Hmm, not so long as last year. We were stalked by a few monsters, they had a few rooms that made me dizzy but they had a fog machine that was making WAY too much fog and you couldn't see or breath through it. The scares were more startle-scare, in your face scream than anything else. The whole house was a maze, but it didn't take long to walk to walk through since the building they managed to get was so small. It was pretty good- but I wish it was better (remember- I waited all year for this).
Oh- I guess I didn't mention how they only got the building last week because of this idiotic halloween store that stole what was their haunt location last year and the year before that. If they didn't find a building that week they would have given up- breaking a now fourty-one year old tradition. At any rate, they made the rooms in a week. Sound easy? Try designing rooms, getting materials, making comercial grade art work, rigging up sound, lighting, building the maze and gathering actors (
if I wasn't sick that day... >.<) in one week. Oh- did I mention they started with an empty building, there had to be actor doors and back-stage rooms AND every thing had to be fire-proofed? Still easy?
Oh- and there was this room with checkered EVERYTHING and strobe lights. This guy started to fallow us there (we could never see him) but he went cackling after us the enire house. Still, the best room was this room wth a really bloody girl with bloody hands (the whole room was bloody, hand prints, splatches, you name it) screaminging into a mirror "BLOODY MARY, BLOODY MARY, BLOODY MARY!" the she would bang as hard as she could all over the sink, walls and mirriors when you were least expecting it.
Released photos (You can't take any):
^Indoor waiting (They had more pictures) with the lights on^
^First wall of maze (with the lights on)
Soo that's it for that one....

Now the Creatures of the night at brookfeild zoo (What a drive that was XD... twenty minute drive with best buddies!
LOL, this was more funny than scary. We went on a haunted tram ride, visited the Terrors 'underneath' house (about a dig site gone horribly wrong) and went through the corn maze. My six year old niece went in the house with my friends and I and it scared the wits out of her (it wasn't too scary, but it was the scariest part). I had to hug her the whole time and keep on telling the actors "Don't scare her, she's little. Please?" (they STILL got right in her face and I had to pick her up >.<).
Other than that- it was funny. They exicuted a pumpkin and I got a few people to yell "NOT GUILTY!" and "LIVE!" at the exicutioner. After they killed it (By brutally slamming a hard object on it from the impressive display above) we were allowed to go meet the exicutioner. This conversation began:
Me: The pumpkin was not guilty! What did it do to you?
Him: You mean sir Jack the Lantern? He looked at me, just like you are.
Me: -stares harder at him- Why did you make him suffer?
Him: His death was swift.
Me: But you made him anticipate it!
Him: That's the fun part -smile-
Afterwards the friends and I founded the PACF "People Against the Cruilty of Fruits".
Sooo..... yeah. : )
