    I like it! What about the zombie invasion DVD on the MM, every day when a new Walking Dead episode is online on netflix? :D

      Excellent idea, we still have a month to finish this, so it is ready for Halloween. ;)

      Would be best, if we can avoid the proprietary content though, and find something that can be distributed together with the module free for everyone to use.

          I am not (yet :) ), but this seems to be a good starting place:

            @Jopyth Awesome!

            We’re hosting a Halloween party, so this would be great to have running through the night!

              Do we have a generic video file playing module?

                  I’m hunting for anything we can use, here is another paid product, pretty sweet though since it’s in a format for being displayed as a door window, similar to our mirror.
                  So still good for looking at ideas, but nothing free yet…

                  CAAAAN DOO!👍

                    @Mr.Meeseeks Does it have to be a video?

                    Why can’t we just load a gif?

                    http://giphy.com/search/grave-encounters

                    Edit: or a collection of gifs on a loop?

                      @Mitchfarino But how are our ghosts staying in HD-Quality with a gif?

                      Ok, joke aside, gif might also be a good option. But I still think the main thing is to find a video or gif, that actually look decent on the mirror. Without stuff in the background, and maybe something like a fade in and fade out movement.
