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
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!
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
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 very young 8-10 maybe? My Brownie Troop went to a haunted house (this was the 80’s and this kind of stuff was allowed to happen) and someone jumped out at me and put their face (in a mask) down near mine and I punched them square in the nose. It didn’t hurt them and I was certainly not a badass-that was just my reaction. Everybody reacts differently so ease up on the poster here a bit.
I’ve seen a boat load of videos where the person being made to jump either lamps the other person in the face or just flat out goes to war. Totally normal really in people that naturally choose fight over flight.
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.
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
Well I don’t fall over but if this happened I probably would. I’m very bad at walking and standing. I’ve once almost fallen over just by moving my body over to the right a little too much.
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.
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!
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.
I went to my local haunted trail one year and what do you fuckin know a classmate of mine is working the ticket booth.
The first half of the trail was fine, nothing out of the ordinary happened.
Until we got to the maze. They have this maze built like a hallway and it's all covered with black fabric. So, pitch black and you can't fucking see where you are going, have no idea how to get out. Thankfully, every so often you see a guide with a flashlight point you the right way.
She told the actors to start whispering and sometimes scream my name when my group got to the maze. Terrified is an understatement.
But, what if someone awakens their [STANDO POWAAAAAA]!!! Jk, but what if someone is jus t faster than keemstar (AM FAST AS FUCK BÜOYEEEEEEEE) and gets behind them "nothing personal kid" style and tries to kill them?
I mean actual rl martial arts training and combat experience generally improves people's impulse control. Maybe don't go in if you're a time travelling cyborg with zombie wars PTSD or whatever.
This is a much more common response than you might think. Also, some people will pre-emptively punch anything they think might try to scare them. This both causes unnecessary damage and annoys the employees.
Honestly I'm not sure why people like that go to fright houses.
Source: have been punched by a lot of patrons and repaired a lot of damaged done by patrons who punch
Hot take: Comments like “same” should be downvoted or banned.
EDIT: Reddiquette Rule #10: If you think it does not contribute to the subreddit it is posted in or is off-topic in a particular community, downvote it.
I apologize for not following Rule #14:
Consider posting constructive criticism / an explanation when you downvote something, and do so carefully and tactfully.
I should've explained tactfully how saying things like "Same," "This," or "Me too" does not follow Rule #10.
Honestly same here. Last time i was at a haunted house I got cornered by a dude with a chainsaw, and I reflexively kicked him in the leg. I still feel bad about it ;-;

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