There is a new Sunset Lodge which is a old hotel that has been taken over by serial killers. The hotel was just like a horror film movie set. The ScareHouse room details continue to amaze me and the 70 plus actors always seem to stay in character.
There was a new 3-D circus themed haunt with some really scary looking clowns. This was my favorite group of rooms. I laughed at myself as I jumped, when turning back from looking at my friends behind me, I came face to face with a clown with a scary huge grin. In 3-D it protruded out as if to bite me!
The Infernal Haunt with more demons and scary dolls always seems to produce that feeling of "get me out of here"! There is something about those big eyed dolls that just creeps me out.
I am not sure why we enjoy the thrill of a little fright but ScarehHouse did it again! I am still not ready for the basement experience.
Happy Halloween.
Day 173 Scarehouse-Happy Halloween
I am a girl who sleeps
with the lights on after watching a
scary movie and who turns her head during horror movie TV clips. I must be getting brave in this empty nest period because this was my third
annual Scarehouse visit. I wondered if this place would still give me that
scare thrill. In case it did, I had friends join me for support this time.

Reflection
I wonder why we enjoy
that heart flutter adrenaline spark when something unexpectedly jumps at us or
when the presumed mannequin is real and moves toward you. I guess there is a dopamine
rush that keeps us coming back for more.
Scarehouse produced it again with three new haunts:
Infernal, Nocturnia and the Summoning.
They had 80 actors bring to life the movie set rooms. I still enjoy the
first room where someone is designated the “chosen one,” (me again), and the creepy
theater. I am amazed with the detail of each room and the smoky haze throughout the house gives it a dream like atmosphere. The
fog also hides the actors for the scare!

Scareshouse claims to also house real spirits in the historic
building built in 1915. It was a bank, an employee club with a pool, a bowling alley,
and a restaurant, and an Elks lodge from 1920 to 2006. The building has a rich history just like
the Whaley House that I visited in California where this skeptic got a ghost
picture (see Day 103 ). Scarehouse
also offers paranormal investigation
events but I don’t think I am quite brave enough for that new experience. (For the brave, there
is a investigation event on Nov 5th.)
