerged?) in blood...Just general screwing with gravity is fun. Imagine how difficult it would be to navigate a house if one character had to walk on the walls facing North (and only North!). Or if you open a door and the contents of the room fall on you or something.Or for real kicks, the door's stuck, and if you batter it open it tumbles across the room in zero gravity. You can walk normally, but maybe there's a few books hanging in midair...The toaster pops some toast and it's still frozen. On inspection, the loaf wasn't.If looked at out of the corner of your eye, pictures that John walks past appear to depict decapitated people. When you look at them directly, the people are OK and look quite happy. Occasionally, you hear stifled gargling noises when in the presence of portraits, but when you look at them it shuts up...Someone using a computer puts their hand on the mouse and something furry writhes around in their grasp and claws and bites them. When they snatch their hand away, the mouse is a normal computer mouse (with their blood on it).A good place to hold the ritual might be a dairy farm, for all sorts of reasons. There are animals to go crazy (or sacrifice, if necessary). And there are lots of wholesome foodstuffs in storage.Imagine walking past a refrigerator. There's a clattering noise inside it, but it's got heavy metal doors and obviously can't be opened from the inside. When you do open it, it's filled with hundreds and hundreds of full glass milk bottles, all jumping up and down. If you open one, the contents start pouring out - inch-long white maggots. All as cold as ice. (They were in a refrigerator, after all.)Well, there's some generic and specific freakoutness. In closing, I just want to say Play Clive Barker's Undying. There's some really class stuff in there (including the sources for several of my ideas).</blockquote>
