It must have sucked to be locked behind a door like that. I've seen that kind of knob before but I can't remember where...

Prescription, eh? I wonder where escape artists get theirs...

Usually, grated doors mean elevators. I've seen it in a lot of movies.

My gradeschool had walls like that. I'd like to see how they are built.

Looks like high school desk-chairs, actually. This reminds me of a time in high school that I snuck into an old, unused part of the school that had classrooms and other small rooms with connecting doors. I wish I took pictured of that area.

Bookstore managers need to see this picture when they say to their employees, "I want to see these books fly off the shelves!"

Nice shot. This is an interesting kind of room to find after following twisting, turning passages. I'd sure love to tour this place myself..

"Children of the night... wake up!" (zombies rise)

Interesting shot. It sorta reminds me of the original Salem's Lot movie with the casket in the basement.

Yes, check out Posey's web site. There you can see brand new straightjackets along with a short video clip on how to put one on. I thought the video clip was funny in that the person wearing the jacket is standing perfectly still while the other person demonstraits how to locate the arms and adjust the straps. What struck me funny was I thought if this were in a real life setting and someone was trying to put a jacket on a patient who NEEDED to have one of these, wouldn't they be resisting, throwing their arms around and generally hostile? So the demonstraiter makes it look easy, but I think if you were actually trying to put one of these on someone, it might be a little difficult. One thing I thought was a bit odd when I visited Posey's web page. You can't just put one of these in your cart and purchase it, you have to have a prescription for it! A prescription yet! So if you REALLY have to have one, you can find them second hand at places like eBay.

Unhinged..........Brilliant Shot.....

great photo ....... love the night shift.......

The ultimate in Zombie-Proof!

Invisible Stairs!! - For demonstration purposes we have left the cageware between the stairs visible, but imagine the fun you can have with your friends when they see zombies apparently "floating" in mid air!!

Order now!

Can't code - straightjacket is too tight.

Seriously, they are made by "Posey"? Seriously?

Time to get the paper shredder out!

Was the casket actually opened like that when you came upon it?

YES..probably. OK.....thanks Motts
- but did it not work well a tiny little bit from the very beginning?
Before the asylums got so terrible over-crowed? Crowded is never good. Big problem. And with no means/funding it is impossible.
Just think; attractive beautiful cozy & comfortable, + all that niceness mentioned, would benefit any-one with any illness, maybe?
Still think it was such a sweet, thought through idea when it started.
They had such great dreams and big-hearted hopes; they were fair & splendid, and they built thereafter. The idea of the vision does shine through.

Thanks; nope this place has been visited by quite a few people in recent years.
