- Peeping Tom
For haunters looking to add an eerie, interactive vibe to their graveyard scenes, Peeping Tom offers a creative and compact solution. This vertical-format animation brings a curious skeleton to life as he pops in, makes eye contact, and begins his quiet, unnerving monologue. It's designed specifically for small portrait-style screens, adding personality and subtle creep factor to your tombstone props or upright displays.
Whether you're building a haunted cemetery or a mausoleum walk-through, this effect gives your guests the feeling that they’re not just being watched—but being studied. It’s spooky, theatrical, and filled with character.
Peeping Tom by Spectral Illusions
“He sees you… and he’s not alone.”
Peeping Tom is a wonderfully creepy vertical-format animation designed to give guests the unsettling feeling that someone—or something—is watching. Intended for use on a 22” monitor turned vertically, such as within Hayes Haunt’s 3D Monitor Stone or similar tombstone props, this 3-minute and 44-second effect features a sly, skeletal creeper who slowly emerges from behind the grave. With exaggerated expressions, a whispery voice, and a sinister laugh, he beckons you to stay quiet… because death is coming.
What makes Peeping Tom so effective is its combination of playfulness and menace. The animation doesn’t rely on sudden jump scares—instead, it unnerves with direct eye contact, knowing gestures, and a smirking presence that suggests the skeleton knows something you don’t. It’s less of a scream moment and more of a “slow crawl under your skin” effect—perfect for tombstone props, haunted graveyards, or narrow corridors where proximity heightens the discomfort.
Creative Use Cases:
Use Peeping Tom inside a 3D tombstone monitor like Hayes Haunt’s stone prop or build your own faux headstone with an inset vertical screen. The whispering tone and eerie gaze work especially well in low-light graveyard scenes where guests need to get close to notice. Add subtle lighting or flickering candles around the base to draw their attention. You can also place it behind a cracked mausoleum door or in a haunted hallway niche for an unexpected “face in the dark” moment. For added realism, sync audio to a directional speaker or motion sensor for timed reveals.
Our Recommendation:
Peeping Tom is a clever and quietly chilling effect that works best in intimate spaces or small-scale haunt builds where subtlety and mood take center stage. It’s a great way to add life (or death) to your tombstones without overwhelming the scene, and its portrait orientation makes it a perfect fit for creative prop integration.
