Mist creeping along the ground, a bell tolling, a glow going out just behind you. You walk on, and the place breathes, watches and follows you.
Our Halloween universe is not decoration laid over a site: it is a journey you live through. A catalogue of immersive attractions — sound, light, smoke, animated automata — to be assembled to turn a park, a street or an estate into haunted territory.
Years of experience on the subject, and real expertise in how to handle Halloween, both technically and artistically.
From a fully turnkey project to the single element that completes your event.
You are creating an event and want to delegate the creative work. With our artistic, technical and production teams, we deliver a turnkey project — design, operational organisation, execution — within a defined budget.
You have already built your project and are looking for concepts to round it out. This catalogue of ideas gives you a sense of what we can do; adaptations are available on request, with concrete turnkey proposals after a short preliminary study.
You are a supplier on a project, or you are looking for a bespoke or standard creation. We work alongside other suppliers already on site, and we create new concepts from a defined brief and budget, or adapt something existing.
Trails, animated automata, interactive effects: to be assembled to suit your space, your visitor flows and your chosen level of fright — from family-friendly to full-on.
Panels of symbols light up and fade out through dynamic backlighting, as though driven by a life of their own. Some produce sounds, others spit out air or smoke. In interactive mode, a combination of activations triggers a show.
Light and sound on the standard model; our smoke platforms wrap the person in a tunnel of smoke for a few seconds. They can be linked to external effects and combined with one another: several visitors then have to be standing on several platforms at once.
Wooden crosses mounted on pneumatic rams pivot through 90°, moving from horizontal to vertical in an adjustable time (from 10 s down to 2 s). Light, mist and the sound of moving timber make the effect striking.
Our sound-makers detect visitors passing and play an unsettling sound. They are placed at strategic points to frighten people exactly where they do not expect it. A guaranteed surprise, for adults and children alike.
Our cauldrons are replicas fitted with a lighting system and logs to suggest fire, plus an internal smoke system. In interactive mode, they smoke harder and glow red as you come closer, as though you were being warned off.
Our burnt-wood coffins snap as visitors pass. Some only make the noise, others lift their lid to a variable height and speed. In interactive mode, some appear lifeless and snap only as you go by, for an even more startling effect.
Gobo projectors cast symbols onto surfaces; they appear and disappear, with or without a soundtrack. A simple, effective way to bring a space to life — as a complement to an act with live performers, for example.
An animation loop is projected onto the trees (or onto other surfaces). The idea: to drop visitors into the middle of a conversation between trees that reject them and order them to leave. In interactive mode, the trees come to life only as visitors pass.
The same projected trees, but this time they sing. A lighter passage that eases the mood of the trail, to be enjoyed by young and old alike.
Available in two versions: two illuminated “low walls” emitting smoke and lined with pozzolan stone; or a platform with red backlighting and smoke bursting from the ground, better suited to a short crossing. Both come with sound effects.
The barrels are interactive and remotely control flame generators the moment a visitor strikes them. A tribal soundtrack invites everyone to create flames in time with the music.
A water reservoir and a vertical jet, with an illuminated symbol control panel: a hand held above it governs the height of the jet. Sound effects can be linked to it. The piece can also be made more unsettling through colour and soundtrack.
Projectors with eye-shaped gobos are scattered through the vegetation; with a matching soundtrack and controlled brightness, the illusion is perfect. The eyes can look menacing or enchanting depending on colour and sound, and their shape can be adapted on request.
A repeating sequence opens with a calm scene, softly lit and restful. Then the bell rings: everything turns grim, thick fog rises, and the veil between the dead and the living seems ever more fragile.
A structural arch, dressed with scenery, lighting and smoke generators, creates the illusion of a portal to be crossed. It comes with sound effects and dynamic lighting effects.
A pentacle made from 50 cm LED neon, driven by show control. A one-minute loop repeats so that every visitor can enjoy it without creating a bottleneck along the trail, and it can be used differently from one project to the next.
Chronix delivered the technical and artistic creation of the outdoor section of the 2025 edition of the Village Hanté: the visitor trail in sound, light, effects and pneumatic mechanisms.
Two months of creation and discussion with the client, three days of build, fifteen technicians — for two evenings of performances.
La Maison du Frisson is an immersive haunted trail created by Chronix: scenography, pneumatic automata, motorised scenery, immersive sound, video mapping onto 3D faces, lighting and mechanical effects.
The attraction was notably covered in a news report on France 3.
Created by Capricorn Production for Halloween 2019, Le Tunnel de l’Horreur plunges visitors into a corridor of sound, lighting and special effects where the tension rises with every step. Chronix supplied electromechanical automata and instant effects.
