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'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

Why do people always think ghosts are impolite?

I work at a haunted house every October! It's the best. This season is going to be lit AF

When I was little at six flags, I growled at a mummy and he gave a high five. It was awesome

I miss working at haunted houses so much, just getting to come up with a character and scare the crap out of people was the greatest!

irrationally aggressive. I knocked over and then stomped on some ghost woman. I still feel really bad about it. She was fine but still.

Fight or Flight, we were warned about it and received our share of punches and kicks

@OP I went to a “18+” haunted house (titties and more blood) and we were in an open room and I pointed at the ghille suit on the floor 1/2

Working in a haunted house has made me immune to all others, I went to a few and would perfectly predict where they would be for jump scares

As a kid in early 60's I put appliance boxes into a long snaky crawl tube in basement filled with surprises such as wet noodles hanging

In one of those as a kid, and a monster picked me up and roared. I screamed, and another monster said, "Don't worry, that's just my dad".

I took my son thru a haunted house in gatlinburg once and he was so scared during the pitch black maze that a lady helped us thru it. Nice.

I’ve been in 2 HHs (peer pressure) and for the life of me I’ll never understand their appeal.
DesperateDunn365
Same. Maybe I went to a bad one but it wasn't in the least bit scary.
FloatingOnACloudOfTitties
I agree w/ u! I hate them, but to each their own; They are obviously popular for a reason…?♀️

I loved working as a monster in a haunted house. Yes, I did get punched but the apologies were worth it and scares supreme.
fedupwithhumanity
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.
TheAnswerWasAlwaysMoreLube
This is what worries me. If I get genuinely scared my reaction might just be to punch whatever scares me. Monkey brain goes bananas.

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

You should tell us some stories. When you have time of course.
TerriblePokemon
The people who work in haunted houses are the kind of people who are *almost* too unstable to be cooks in chain restaurants. Shit gets wild.

I second !

Yes, I would enjoy that a lot

Perhaps someday I will, there’s quite a few funny things. For instance someone accidentally jamming their whole finger up my friends nose

Yeah 4 years old is way too young, the one we worked at had a minimum age which I think was 10 or so

I worked in a haunted forest (house) as a teen & the only time I broke character was when 2 Seahawks & their wives came through

Matt Hasselback & Darrel Jackson came through so I jumped out to do my thing but recognized them & shouted holy shit while face planting. I

I went to a Jack the Ripper themed 'haunted house' in London years ago. It was really well done and scary as hell, almost too much
