LOL. I do buy more candy around this time of year and yeah I even buy hot choco..... So, Sat. I was with my sister and her friend and we went to one of those haunted house thingies that are popping up all over. The one was entitles Fear at Frontier (Frontier is our Baseball stadium) there were four houses all together spread across the concession area.
1-Mummy Curse: It was neat they had "mummified bodies", snakes, and crates (like archaeologists use to ship parts and treasures in.) It was winding, like a maze, and there was frayed hemp hanging to give it a feel of creepiness. Along the way their were actors dressed as zombied priests and cursed archaeologists. This wasn't a bad set-up but they could have done more with it. More turns to dead ends, more mummies, more treasure... there were great places to hide but no-one was hiding.
2-Slaughter House: Okay this one had Great potential. The area was set up like you were moving through a decrepit old house. You entered the living room, complete with "rats" peeking out from beneath the broke down chair and couch. The lighting was muted so the room just had a cast of gloom to it, and on the walls (which were made up to look like they were falling apart complete with torn wall papers) was blood splatters, moving through you enter a narrow halway where photos shifted eerily and then suddenly you were in a kitchen - yup fridge door hanging open and gruesome stuff falling out of it...body parts. Off in a dark corner a maniacle butcher came aty you complete with bloodied cleavers (he went after my sister who is a stick and I laughed when she turned around and told him that he didn't want her, their was nothing but skin and bones LOL) The actor just sort of stopped and chuckled... the skeletin sitting at the dinner table was a noce touch... moving right along we went into the bathroom, body floating in murk water, and something rather gross with rats intoilet(nuff said) here there was an actress who poppedout at you, and off you went to the bedroom, which looked scary. I am still certain that the lump in the bed moved...through a narrow hall you end up in a "hanging dolly" garage complete with crazy ass man with a real freaking chainsaw....yup screamed when he jumped out and ran!
3-(by far the best) Insanity: Okay so the outside was decked to look like an old asylum, complete with dead nurse tour guide. Once through the doorway your immediately disoriented by the strobes, mirrors, and chain-link fence. Yup it was a maze in which the only light from the strobes and a couple eerily placed black lights. Okay there were chains, and medical like apparatus and a few escapees from the asylum runing amok, but it was he mirrored passage ways that were the killers, cause truly you didn't know what way you were going, we followed a couple turns into dead ends and finally managed to get into the bloodied sheet stips walk through (multiple strips of cloth hanging from the chain link fence above you head so you had to navigate through it) when we finally get into a nice dark area, no strobes your faced with the "tube" its one of those things that has a walkway through it but the tube rotates aound you so instead of looking like your going straight you look as if the walkway is moving, coupled with the lighting in the tube, and the mirrors it was "INSANE" I felt the world moving when I was meandering through it trying to keep our companion on her feet and upright... *THIS WAS THE BEST HOUSE*
4- (The big D as in disappointment) Black hole: The only cool thing about this one was the airbrushed artwork of aliens and the black light highlighting it in certain areas. For the most part it was a pitch black maze you used your hands to find your way through. (in the begining their were costumed individuals popping their heads out hide holes their masks glowed but that was all you saw... We fondly referred to this haunted maze/house as the nice little rape box, because it was that dark and anything could have happened. There were the few lit areas, but once past the beginning their were no more actors popping their heads out, you were just wandering, and tripping over people in the dark, the only sounds were others hitting the walls as the tried to get the heck out of their...
Ah well this coming weekend its the Vallens Haunted Mill and/or Screams at Southtown(this is another set of four haunted houses put on by the same people who did the Fear at Frontier)... LOL one is never too old for haunted houses!

Wow. I'm not much of a haunted house person myself. The last one I went into, the smell of the spray paint that they used made me ill, and I almost blacked out. As it was I couldn't see so I had a monster helping me through the maze. People were scared though. They kept screaming that monster is stealing that girl!!
I will be going to the pumpkin patch on Sat. We were supposed to go this last weekend, but the rain was HORRIBLE! 'Tis the season I guess.

I love Haunted Houses! Though, I haven't been to one in a while. Though what I really want to do is go see the Winchester Mystery House, During the month of Oct. They do flashlight tours of the place. They basically give you flashlights, pair you up with someone, then let you loose lol.
