@crimsontadpoles I love them too, but they're a pain in butt to peel.

you think you got it bad try being one of my dutch oven victims.
it keeps the bed free of other people trying to hog the sheets.
no one can escape the dutch oven

Yep! The best groups that go through are the ones with screamers and the weenies. XD I really enjoy it, though sometimes I'm glad it's seasonal; it eats up a lot of my weekends.

Which would make you an amazing scare candidate (as long as you aren't a compulsive puncher). We would LOVE to have you.

I'm terrible at haunted houses. I'm usually the "there's a jumpscare over there, and there, and there" person.

Yeah, we aren't horribly fond of people who do that. The intentions are usually good, but we feel that can ruin the scares/entertainment for the rest of the group. Also, in some cases, it can backfire like with a group last night.... evil laughter.

Personally I don't mind if people don't get scared as long as they're enjoying themselves. The only groups I (we in most cases) truly don't like are the ones who either go through without even trying to get into the action and enjoy themselves, or are full of macho guys who are being [insert words of choice here] just to cause trouble.Thankfully our security team this year includes a fully uniformed officer (not always the same person) furnished by the local police department. We've found that's helped cut down on problem groups a little.

We ejected a group last night because one of them was stupid enough to use a lighter to try and see during a dark maze-like portion of the attraction.

Nope, sorry, staying in my room where it's safe. We don't do Halloween here. xD
The only Halloween-ish thing you'll see around here is Sanya. lol

Sounds like me, trying to cheat the system, smart kid.

...I suppose Sanya is a good alternative. XD

More like a 40-ish something with the intellect and common sense of a box of rocks. The attraction is indoors and many things are flammable.

You'd be surprised how many people can't follow the rules. Unfortunately one girl and her boyfriend a couple of years ago learned that the really hard way. We warn people about strobes being in the attraction (among other things), so someone with epilepsy should not have entered. She was taken away in an ambulance and later had to be airlifted to a larger hospital over an hour away.

@Tyranexx to be honest it's really just a coping mechanism. We can't be scared if we think we are one step ahead.

So don't worry, people like me are probably just as nervous as everyone else.

So yes, please do your best to snap us out of it.

@Meowpheel: It is a coping mechanism over half the time. We've also had people talk to just about everything they thought was an actor (including legit props) or just talking constantly in general. Some groups just go through in "train formation" and hide their faces behind the back of the person in front of them. XD Others just swear.

Our attraction relies more on props, scents, actors, and sounds more than animatronics. Actors are way more unpredictable. I've found that people don't like it when you invade their personal space and pretend to sniff them. XD

Talking about haunted houses and smells, hah, last time I went to one there was a very distinct odor in a certain part near the end. I guess those scares were way too effective with someone.

Has yours ever had a problem like that?

There are usually a few isolated incidents of #1. Some consider it a personal achievement if someone leaves a pee spot in their room. XD

#2...Well, I'm not aware of any incidents that had to be cleaned up, but a guy (we think he might've been drunk too) supposedly had an accident in his drawers in the room preceding mine last year, and the smell followed him throughout the rest of the attraction and lingered for awhile....

We do have some insane spray scents, like urine, poo fart, mildew, hospital, slaughterhouse....

@Tsurii Aww, bummer. Hopefully you're still able to find it.

And don't sweat it; I've been busy lately, as well.

did he look like a spinning alligator?

I'm sure he was seeing spinning alligators by the time that happened.

Never been on a haunted house... Just a ride through a supposed haunted house in the local amusement park and it was lame. You have to pay extra to enter the bona fide haunted house... and I’m too much of a cheap stake for that XD

I went into a haunted house DAT one time, and one of the monsters said "WAT kind of grown adult wears Hello-Kitty shirt?" So I revved up a spinning bird kick and avenged Hello-Kitty and Chun-Li, since Hello-Kitty was on said shirt wearing Chun-Li's getup.

...I'm bored, here, have a new Sanya video. TwT

She looks like she's getting hypnotized. XD

Ugh, stupid site, won't allow periods in our names. TwT
Oh well, good enough. lol
