Haunted House Anyone?

While surfing around on azcentral.com I came across an amusing “How to” guide. This particular guide was “How to Survive a Haunted House”. It gave me the Do’s and Don’ts of how to go through a haunted house. Some of these tips are really funny but great advice nonetheless! Here are just a few of the tips mentioned and if you would like more check out azcentral.com and click on the “Things to do” tab.

Do know that the actors at the houses can't touch you. They can scream and chase you with chain saws, but that's as far as it goes.

Do practice calming exercises while standing in line. Be prepared for the sensory-manipulation scare tactics, like low lighting and misdirection, used by haunted house creators.

Don't close your eyes the whole time. It would be a shame to waste hard-earned money by missing out on what you paid to see.

Do wear comfortable shoes. Standing in line to get into a house of horror and running out of it take up most of the night. Don't be the cliche scary-movie character who trips and falls when the bad guy's hot on her heels.

Don't act scared. The actors are trained to find and frighten the vulnerable people. Try being the first one to go into a room; odds are they'll target the person behind you.

Now that we’re in the awesome month of October, be sure to try and hit up one of the many haunted houses/mazes that the Valley has to offer. Some scary haunted houses include The Gauntlet, The Nest, and Arizona’s Original Scream Park. These are just a few out of the Many offered this October and for more info check out azcentral.com, so get out there and get scared!!!!
