after the haunted house. One example of this was when I told a group of second or third grade girls that I was laying on the floor in the locker room. The response that I received was “You were not, do you know what is on that floor! People these day laying on the floor that is disgusting!” I could not help but laugh because her response sounded like something that an adult would say. Most of my conversations were about what I was dressed up like and where I was in the haunted house.…
people started to pour in we turned on a fog machine. The fog smelt like caramel. The smell of caramel did not do the musty wood any favors. The smell was something like moldy caramel with wet wood chips in it lit on fire it was not pleasant. The house was supposed to close at 11:00 instead we scared people till 12:39. Around 11:15 Dominos pizza came and the only room it could sit in was ours. When I had a chance I would go and get my cold water bottle and let the ice cold water flow over my…
Full disclosure, the first time Great America opened Halloween Haunt I worked there and it was scary; probably because it was new. This year Times videographer, Hugo Legend and I attended Great America’s Haunt for media day. The free tickets, dinner and exclusive VR experience were a nice gesture but our initial haunt experience was underwhelming. Granted we opted out of visiting the mazes, which I know from having gone through them in the past, are creative and if you’re into that sort of…

Lock- in Scare Have you ever convinced your friends you were a ghost? In the middle of a stormy night, I became a ghost. At the junior high lock- in, I gave my friends Nicole, Olivia, Anna, and Brittney the scare of a lifetime. The creaky stage in memorial hall gym will always make me shiver, due to the memory of my ghost encounter. I never knew how frightening I could be. Even though I was the ghost in the situation, there was another unexplained phenomenon. About every thirty seconds the radio…
What’s Your Favorite Type of Halloween Candy? By Mikayla Honeywell What’s your favorite type of halloween candy? Personally mine is all things chocolate. The satisfying smell of the freshly opened chocolate, the sweetness you taste, and the extra energy it gives you. I love all of that about it. To begin with I just love the smell of chocolate. It smells like a sweet thing of joy. The smell prepares you to bite into a sweet tasting snack. Sure it has sugars but I know it’s worth it. The…

The campus is said to have a ghostly past that dates back to the 1840s. The author said he was close to his last semester of graduate school and he was living in a dorm. Connected to the dorm…
College Essay Workshop Practice: Object In Room Skeletons are often thought of as frightening, scary, and creepy objects because of their close and obvious association with death. To most, they are things that belong six feet under in a grave, in a doctor's office, or out on a porch as a Halloween decoration. But not for me. Ever since I was seven years old I have proudly displayed a fifty-four inch tall model skeleton in the most prominent location of my room, on top of my dresser. This is not…
attend in order for everything to pan out. I am a busy bee and prefer to have everything complete a week in advance. Having to wait to meet up at a decent time or get in the haunted house was stressful. I was pleased with everyone being present at the announced meeting times. When it was time to get inside the haunted house, my group wasted no time. It was unreal how our finished product looked like something off a horror movie. I could not imagine if we would have thrown everything aside as in…
