In one of our home haunt rooms we usually make an alien autopsy room. To begin with I create a frame for the Alien prop, and dress is with a costume. The walls of the room can be left as they are, or you can dress up the walls with sheets of tinfoil that cover the entire surface of the wall.
Lighting effects in the alien autopsy room can include colored lights, as well as a strobe light.
You will need a long folding table for the autopsy table, as well as a body or corpse prop to place on it. For this prop I simply stuffed some clothes with a little newspaper, added some foam insulation in some areas and let it dry, then painted it. You can use a foam head, and mask for the head, cover with a white cloth or sheet in the areas that you don’t want seen.
You’ll want some extra props, such as body parts and blood. This same setup can work for any type of Halloween autopsy room; just replace the alien with a mad scientist or mortician. It is also a good idea to replace the prop with an actor in costume.
