- GORE-TRAITS: Volume 3
Hi Rez Designs has built a reputation for delivering high-impact, cinematic-quality projection effects that elevate any Halloween setup—from home haunts to professional attractions. Their library of digital scares blends classic horror with cutting-edge visuals, allowing haunters to create immersive environments without the need for complex equipment or editing software. Whether you're projecting onto windows, doors, or custom props, their effects are designed to drop jaws and raise heart rates.
What truly sets Hi Rez Designs apart is the versatility and expandability of their products. Most effects can be used as looping visuals or activated by trigger, and many are optimized for integration with the Hi Rez Relay Decoder—a device that lets you sync the on-screen scare with real-world elements like fog machines, strobes, air cannons, or even animatronics. The result? Hollywood-level horror effects at a fraction of the cost and effort.
Smiling for the Camera—Then Boom.
Just when you thought haunted portraits couldn’t get any more shocking, GORE-TRAITS: Volume 1 raises the bar—and then splatters it in blood. This edition of Hi Rez’s Paranormal Portraits series isn’t subtle. It’s graphic, violent, and jaw-droppingly unexpected. A picture-perfect couple stands still, smiling sweetly—until the husband pulls a shotgun and graphically executes his wife right in front of your guests.
Designed for vertical portrait display, this gruesome scare is ideal for those who want a more extreme tone to their haunt. It delivers maximum impact whether used on its own or as part of a haunted hallway of living portraits. The included trigger-ready version works with the Hi Rez Relay Decoder, allowing you to pair the visual scare with an air or water blast that hits right as the gun fires, soaking or startling your audience at the perfect moment.
What We Love:
💀 A Portrait That Kills—Literally
Most living portraits move or snarl—this one murders. The brutal, bloody execution delivers one of the hardest scares in the Hi Rez lineup.
🎯 Practical Integration Ready
Whether you want a dry shock or a full wet “splash zone” setup, this effect works seamlessly with air cannons or water sprayers for unforgettable realism.
📺 Visually Cinematic
Filmed in 2K-HD with real actors, the moment looks like it’s been pulled from a big-budget horror film. The frame, lighting, and buildup are all spot on.
Use Case Ideas:
- Haunted Portrait Gallery: Mount vertically framed monitors in an upscale haunted mansion set and let this “happy couple” surprise guests.
- Shock Booth Attraction: Build a narrow hallway where viewers are forced to walk close to the portrait—and get blasted at the moment of the gunshot.
- Queue Line Gag: Place it just before an attraction entrance with a delay loop to catch unsuspecting guests off guard.
Final Verdict:
GORE-TRAITS: Volume 1 is not for the faint of heart—and that’s what makes it a standout. Haunters looking to move beyond subtlety and go full shock-and-awe will find this portrait effect to be one of the most disturbing, memorable, and effective jump-scares in digital Halloween FX. A must-have for pro-level haunts that want to push the boundaries of gore and surprise.
