- BUGS: VOLUME 1 - HD
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.
Crawling, Squirming, and Absolutely Disgusting—in All the Right Ways
If you’re going for the “make their skin crawl” effect in your haunt this year, BUGS: VOLUME 1 is a must-have addition to your digital arsenal. This projection pack unleashes a disturbing infestation of cockroaches, maggots, and gut-churning gore, all designed to work seamlessly with standard projectors or TV screens. It’s grotesque, versatile, and surprisingly easy to set up.
The set includes multiple versions of each animation: a full screen cockroach swarm, a spotlight matte version that hides screen edges and focuses viewer attention, and a lightning flash version where each bolt reveals the bugs in stark, unsettling detail. On top of that, you’ll get three maggot-focused clips—one relatively tame, and two that bring the blood and gore for max shock value.
What We Love:
🪳 Maximum Gross-Out with Minimal Effort
This is plug-and-play horror at its best. Whether you’re aiming for subtle unease or outright disgust, the crawling bugs and squirming maggots hit the mark. The videos are designed to loop continuously for 4–5 minutes, so you can set it and forget it for your entire haunt runtime.
📽️ Projection Versatility
You can project onto virtually anything: walls, ceilings, kitchen sets, piles of trash, or even inside prop holes. The spotlight versions are especially effective for hiding projection edges and simulating bug infestations in specific nooks and crannies.
🔊 Sound That Makes You Itch
Each video includes stereo soundtracks with squishing, crawling, buzzing, and skittering. Played through decent speakers, the sound alone is enough to make guests recoil—and when paired with the visuals, it’s nightmare fuel.
Use Case Ideas:
- Butcher Shop or Kitchen Set: Project the maggot versions over fake meat or a sink filled with “rotting food” for maximum gross-out.
- Trash Pile or Sewer Scene: Use the cockroach spotlight version to make it look like bugs are spilling out of holes in a wall or pipe.
- Creepy Crawl Space: Place a TV screen behind broken drywall and use the full-screen version for a terrifying surprise infestation.
- Lightning Hallway: Use the lightning bug version on a wall as guests walk past—revealing a sudden swarm timed with thunder sound effects.
Final Verdict:
BUGS: VOLUME 1 proves that sometimes horror doesn’t need a monster—just a whole lot of legs. With its easy setup, long seamless loops, and skin-crawling sound design, this pack brings the creepy-crawly realism to haunts in a way few other effects can. Whether you’re a seasoned haunt builder or just want one disgusting centerpiece, this one delivers.
