If you lived in Portland, you could take a Shadow Lantern lamp-making class or a Revolving Paper lamp-making class.
Also, at Lost Knowledge: Magic lanterns you can read how one of the 18th century applications of the magic lantern was to use it to scare the Dickens out of people by projecting images of devils, demons, and ghosts in smoke-filled halls.
It's hard to find any place that sells anything like this, but the Mathmos Lamp Spinning Graphic Candle Lights Skeleton Carousel Red looks interesting. There are plenty of constellation projectors but I want this Laser Light Show! Not really the same thing at all, I know.
Interesting subject. Might be a great DIY project to research.
