As someone not out to
deliberately scare herself, I was never really into haunted houses, and I’m
sure my parents never offered to take me to one. I imagine I did go to a couple
in my youth; I don’t remember vividly. Certainly I went on haunted-house–themed
amusement park rides.
But since moving to
Vermont, I’ve gone to quite a few, usually because I’ve had friends involved in
their production. Both my ability to understand that this is all put on AND
seeing my friends act in “scary” roles elevates it to humor and entertainment.
Even in that old jailhouse.
Still, I hate deep
darkness. I don’t want to be the first in the group, and I don’t want to be dead
last.
Dead last is definitely to be avoided.
ReplyDeleteI should move to Vermont. I love haunted houses.
And I have such creative friends.
DeleteHow do we get you to think of something other than death?
