WOO !
alter the Hollywood sign for Halloween | |
The idea is to create a temporary celebration of Halloween at this time of social distancing by altering the iconic sign.
This is achieved by a blackout of the letters H O L L Y and D on the HOLLYWOOD sign and lighting up the remaining WOO in lurid green. Everyone knows that "WOO" is the scary noise
made by all the best ghosts.
With a little bit more work the letter D could become an exclamation mark.
WOO !

Wait, hold on a min, I thought they said "Boo". Are your ghosts
"scary noise making" flunkies? |
|

This is good, because 'woo' is also a term for a lot
of nonsense new-age thinking that Hollywood types
might believe in (the healing power of crystals,
etc.)
The idea, as written though, //blackout
of the letters H O L L Y W and D// would leave just
"OO!" remaining, which I like to imagine spoken in a
sort of Kenneth Williams/Around The Horne voice. |

W was intended to remain.... |
|
| |
This is clever. HO...WOO. maybe? [+] |
|
| |
It's people that say Boo! to make others jump, but
real ghosts always go Wooooo..... |
|
| |
If it's werewolf-themed, it should become HOWLYWOOD, shirley ? |
|
| |
Ah, but what I have proposed is easily acheivable by turning off a few lights and colouring the other ones green. |
|
| |
This is pretty clever, and reasonably easy to implement
(being arrested for willful damage notwithstanding...). I
would suggest a step-by-step set-up over several days,
getting shutters and colour gels ready at each light before
the final (Oct 31st) deployment. "D" could easily become a
"!" with a well-designed mask or an independent light
source. |
