  • House on the Rock Washrooms

    At House on the Rock even the washrooms are weird. This is one of the women’s washrooms.

    Image

    Those creepy faceless manikens are above the stalls, so they can look down on you while you pee. Creepy.

    Image

    The men’s washroom is full of dead animals.

    Image

    Kerri thinks that’s much less creepy.

    Image

    They also had a genuine jackalope, which is much cooler than anything in the women’s washroom.

  • House on the Rock Death Machines

    House on the Rock also had a bunch of little animatronic machines about death.

    Image

    This is a drunk guy. Skeletons pop out at him from all directions.

    Image

    There was a similar one with a women. Apparently these are supposed to scare you out of drinking.

    Image

    This one just had weird tombstones. I guess this is supposed to scare you out of breeding?

    Image

    And this one is supposed to scare you out of eating apples???

  • House on the Rock Music Machines

    House on the Rock has a bunch of very elaborate music machines.

    Image

    All of the instruments are like pianos that play themselves, except that they are not pianos.

    Image

    For small instruments, the robotics to play the instrument are bigger than the instrument, which looks funny.

    Image

    The drums are pretty simple.

    Image

    But to build an entire robot band you need more than drums.

    Image

    All of the rooms were very dark and hard to photograph, so it’s difficult to identify the instruments now.

    Image

    This drum playing robot was particularly scary.

    Image

    But the instruments in this room were played by robotic ghosts.

    Image

    You would think robotic ghosts would be scarier than robotic Asian dudes.

    Image

    But they’re not.
