Spooky Prop Gallery and Devices

The Spooky Prop gallery and Spooky Particle gallery delivers a wide variety of eerie building and visual content that is great for creepy games — and be sure to check the Radio and Speaker devices for a plethora of spooky sounds.

Flashlight Device & Customizable Lights
The flashlight device illuminates the area in front of you when equipped. Customizable lights can be switched on or off based on player interaction or remote events. Perfect for setting up a haunted house environment.

Creature Placer
Create designer jump-scares with this device which allows you to hand-place individual creatures to really get up close and personal with your players. Surprise!
