La Ronde once again requested the help of Créations Jean Pronovost this year for the creation of special effects. Their haunted house needed a bust where we could see the ribcage and the guts. It needed to be wore by an actor. We see on this picture the actor wearing the bust at the exact position where the spectator will see him. This scene is even more terrifying in the dark.
