you can only exit if you ask a stranger for directions
"I guess this is my home now"
I would die.
And then the house would be haunted by me.
The person that texts "call me" is a true monster!
At work I prefer being asked to call a college than if they just call me out of the blue
That person is getting ignored until they provide more detail.
yep. there are precious few people who would get a call back, and if they misrepresented the urgency, they get a warning about crying wolf, and if they keep doing it, it gets treated less and less urgently and then eventually ignored. for some people, that drop is a vertical line
Depending on the person, I don’t even want the text.
If you want to totally mess up a haunted house when ever someone jumps out ask them a unrelated question.
"I will eat your brains!"
"where was your last vacation?"
"my family is dead and soon you will join them"
"what is 10x15+7?"
Most people will stop acting and think of the answer completely destroying the effect of the haunted house.
Haunted houses already feel like that for me.
Oh, the guy in the pig mask has a chainsaw, should I pretend to be scared for him, what if he thinks I’m not enjoying it? That’s pretty loud, hope he has hearing protection… Oh okay he’s trying to chase me, I guess I’m supposed to run away? Oh, now he looks let down and is just shaking the saw and gesturing, I’ll keep moving I guess.
The only time I've ever really enjoyed the haunted house is when I and my friend went in with my sister and her friends, because they're all hysterical and mad. You know the type that have a panic attack if they see a spider in the room. But we just spent the time laughing at their responses.
Right at the end they had a corner that you went around and on the other side was just a mirror, they got themselves still worked up by that point but they jumped at their own reflections.
