Deep Waters

Turn Any Vertical Screen Into a Sinister Deep-Sea Aquarium

Deep Waters – HD brings oceanic horror to life with a brilliantly immersive underwater experience that blends realism, tension, and a touch of dread. Originally created exclusively for a major Halloween retailer, this premium video FX package is now available to the public—and it’s more than just fish swimming by. With four distinct underwater scenes, seamless transitions, and the option to include a terrifying Shark Tank update, this projection effect creates the illusion of peering into a massive aquatic enclosure.

Each scene is bracketed with a heavy-metal sliding bulkhead door transition, which cleverly masks video switching so you can jump between scenes without your audience noticing. It’s a subtle detail, but it adds a polished, professional feel to the overall illusion. If you’d rather focus on a single environment, each scene also comes with its own seamless looping version—making this effect extremely versatile for different haunt setups.

What We Love:

🐠 Unique Scene Transitions That Feel Real
The inclusion of the bulkhead door as a visual buffer between scenes is genius. It not only hides hard cuts, but enhances the illusion that viewers are looking through a pressure-sealed viewing window into the deep.

🦈 Optional Shark Tank Scare
An upgraded version of Hi Rez’s popular Shark Tank video is available to bundle with this product. It’s perfect for creating a shocking moment in an otherwise serene underwater environment, especially when paired with physical effects.

📺 Portrait Orientation for Realistic Tank Illusion
Because this effect is designed for vertical display, it maps perfectly onto upright screens placed behind fake walls, tanks, or submarine-style windows—especially when using 44″-60″ LCD TVs or projectors.

Use Case Ideas:

• Aquarium Wall Display: Install a vertically mounted TV in a faux aquarium frame or ship interior to create the illusion of a deep-sea viewing port.
• Haunted Submarine Scene: Combine with fog, metallic props, and lighting to simulate a leaking underwater vessel under pressure.
• Shark Jump Scare Integration: Use the Shark Tank add-on as a final scare moment following calm ambient scenes. Trigger it with sound, motion, or air blasts.
• Aquatic Room Decor: Use in lobbies, hallways, or bathrooms as a thematic ambient display that surprises guests when the environment shifts.

Final Verdict:

Deep Waters is less of a jump scare and more of an atmospheric masterpiece. Its beauty is in the details: seamless transitions, versatile playback, and thoughtful orientation make it ideal for immersive environments. Add the optional Shark Tank upgrade and you’ve got the best of both worlds—ambient awe and sudden terror.
