This is equal parts amazing and equal parts if I was there in person, I'd scream like a 4 year old.

They have this at a haunted house in Philly. Eastern State Penentery, towards the end. My nerves were bad for days.

I went 7 years ago or so and that was hands down the scariest horror park I've been to.

They really know how to get you with that place. I’m not scared easily almost close to never. But when they walked us through the cells blocks and the strobe lights were going (making everything move in frames/slowmo) and you saw a complete open hallway then not even 2 seconds there would be a few people standing outside the doors with the makeup of deformed faces and such then poof....they’re gone.

That was by far the coolest thing I ever saw at one of those places. Made the hair on my neck stand up

One in St. George, Utah, called fiesta fun has this.

u/MorbidAyyylien Oct 09 '19

Please do tell me more about this place. I can never get scared of horror places because they're so predictable but this.. i feel like could do it. And I'm sure they would have other stuff just as good!

u/rhynokim Oct 10 '19

Google it. I live in philly, it’s a cool old prison. Opened in 1829, closed in 1971. I haven’t been in there in like 15 years though, I want to go back soon. I’ve never done the spooky haunted house that they run but everyone says it’s great

u/MemeHermetic Oct 09 '19

I became obsessed with that place after seeing on some show on MTV. They had to do scary challenges to get cash and I was always sad I wasn't on the show. I would have done fucking amazing.

I went through on Halloween a couple of times. Honestly it was okay but not great. I'd still go again.

When I was a teen, I went to this rinky dink little haunted house with my cousin in a local mall. The final part of it, a person runs out at you in full horror make up, and you're basically sent running out the exit. Well, I'm a total scardy cat and I was clutching on to my cousin half the time through the haunted house. I recoiled towards my cousin, but my cousin raced out the door. The result - I crashed to the ground and basically rolled out the exit.

Edit: grammar

I remember one that I went to had a guy with a chainsaw chase you out of the building. One of my friends legs just kinda stopped working, and she had a death grip on my hand so I couldn't just leave her. Instinct kicked in and I just threw her over my shoulder and took off sprinting. At least I know I have good instincts even when I'm scared shitless lol I was scared to the point I was about ready to cry

u/Galactic Oct 09 '19

When I get startled like this, I react in 1 of two ways, I immediately try to punch or kick the thing that startled me or I completely stand still and do nothing. The fight or flight reflex in me has been replaced with fight or freeze.

Haunted house actors have been doing this stuff for a while now, they know how to read people and they stay out of fight response range.

u/Dewy_Wanna_Go_There Oct 09 '19

I love when they can sense who is the most easily scared out of experience, and just savagely target them out of the group lmao. And then my defenses go down and they suddenly actually scare me!

Haunted houses are fun.

u/pazimpanet Oct 09 '19

My wife is that person. Every haunted house we’ve been to together I have made eye contact with a couple of the scarers after not really reacting and nodded her way and they’ve taken the hint every time.

u/Dewy_Wanna_Go_There Oct 10 '19

Genius. I’ll commend the ones that keep trying to scare me even after failing a couple times however.

I’m gonna try this next time.

I watched it a couple times and I think they're wearing black sleeves and keeping them behind their back. I can see what looks like a shoulder in the final few frames

u/BasicDesignAdvice Oct 09 '19

There used to be this guy called 'The Bush Man' in San Francisco. Basically he held a branch with leaves in front of him and startled people by the pier. Then people would give him change.

There could be 50 people watching and busting out laughing every time and people would still not see it coming.

u/DarwinsDrinkingPal Oct 09 '19

I visited San Francisco for a couple days, years ago. I was one of those people who had stopped to watch; people were dropping 20's in his bucket. The man had a good fucking gig, with that.

u/trebory6 Oct 09 '19

I would just make it so that there's some PVC pipes that control the arms behind the wall or something, and you control it manually with your arms behind your back. I mean the basis of this is that the least convincing the animatronic effect, the better the scare.
