Though it may sound like a bad idea, I think it actually helps to read the descriptions of the houses and scare zones in advance. Just keep it in perspective and try to appreciate the incredible creativity and detail that goes into the costumes and sets (and even scents!). The scareactors are not supposed to touch you, so there really isn’t much to worry about other than being startled, which is going to happen no matter how much you “prepare” yourself. I know it sounds silly, but if you just remind yourself that you’re not actually going to get hurt, it helps to ease some of the fear and anxiety that may be building up inside of you. Just keep telling yourself that it isn’t real. Alternatively, if you don’t like looking at the gore or scary stuff, just stare at the back of the person in front of you instead! Your friend’s back is probably not scary at all! □ 5. Remind Yourself “It’s not real” and Appreciate the Detail To avoid getting startled, look both ways at every turn. There’s a good chance if the path is turning left there might be someone hiding on the right. Lights and sounds are sure signals that something is coming, so prepare yourself – grab the arm member of your group, duck behind the biggest person, etc.Īlso, remember to look left and right anytime you turn a corner as you make your way through the houses. You’ll notice that lights flash and loud sounds happen right before someone is about to jump out at you as you walk through the houses. Pay Attention to the PatternsĪfter a house or two, you will start to notice the general “pattern” of how the scares go. And, you know, you don’t want to have an accident if you get really scared! Plus, the houses are dark and sometimes a little tricky to navigate, so you need to be able to get yourself through them! Please drink responsibly. I do not recommend overdoing it because you may find yourself needing the bathroom while you’re waiting on the very long lines. Your goal is to achieve the opposite of this! To illustrate this point, here’s what it’s like to go through a house alone. That person needs to go first when you enter the houses – every house! Important Note: this works best if at least one person in the group is not afraid or is at least moderately brave. The more people you can have around you as you move through the houses and scare zones, the safer you’ll feel. And if you have someone that’s bigger or taller than you in your group that you can kind of hide behind, that’s the best way to shield yourself from the scares. In fact, the bigger the group, the better. Definitely attend Halloween Horror Nights with a group. Remember that expression that says “there’s safety in numbers”? It applies here.
