As we all know, Halloween is right around the corner, (remember the part where we anxiously await the end of the night so that we can raid our kids' candy buckets?) This time of year, along with the anticipation of hoarding candy, many of us visit our local corn maze or haunted house. I remember visiting haunted houses as a teenager and getting the "you-know-what" scared out of me.
You always have the chainsaw wielding, Jason mask-wearing scary man, and the ghosts and murderers jumping out of dark corners...If you think about it, there is only so much variation on the themes of a haunted house, and only so many scenarios in which to enlist, but year after year we continued to be frightened by the same things like it is the first time. It is a bit like the typical scene in a horror movie where the girl hears a noise in a completely blacked out home with no cellphone coverage, and always searches for the source of the scary noise in the darkness asking "who goes there" as she approaches her doom. We are all victims of our own need for adrenaline in the "safe" fear of haunted houses and horror flics! So maybe part of the anticipation of Halloween is sugar coma...but the other part is an adrenaline rush from haunted houses!
Well. I don't know if you have ever had a photo taken of you in mid-scream? If you have visited a good theme park with scariness, they usually have the hidden cameras to snap the photos and let me tell you, it is pure gold. There is nothing like watching someone "lose it" and fall ungracefully (unhurt, of course) to bring about a good belly laugh, but there is the photo of someone's genuine fear response that is classic and also arouses a good bout of laughter and finger-pointing...
Thank you Nightmare's Fear Factory for that camera in the darkened corner...
Okay, really?
Now you see what they mean by a picture says a thousand words?
Just make sure if you get a little spooked this Halloween, that you look good when you scream your head off, because there may be a camera involved...
Happy Halloween! And if you want to see an entire collection of pure funny, then go to Nightmares Fear Factory facebook page! This Haunted House is located in Niagara Falls, Canada and it looks like they may have a little variation on that theme I was talking about earlier. Or maybe not, maybe these faces are a response to a chainsaw wielding teenager with a Jason mask on, in a dark corner....
