Haunted Mansion (2022) - Haunted Hallway Concepts

Some post-production paint-overs done for Production Designer Darren Gilford on Haunted Mansion. I was tasked with coming up with gags that could be mimed by the actors on the existing set as the house tries to impede their progress. A fun and challenging exercise. Ultimately I believe the spiraling hallway concept was used in the film.

Spiraling hallway. Ultimately I think something similar was used in the film.

Rippling walls and floors, which would try to trip up our hero. As well, the mouldings would tear off and form hands that would try to grasp him. some practical effects would have to be used here to create an undulating surface for the actor.

Floorboards falling away. An easy one to shoot, just lay down markers for the actor representing the "balance beam" path he has to follow.

Another version of floorboards falling away, only in this case leaving floating islands that the actor would have to hopscotch between. Balance boards like those used in physical therapy would have helped sell this gag as well.
