Set design class for haunted houses part 3

This is part three of a multi-part set design class from Stiltbeast Studios aimed at professional haunted attraction builders. The lesson explores how to deliberately invert feng shui principles — the ancient practice of arranging spaces to promote harmony and balance — and apply them in reverse to make guests feel uneasy and physically off-balance. By weaponizing spatial design against visitor comfort, haunters can heighten fear responses before a single scare is even delivered. The approach treats the environment itself as an active participant in the haunted experience.
