#Halloween Scare: My Haunted House Experience 👻
Are you ready for a spine-chilling Halloween scare? Gather around as I recount my unforgettable experience as a volunteer actor in a charity haunted house 30 years ago. Get ready for some thrills, laughs, and a few surprises along the way!
##The Setting: A Major Production in the Big City
Picture this: a massive haunted house production in the heart of a bustling city. This wasn’t just a couple of low-budget rooms with cheesy decorations. We’re talking about a full-on haunted house extravaganza that was sure to leave a lasting impression on all who dared to enter.
###My Role: The Wounded Victim
As a volunteer actor, my role was to play the part of a mortally wounded victim in one of the first rooms of the haunted house. I had to lie facedown on the ground, moaning and muttering warnings for the unsuspecting tour group to “turn back” before it was too late.
####The Encounter: Drunk Kids and a Close Call
One fateful night, a group of rowdy, intoxicated kids stumbled into the haunted house, laughing and talking loudly about how unimpressed they were with the scares so far. Some of them even mistook me for an animatronic prop due to the dim lighting in the room.
But things took a turn for the worse when one of the kids decided to take things too far. In a moment of recklessness, he aimed a pretend kick at my head, narrowly missing by a couple of inches. I stayed in character, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
###The Reveal: A Roaring Surprise
As the group of kids passed by me, I seized my opportunity to make my move. With lightning speed, I rolled over and sprang up into a sitting position right next to them, letting out a deafening roar that echoed throughout the room.
The reaction was priceless. The kids performed a collective triple take, their faces contorted in a mixture of shock, fear, and disbelief. Hands and knees shot up in a defensive posture as they scrambled to make a hasty retreat towards the nearest “it’s too scary” exit.
##The Sweet Taste of Victory
As the kids fled the room, screaming and shouting, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction wash over me. Pulling off the perfect scare was a rewarding experience, and I knew that I had succeeded in my mission to give them a Halloween scare they would never forget.

“Dirty shorts, party of three, your exit is ready.”
Hope they were wearing their brown underwear that day.
Wish I could have been a fly on the wall for this 🤣🤣🤣
Excuse me sirs, you left a puddle behind……
Years ago when scare actors were just getting into being “live” exhibits I visited an attraction with my family.
So I’d kinda walked ahead of my parents when I noticed this monk hiding in an alcove, so i ignore him. My mum walks past and he taps her on the shoulder, she didn’t half scream. Lol.
Another one I was with my girlfriend at the time visiting York dungeon (here in York in the U.K.)
She’s a bit scared so I’m holding her hand.
One of the actors jumps out and she takes one look, scrams and bolts. I just stood there laughing as he takes his mask off “is she alright mate ?”
“Yeah I’ll go catch her up”
I ran after her, past the entrance point where the two staff members were wondering why two visitors are running out.
I eventually caught up with her and got her calmed down. I then went back to the dungeon and explained the situation who thought it was funny too.
Lovely story, great job. Reminds me of another story.
We have an animatronic gorilla in the city near where I live that advertises a business. (No idea what business, I’ve never paid attention.) Looks like a person in a gorilla suit when they activate it. Apparently, some kids in town decided it would be a fun activity to trash it one night. They didn’t notice the security cameras that cover the gorilla. All 3 were charged with destruction of property after a news story showing their faces in glorious detail, asking if anyone recognized them.
From what I can gather, the gorilla is such a fixture in town that the people that live there were outraged that anyone would touch it, much less try to destroy it, so tips were phoned in abundantly telling police exactly who the boys were. I guess their parents didn’t teach them that if they played stupid games, they would win stupid prizes, but law enforcement sure taught them the lesson.
