“DO YOU SWEAR ON THE JUDGEMENT OF YOUR SOUL?

WE WANTED TO CREATE AN EGYPTIAN THEME FOR A WHILE... BUT I DID NOT WANT TO RELY ON TROPES ASSOCIATED WITH EGYPTIAN STORYTELLING. 

WE TAKE YOU BACK IN TIME FOR AEDFU, NO LIVING MUMMIES, NO CURSED OBJECTS AND NO RANDOM BRITISH GUYS ROBBING THE ROYAL TOMBS. WE WANTED THE STORY OF OUR EXPERIENCE TO HAVE RITUALISTIC TAKE AND RELAY THE FEAR ONTO THE AUDIENCE… THE FEAR OF JUDGEMENT.

THE HAUNT OPENS IN A MUMMIFICATION ROOM THAT HAS BEEN COVERED IN PLASTER OF PARIS AND AGED WITH GENUINE NATURAL PIGMENTS. YOU NOTICE THE ASTRINGENT SMELL OF PRIMITIVE INCENSE. ON A STONE SHELF YOU SEE CANOPIC JARS, BURNERS AND A SCALES OF JUSTICE, UNDERNEATH THE SHELF IS A WRAPPED MUMMY ON A TABLE.

A PRIEST ENTERS THE MUMMIFICATION ROOM AND RIPS THE HEART OF A BODY AND LIFTING IT INTO THE AIR… THE SCALES OF JUSTICE ON THE SHELF ILLUMINATES… THE SOUL WILL NOW BE JUDGED…
