    Because you'll end up on the internet.

    In somebody's flickr photostream. Making a less than flattering face.

    That brings back the memories.

    For 20+ years I turned my house into a free spook house at Halloween. I trained the first March of Dimes people when they were first considering a haunted house as a way of making money.

    I've had lines as long as 1,000 people out front while cameras from all 3 local networks filmed their 10:00 news live from my house.

    My monsters were allowed to touch!

    Those pics could have been from something as simple as a little kid showing up at the wrong time. Once you set the mood properly virtually anything can be scary.

    We never gave out candy, but we always ended up with 20-30 pounds of it. It seems candy must be some sort of universal monster poison since everyone threw candy at the monsters as if it would do any good.

    We always had 2-3 people pee all over themselves and someone who fell blubbering on the floor and couldn't get up even when we stepped "out of character".

    And the ones that were the most fun were the black people and the middle easterners. Apparently both have very vivid imaginations or else they have teachings that lean hard on the supernatural.

    The ones the toughest to scare- Jr. High kids.

    My sister in law helped me set the whole house up one night and then when she went thru it she tried to run thru my sliding glass door - 3 times! It's all in the mood.

    We did one for the High School drama department and I had the kids divide up in teams and design a vignette. Some of those kids were SICK! We had to stop the noise and escort several mothers out as they couldn't more forward or backwards.

    Ahh, those pics bring back the memories.

    My grandkids have been trying to rope me into turning their house into a spook house, I just might have to do it.

    I want to be involved in putting something like this on. That is just awesome.

    When I was in college in Monterey, a group of students set up a haunted house in what is quite possibly the best location ever to do so: The old, abandoned, run-down prison house on Fort Ord.

    They didn't do it justice. If just wasn't that scary. Problem was, pretty much all of the scenes were set up in cells as you walked past, and didn't actually involve you. Kind of a shame.

    That's hilarious . I wonder what they were seeing.

    Love the shots of big guys cowering behind their girlfriends, and then there's this poor fellow, who looks absolutely petrified!

    For additional lulz, imagine that they're seeing a giant penis waving at them.

    Depends on the crowd. Either way, it's stuff like this that makes October one of my favorite months. That and Challenge. I'd love to run a haunted house some day. I have some ideas, and some friends with engineering degrees.

    I find it extremely funny if you imagine they're looking at a gigantic hootus.

    Oops, mndsm beat me to it.

    The question is this, is he trying to cop a feel or get her to flash the cameras?

    I went to Universal Studios Freight Night in Orlando about 15 years ago. Going thru a spook house a cast member popped out of a window. All would have ben fine until he grabbed my wife's shoulder. I caught his arm and pulled him the rest of the way out of the window and forcefully to the ground. It dawned on me that we should leave the area before we were thrown out of the park. No I didn't strike him our hurt him in any way. I felt kinda bad later but it was a reaction to my perception that my wife was in danger. I haven't been back to one since.

    Halftrac, I love you.

    I haven't been to a haunted house that actually scared me in almost 10 years. I dunno, I just figured out nothing there is real or can hurt you. I think they're fun, but not scary.
