“I hope my friends are okay in the haunted house. Here I am, stuck viewing everything through this monitor they gave me.”
“Surprise!”
“Huh?”
“Hi, we’re with PRANK TV! We removed the colour via the monitor to make the house look haunted! You’ve been PRANKED!”
“Wow!”
“I’ll tweak the settings… here’s the colour back. Not so haunted-looking now… oh, shit.”

“No, it’s not. Phew!”
“Um, about your friends…”
“Thank goodness they’re not in a haunted house! I’ll just wait here for my friends to come back out, then.”
“Um. About that. Yeah. I wouldn’t bother waiting…”
Speak to me - I'd love to hear your thoughts!

With the last two words were you suggesting it was actually haunted?

It looks more like the house of a deranged psychopath to me… the film crew’s told him not to bother waiting for his friends, so they don’t hold out much hope!

YIKES … I so dislike pranks and surprises.

Oooh how blood-thirsty, in techni-colour, somehow more powerful because the bloodshed points are mapped onto the house. Quite Gothic Ali.
