- Nightmare Nurse – 2D + 3D
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.
A Screaming-Asylum Scare That Stabs Right Through the Screen
Nightmare Nurse – 2D + 3D is one of Hi Rez Designs’ most immersive and interactive projection effects—perfect for any hospital, asylum, or medical-themed haunt. The setup simulates a vintage, deranged nurse staggering toward you down a decaying corridor, wielding a massive syringe like it’s a weapon. Just when you think the scene has reached its peak, the steel hospital door opens, and the nurse lunges forward with the syringe, spraying straight toward the viewer in a brilliantly timed jump scare.
Available in both standard HD and Real-Depth® 3D Anaglyph, this product is designed for vertical mounting on TVs or monitors embedded in walls, doors, or prop façades. When paired with the Hi-Rez Relay Decoder, the effect goes from great to jaw-dropping. At the exact moment the nurse strikes, you can trigger air cannons, water sprayers, fog, and lighting effects—making the scene feel terrifyingly real.
What We Love:
🩸 Synchronized Animatronic Integration
Nightmare Nurse isn’t just a video—it’s an entire scare system. The drop-panel syringe lunge can be paired with a real animatronic arm or practical effect for a full 4D-style experience.
🧠 Stunning 3D Depth and Directionality
With Real-Depth® 3D support, you can push the illusion even further. The long hallway perspective and camera movement make the nurse feel like she’s actually getting closer, frame by frame.
🧪 Trigger-Ready Interactivity
Whether you want to mist your guests with water, blast them with air, or drop the lights just as the syringe strikes, it’s all easy to automate with the Relay Decoder—no editing required.
Use Case Ideas:
- Asylum Door Jump Scare: Mount a vertical monitor in a steel door prop with a trap panel that opens when the syringe thrusts out. Add a fog burst and water cannon for maximum realism.
- Surgical Hallway Finale: Use the 3D version at the end of a surgical or lab corridor to simulate a medical experiment gone horribly wrong.
- Timed Escape Room Climax: Trigger the lunge effect as a consequence for running out of time or failing a puzzle—no one expects the nurse to be waiting.
- Actor Crossover Opportunity: Follow the scare with a live nurse actor bursting out from a hidden side hallway holding a similar prop syringe.
Final Verdict:
Nightmare Nurse takes projection scares to the next level with its tight pacing, shocking visuals, and perfect compatibility with real-world props. Whether you use it with a functional animatronic arm or let the screen do all the work, it’s one of the most impactful medical-themed FX on the market. Ideal for high-traffic haunts, escape rooms, or any attraction that wants to inject guests with a heavy dose of terror.
