Nightmare Sequence Explanation


 the room has two incarnations, each is to be unsettling in their own right.

The first incarnation is that it is to look like a crime scene waiting to be found, but no bodies. The room is to be disgustingly filthy. There is to be a bloodied and stained matress, with sawn through ropes near it. Syringes in the corner, discarded clothes, and the walls should be crumblingin a pattern akin to something being bloted to the wall at shoulder height. , . There is flickering lighting, and the only window in the place is to have bars on the inside. There is a sink with a medicine cabinet, the elder sign is scrawled on it. The effect of the place should be that you want to take a bath soon after looking at it. A very long bath. The audio signature of this incarnation of the room is weeping and water dripping at such a low level as to be almost inaudible.

The second incarnation of the room is much more overtly horrifying, while it's reality is questionable. The scene in this room always follows one of two templates. Either the priests lay hands on the character, and bow down to worship at their feet, or they slit their throat. The lighting is constant, and mostly candles. The elder sign is written on the floor in blood. There are to be human sacrifices chained to the wall. Initially the wall sconces for the human sacrifices will be empty, but they will fill up as tristan takes his victims. Whoever is the character in the room is chained in a squatting position in the middle of the circle of the elder sign. As the scene progresses, priests appear, self flagilate and either worship or sacrifice.The audio signature of this incarnation of the room is a heartbeat, and screams at such a low level as to be almost inaudible.

The presentation of this will be a layered effect, with long lingering shots of the first incarnation of the room, juxtaposed with intense fast serieses of cuts from the second incarnation.
