Haunted Houses

Now that it's October, that means that Halloween is going to be here pretty soon. A lot of kids like going to haunted houses in October to get a thrill. I like going with my friends to Scream Acres, a haunted house with 3 parts to it. Sometimes the themes change but the first part usually has something to do with clowns. Last year it was a funhouse clown theme. The second haunted house that you go to is a slaughter house theme. It's in an old barn with a few levels of stairs and twists and turns. My favorite part is a tunnel you walk into with an illusion that makes it seem like you're spinning around. It's really cool and confusing because it seems like you really are spinning but you have to keep walking across the platform to make it out. The third part to Scream Acres is a haunted corn maze that leads you around the farm in the tall stalks of corn with lots of creepy people in costumes. At the end a guy with a chainsaw chases you out. A lot of bigger towns probably have a lot more haunted houses that are scarier and better themed but sometimes they can be a bit too much. I've heard of some haunted house in Chicago or somewhere like that where you are required to sign a waiver for your personal safety. This haunted house takes place in some abandoned building that has multiple floors. You pay a really expensive price but your money gets reimbursed as you make it to the higher levels. The levels get more intense as you go and they use real snakes and spiders and stuff. It sounds pretty cool. Other haunted houses you could go to aren't really haunted houses that people think of as your traditional haunted house. There are old places that nobody really hears about like the Villisca Axe Murder House. You can pay to stay in the same house that 7 children and 2 adults were murdered in over 100 years ago. This house is said to be haunted so it's available to rent out at night for paranormal investigations and things like that. October is a month for all things scary and thrilling and there are some great places to go so hopefully I can get out and go to some haunted houses this year. (400)
