I've started thinking of Halloween now that the leaves are falling.
Even though the temp today is 28 degrees and set to continue into October! And as I was arsing about I found this thread. Wondered if anyone had been to any of these places, or had a personal experience with this kind of place. I am looking to be scared vicariously.

Are you guys talking about fakey fun haunted houses or houses that are supposed to be really haunted?
I'd love to go to one. It's been years. A fake one, I mean. A 'real' one? I could be persuaded. |

For me?
BOTH. See my earlier post. I am like un unbroken colt - skittish and easily spooked. I can scare myself just in my own head; once an outside agency is involved I will scream. Really loudly. Without the relief of laughter afterwards. I will scream for eternity like a madwoman. Or so I suspect. ETA - the houses mentioned do not look like fun to me. But yes, they are fake. I might be better off in a real place, as I honestly do not believe in an afterlife.

I don't believe in ghosts so I'd happily go to a real haunted house. But fake haunted houses. no way. nuh-huh. not happening.

Monster, when you get international sponsorship, I'll spend the night in a real haunted house with you.
We're both sceptics, but I'll be the shrieky one. We can tie it in with a programme/ book about ex-pats vs stay-behinds. Or those who love the Barrowman and those who don't. Or kids vs cats. You know the score - nothing about "real" people is complete without some sort of ideological conflict.

Argh!
In that case I wonder if Diz is "their" agent, as he jumps on me near every night, waking me up. Although sometimes I wake myself up, trying to scream. I call that a nightmare, although I know other people are more fluid in their definition. I haven't had one for months now.

I have been in real haunted houses on a number of occasions, and fun ones only occasionally.
Friends of mine operate a haunt for the homeless at Halloween. They rip their house to pieces to bring this off.

Mansfield Prison is on my list this year. Going to drag the new g/f along with, even if she has to wear a pair of Depends.

Bullitt, I never thought I'd feel pity for a lady you dated.
But I do now...
