Def. going to 7 floors of Hell this year.. I love haunted houses:reaper:
|
not far from reading......
|
I doubt I would be able to walk through one of these even if you paid me. Even reading the website literally made me shudder.
As well as being skittish and easily spooked in general, I have a long standing belief that if I saw something too scary my mind would simply snap and I would spend the rest of my days in a vegetative state. (For the record the Jekyll & Hyde family restaurant in New York freaked me out... to the disgust of the children who entered at the same time as us) So saying, I spent hours sitting in a bar in Blackpool where the haunted house exited, laughing in sheer delight at the people who piled out, terrifed. I'd love to have a window on a haunted house, just to watch people braver than me running scared. Edited to add - I've just seen that 7 Floors of Hell has a Haunted Circus. That means.... killer clowns.... right? I'm going to have to hide under my desk now. |
I just have one word to say to you:
BOO |
I've yet to go through a haunted house that actually scared me. I've had them raise my blood pressure and get me tense, waiting for the next goon to go "blearghhgh". But without fail, all they make me feel is the urge to punch the monsters in the mouth (not that I could cause any physical harm, what with the arthritis and all). It feels weird being herded through there though.
I would get a lot more scared if the place was empty and people weren't screaming, and they only had someone jump out on random occasions -- like once a week. Empty haunted houses are creepy. |

You just reminded me why I stopped going after the age of 16! All the screaming and yelling. The tenseness. It is all comming back to me now. :right: It WOULD be very cool to be alone in one of those places with just the hint of someone there but not being annoying and over dramatic. |

St. Edward State Park 14445 Juanita Dr NE, Kenmore, WA Visitors have seen and heard the laughter of playing children, though the park seems deserted. |
I have a book called "Haunted Leicester" - if anyone is ever in this part of the world I'll take you on a tour of supposed sites of hauntings. I daren't go alone.
I recommend the Haunted London walking tours to anyone there. We might not be able to match the special effects of US "Haunted Houses" but we have a capital city steeped in bloody history :) |
My wheelchair never fits in them.
All going accomplishes does is makes them feel bad. |
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. |
Absolutely no fucking way in any form of hell will I go in one of those. jus' sayin'
|
Yeah, me too.
Ghost Stories (Cellar link) was my limit. |
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.
|
Actually i did make it through the one at Disneyland.
But that was for little kids so no-one jumped out at you |
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. |
One of my fav times of year. I can go to the store and people don't think I am weird.

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... |

Really? These are spooky places in your neighborhood? Wow. I've been so, ignorant, so insensitive. So carefree. Now I will live in fear. Great. Thanks. |
I actually was just reading about this on Yahoo this morning. I haven't been here yet and honestly, I don't think I want to go either. :eek:

I'm scared by the lack of paragraphs.
Ow! Ow! My EYES! |
Clinton Road - so scary it's named after a Democrat!!
that's a nice bit of Jersey lore there, BeeDee. Thanks! Love the scary this time of year! |
And then there's this by the side of the road I drove a couple of weeks back. http://cellar.org/attachment.php?att...1&d=1317500874

dave you crack me up!

Sorry BDE - that was not directed at you. :o
I lived in central jersey for three years. Its actually a beautiful state. The northern part was ruined by the New York overflow. The southern beaches are great when the tourists (NY'ers) are gone. The oceans have been over-fished by people who just wanna catch and kill as many as they can with little regard for sport. Did I miss anything? ETA - Oh wait - its got great gas prices! |
Quote:
So we were neighbors for 3 years? I actually wish I could move further south. I would love to be at the beach all year. Maybe someday. |
beach = super pics!

Stumbled across these haunted house reaction shots on flickr.
Attachment 34452 It's fun to browse through them and look at the dynamics of the different groups. And here's one poor girl that went through by herself. |
Keep scrolling and you'll come to one where there is someone in the photo who wasn't there in real life....
It's the ghost of someone who died from a heart attack the previous year. It's true. My cousin's husband's best friend's daughter emailed it to me. |
Very funny but the comments are brutal. Brutal. very funny, but brutal.
|
i wanna know what theyre all seeing!
|
Your junk.
|
i would have remembered that. most women just pass out.. there's not a lot of screaming or eyes bulging....
|
How bout the dudes?
|
let's just stop this now. I'm becoming uncomfortable with the imagery/.
|
One of the comments said they were reacting to a "speeding car" coming straight at them.
It's pitch black, they are holding on to one another as they shuffle blindly forward, and then a pair of headlights comes straight at them, probably with a roaring engine sound too. |
ah.... yeah.. that'd startle ya.
|
One of these was used for a Fark Photoshop contest
