Seeing this brings back good memories of me and my best buddy working together in a haunted house back in college. We had a great time scaring the crap out of people, literally. I made people piss themselves, run away screaming bloody murder, and run straight into a wall because they panicked. My friend made someone pass out in front of him, he felt bad and apologized to the bosses for fear of getting in trouble but they said he deserves a raise instead. We worked together in our own room changing up how we approached each year. He’s 7’ and I’m 6’5” so that presence alone in a darkened room and a strobe light freaked people out. We would hide right under the strobe and be virtually invisible. Something like this gif happened a few times where people would be freaking out and lost their orientation and not know what to do, we would guide them and sometimes continue scaring. This was especially true in some cases where if they had a specific fear of who we were dressed as(I was Jason for example) we would take shortcuts through the maze and get ahead of them and scare them even more. It was really a fun time and the pay wasn’t bad. Also made for interesting talk on my resume!

I have worked at a haunt for 13 years, I even got married there! Fun times

I'll see if I can find my pictures in my external hard drives for pictures of the haunted trail I took that we worked on

I loved working as a monster in a haunted house. Yes, I did get punched but the apologies were worth it and scares supreme.

Yep. Am a puncher. Felt horrible, kicked a dude lurking in the bushes to scare trick or treaters. Violence is my first reaction to a lot.

This is what worries me. If I get genuinely scared my reaction might just be to punch whatever scares me. Monkey brain goes bananas.

Getting punched is kind of an expected occupational hazard at these places. It's called fight or flight for a reason
