I had one of those things
I used a big neon sign transformer and two pieces of coat hanger and yes, they work just like in the movies.
We also rigged it so one wire charged a metal plate, and the other hung over the plate. You could place various unsuspecting objects on the plate, and zap the bejesus out of them, for minutes at a time. This was great fun with the lights off. One of my favorite things to zap was chunks of ice, the spark would run all over eroding it down to just water, lighting the ice beautifully.
Important safety tip: Do not allow wet hands to get anywhere near the wires.
