You're walking down a
dark hallway with a lantern flickering in the distance. The sound of
screams and squeals deafen in the darkness. The musty smell and cool dampness
in the air run shivers down your spine. As you try to find your way around a
maze of corners, you grapple with the thought that something gruesome is about
to appear or possibly won't appear. This anticipated fear can be a love/hate
euphoria feeling when going through a Halloween
Haunted House.
Haunted Houses have
always been popular with young and the old. People will actually wait in
line just so they can SCREAM! They
want the experience of creepy monsters, gory ghouls and evil creatures scaring
them silly.
Also in the
lineup, are the protectors, the smug jokesters and the big "fear nothing" tough
guys. The event is all for
pure entertainment and a celebrated Halloween tradition for some.
However, in my
experience, what's even better than a good scream is, without a doubt, being
the one on the reverse side. The one MAKING you scream. Yep, I was the
ugly spook lurking in corners and following behind you in the darkness.
