OFF TOPIC

OmGosh!

I was dragged to a haunted house tonight by my son, daughter and son-in-law. I got so scared, I almost peed my pants!

First, the person who took your tickets once inside, let out one creepy growl once she handed me back my ticket stub and got right in my face. Her eyes were blood red with no pupils!

Next, thing that scared me bad was this mutant gorilla thing that jumped out and grabbed me with one hand cupping my left breast. I felt not only scared but violated. I guess that wasn't supposed to happen, that's what I get for being short. :rolleyes:

It was completely dark, I'm talking pitch black when all of a sudden a hand was on my back and this scary voice was whispering in my ear, Hello momma! Don't be afraid, don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. I'm just going to play with you for a little while. Then was breathing hot breath on my neck. What the heck? Next thing I know, this dead body catapults through the air and lands on my shoulder!

Next, it was pretty dark and we're walking down this narrow hallway and then Headlights pop on blinding me and a horn is beeping and this firetruck is coming right at me.

There were so many frightening things, I can't even remember them all. The last thing that scared me was coming around a corner, this dude with a chainsaw running jumps out at me and I guess I jumped up but didn't land right because the next thing I know, I'm on the floor and my legs are like they're running, but I was going nowhere being on the floor and all. My daughter came around the corner, pulled me up by my arm and we ran out screaming!

It was seriously very scary and here I was thinking that it was going to be lame.

Anyway, let me see if I can find something about it online as it supposed to be the biggest haunted house around or something. Hang on.

Okay, I found something.

Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

  It wasn't a person, it was an animated robot thingy.

  Sounds like classic young adult psychology at work here:
  "Hey, guys, check it out. I'm going to dress up and act like an animatronic gorilla and cop cheap feels. When someone complains, tell 'em I'm just a robot or something. Quiet! Here comes a really short one. I'm going to try to milk her."

I miss the Corn Maze out by Boise - same thing but it's in a corn field with paths that take you to bridges across creeks and into small outbuildings - it's pretty spooky. I love Halloween.

She learned that move from the Three Stooges. If you leave her on the floor she'll run in circles.

Terra - you did notice there's not blades in the chainsaw, right? LOL. I just watched the video and was really impressed with the set up they have. That one looks like it would top the cornfield fav of mine. It's got a few pieces of technology the cornfield doesn't. The field has a real moon, though. Humans get entertainment in strange ways, don't they?

Hmmm,

Okay, I found their official website and they have some more videos on it.

Haunted Pontiac

Satisfied? I'm not sure. Half of me says, Heck Yeah, I'm going again next year and the other half says, No frickin' way, what if I do actually pee my pants next time? Haha!

@Sal and Dennis

Very funny you two! I guess it would be funny to see it on video though. I must admit it would probably be hilarious.

Seriously, about half way through, even though it was very cold, I broke out into a sweat, I was short of breath, my throat hurt from screaming and I had heart palps!

Ohhh yeah! I'll do it again next year!

Terra

It's never quite the same the second time around. Maybe they'll change things up but you will still know the type of stuff to expect.

Going to the corn maze was never as spooky as it was the first time, but they had a lot of great perks like a bonfire and hot drinks and things of that sort. For the little ones there was a kiddy maze aside from the haunted maze. It was pretty neat all the way around.

Seriously, after you purchase your tickets, you have to go through another line waiting for admission into the the beginning of the haunted house area. Up on the wall they have a whiteboard with tallies of wimps and peed pants.

There were 43 wimps so far this year, people who wimped out part way through and 17 people who actually peed their pants during. Haha!

Outside, they have a long row of portable johns at the end of the parking area, before you cross the street to the haunted house. As much as I hate those things, I think if I go again next year, I'd rather hit one of those beforehand rather than wear a depends brief.

The website is like a mini haunted house. If you visit the site, don't scroll down for a while and enjoy the ghosts that appear out of thin air, just stare at the header for a bit.
