“Unmasking the Scares: 50 Haunt Workers Reveal the Shocking Moments That Made Them Lose It!”
As a haunted house customer…
I walked into a room full of female performers dressed as asylum inmates, with crazy hair and tattered straightjackets and everything, all muttering “They’re here, they’re coming,” stuff like that. One got right up and glared at me and for some reason my brain said “So… what time do you get off?” I definitely saw a little crack-up.
I thought I had a pretty good shot at it until the guy with the chainsaw got her.
As a haunted house customer…
My Type 1 diabetic girlfriend and I were waiting to enter and begin the actual house. This was after the line to get in and the holding area for parties to be able to go together. There was this big demon tree thing that had an actor actually talking to us.
“Tell me, mortals. What do you think your souls taste like?”
I looked to my girlfriend. Just a sheepish grin and a shrug. Then I chime in and respond
“Well, I don’t know about me, but her soul would be pretty sweet because she has diabetes.”
“…. That’s…..awful.”
Still one of our favorite memories but that whole evening was just lovely and pleasant.
I made someone break character. I went to the local haunted house on a date. The guy and I got to the haunted hotel and outside of it a family stopped him and started to ask how his wife and kids were! He told them they had the wrong person but he put his hood up and rushed us inside. He then proceeded to go so fast that I got lost and said “f**k this, he probably IS married” and frankly I was a little annoyed at his allusions to favors in corn mazes.
I found a cast member and quietly asked for the staff exit.
