The haunted mirror. This prop was built and used in 2001. Added to the hallway in 2002, it is the last piece that visitors come across before leaving the walk through. Semi automated, it is triggered by pulling the red rope hanging in front that visitors just can't seem to resist. This one, like they said in the old days...."It's all done with mirrors." as it is an effect done with lighting and a two way mirror. Of course it also has sound and motion. The mirror turned out to be one of the most startling effects at The Cauldron of Invention. When a visitor approaches the mirror, he sees his reflection just like a normal mirror. That is until he pulls the rope. It all happens very quickly. The lights go out, Lightning flashes and thunder crashes. As the lightning flashes, he sees his image alternate with that of a monster with each flash. Then, after the storm, he is left facing the monster in an erie blue light. The monster is clawing at the glass with mouth moving and says in a deep growling voice....."That's my candy,,,give it back!"
