More Haunted House Blah Blah Blah (ripped a review that I like from a blog)

So I was browsing reviews of the haunted house, because hearing that people got freaked gets me psyched out for work. Here's one I stole from a blog on GiantBomb.com

Backwoods

This one was in the wooded area. And had the common theme of creepy country folk hillbilly people...

The only light sources provided are those of glowsticks. They aren't that large, either. But they have you go in groups of around 12, with 4 or 5 glowsticks sprinkled through. They only lit up about 2-3 feet in front of you if you held them up above your head, but then that made you look like a target. T_T

Granted, this was really neat because you had to follow the pathway and they had different scenarios set up. The first you encounter is an enlarged outhouse. My cousin Patrick went in and we just watched him instead. (Even the people we didn't know. We were all pansies. Yep.) And he didn't see the guy in the back corner, I was the first to see him so I screamed and bolted past everyone. >.> Ditching the nearly 9 year old... >.>;; Don't judge me, shit was scary.

They had homes that belonged to all kinds of crazy people. Like a hunter with animal bodies and furs dangling all over the ceiling. The hunter himself was scary as hell and blocked the doorway andandandandand... D: Just all kinds of heeeeeeeebeeeeeeeeeejeebees. (It needed the emphasis, you weren't there!) There was the demented mechanic's place, but I had a tough time because scared there. It was Scooter's Auto and Body Shop. So of course I giggled. C'mon and catch a riiide! Only my sister understood the reference. Anyways, what followed were abandoned homes with creaky windows, a mobile home with an old woman who sang songs and yelled at people, men in ghillie suits who just crept up out of no where, and a house with a woman behind a shower curtain. Her silhouette alone was terrifying and seeing another appear behind her to take her out... D:

There were children in the last house just sitting and chanting and praying and then you go into their closet, with clothes you have to dodge (random body parts included!), where you encounter a giant steel door. This was the home of their boogey man. I didn't see him, I just heard him rev up a chainsaw and I was out of there. Finally was away enough to catch my breath, but they had another surprise just to fuck with people. I'll leave this one at that.

This one by far was the most terrifying of the 5. Even though we were with a big group, they had a lot of great actors in this part, chase scenes, and quite a bit of believable variety. The Kurayami gets to you when you're by yourself, this one doesn't matter the size of the group. This haunted attraction had a scary good execution (Lul, execution. I'm so punny.) and was good at giving the spooks.

I'd have to give this one a 10/10 for being capable to scare such large groups so easily and have them run for their lives in the finale. Possibly the highlight of Indy Screampark.

It's a murderous life for me.



So tonight at work, we were VERY short-handed. And luckily I got bumped up from just a victim to a crazy hillbilly murderer. It was awesome! I could never live up to the other murderers out there in the woods, but I think I got a few people real good. I not near creepy looking nor menacing enough to scare people physically, but I pulled out the psychological scares pretty well. :D Not to mention it was fun being doused in fake blood.

When they say wet floor....

See this wonderful eye wound? Looks like a crazy spider bite or something or another eh? Well here's the lovely story of my day. It starts with eating lunch at Penn Station with Trea. We both got large drinks, because we were heading to class right after. Well since we were running a bit late, I was in a hurry walking into the school. I gave him the flash-drive to go print our papers out, and said I had to pee real bad. Well you need to realize that the entry way to the bathrooms at school always have the wet floor sign. So I didn't pay it much attention. When I walked through, my foot, clad in a flip-flop hit the only spot of the floor that was wet, and slid forwards. I tried to correct it by sliding it backwards. BAD IDEA!

On any given day at school, I will always have my 40 lb + backpack on both shoulders, therefore waddling throughout the halls like a backwards pregnant lady. Well when my foot went backwards, it took my balance off, and all that extra weight made me really top-heavy. So down I went crashing; face first to the floor, with the extra weight weighing me down. I had my Penn Station cup in my left hand, luckily it stayed there, without spilling everywhere since it was full. But the  unfortunate part of the whole ordeal was my face came crashing down towards the cup, and the hard plastic straw went jabbing into my eye socket, mere millimeters from my eyeball.

Oh and just in case you were wondering, I did get to go pee, once I recovered from the shock and laughed it off a bit. The lady in the bathroom that witnessed it all, was amazed that I could take a spill that brutal, and laugh it off. She has no idea how clumsy I am. :D Pretty sweet story eh?

Halloweenie



So as I mentioned earlier.. I am still out at Indy ScreamPark. I absolutely love it. I'm on the makeup team so I was testing out some bruising techniques on a very eager 6 year old. I think they turned out quite nicely. The last picture is an after shot when i got home from work, with some lovely dirtyness going on and some bloody splatters. I'm supposed to have a House of 1000 corpses look going on without being "dead". We've had some really good nights since we opened 3 weeks ago. I look the looks of pure terror, and watching full grown men pick up their kids and hightail it outta there. The best was a girl yelling that "I just peed on myself", or the teenage girls wearing adult diapers because they knew they would get so scared. Ah the life of a haunt actor. :D

Study Study Study

I feel like all I've been doing lately is studying! I knew this semester was going to be hard, but seriously..


But amidst all this study and burying my nose in books,  I have actually found myself a little part time job for the season. I'm spending my free time over at Indy ScreamPark. It's a new haunted house here in Anderson. It's been voted A New Comer of the Year from Americasbesthaunts.com. But I can't do it justice by describing it, but they've made is sound super enticing.


Indy ScreamPark features five unique attractions, as well as a Monster Midway where visitors can enjoy food and drink while playing carnival games and mingling with ghouls, goblins and everything in between.

Attraction 1: Nachtmahr: German for nightmare, this attraction is over
8,000 square feet of state-of-the-art animatronics, computer generated images, and
sounds and lights. It features more than 30 actors in 20 detailed scenes.

Attraction 2: Kurayami: Japanese for black-out, this
attraction utilizes the absence of light to accentuate fear. Kurayami is
inhabited by traditional Japanese warriors who are trained to prey upon the
patrons.

Attraction 3: Backwoods: The Backwoods is a
horror trail that is almost one half-mile long featuring scenes and characters
throughout the woods that will terrify.

Attraction 4: Dark Harvest: Dark Harvest is a classic walk through the corn combined with high-energy acting and state-of-the-art pyrotechnics to produce an adrenaline filled attraction that will test visitor’s nerves throughout.

Attraction 5: Bedlam 3D: This special 3D haunted house has custom sound, video, illusions and even some crazed clowns that bring this madhouse to life.

Prices are between $20 and $35 depending on which night you decide to come out.. 


More info on the website! 


hope to scare you there!

My Apologies

I've been super busy lately. This usually happens the week before school starts. Last minute errands, Birthday Parties, and not to forget my girls day tomorrow. I've been so bogged down, that I haven't had time to keep caught up on the blog.

I'm hoping to get things going again this weekend, so expect a couple posts! Then after that, it will be slow again as I get into the semester. With 14 cr hrs this semester, along with trying to find a part time job and studying for my teas exam, I'll be super busy. But I will definatly try to keep this going.
