Ok now I want to talk about Halloween. Now I know I am a little slow, however it seems to me I should be able to talk about a holiday after it happens for a length of time equivalent to how long stores were selling merchandise before the holiday. I think that makes me good until May 2011? Someone check my math. So without further ado, here is your read.
Trick-OR-Treat!! Hehe, no, I didn't go trick-or-treating; I'm too old. And no I didn't hand out candy. I'm more of the type to go buy the candy and then conveniently forget to turn on my porch light. Yeah, yeah I know I'm a horrible person. Get over it.
But really the Halloween for me was going to a haunted house. Scratch that, THE haunted house. I went to Norcross's Netherworld Haunted House. For those of you who don't know that is number one ranked scariest haunted house in all of the US. I figured if any haunted
house was going to get me this one was it.
I went with Steph and Adam. It started with us driving. Then me missing the turn and then missing the parking lot driveway and having to back out into heavy traffic as the parking guy stood in the way in the middle of the dark. It was great. Then we walked in the dark on the side of the road while cars whizzed by. Yeah Georgia doesn't believe in sidewalks. Finally we got there and I got to go to my first horror house…um I mean….Porta-Potty. But those dark horrors are too graphic for internet posting.
Ok so we wait in line and finally get to go into the 'extra' haunted house. The ghoul at the door tells us that we can't have our cell phones on; starts off scary enough. We walk through with monsters jumping out at us. Not very scary but some people were screaming. I get bored enough that I let the two little teenage boys behind me take the lead just in time to hear "Get on your knees and crawl through." Um…we'll let that one go too.
So I get on my hands and knees and the scariest thing happened; Steph kept feeling up my butt. Thanks Steph! Nothing like having your cousin feel you up to have a night of terror. But then she moved to my ankles and Adam saw the sign to stand up. We did and found ourselves behind a monster.
"Excuse me mister monster, but we got behind you."
"O yes you need to turn left instead of right."
"O, thanks, Happy Halloween."
"No problem. Have a good night."
Pleasant monster. We got out and got in line for the big attraction. About a 30-45 minute wait. They were selling Fear energy drinks. Which saddened me. I mean did I need an energy drink to stay awake in the big haunted house? Was I going to get so bored that I would just fall into a narcoleptic slumber? Come on.
Well maybe I should have gotten one because I didn't scream or get startled once. Even when some random monster screamed right in my left ear I didn't jump. O and there was the one monster that just kept coming closer and closer until he touched me on my side. I was like "um…back off." I felt bad. Should I have faked it? Well the only thing that was scary to me was the amount of carbon dioxide that was in the house.
Ok so long story I know. But no death, no scariness, o hold on. We left and went back to the cars. As I went to open my door I saw there was no window in the driver side. I yelled for Steph and Adam. The door was unlocked. I freaked out. I looked my phone, my purse, my GPS, DJ, Chris, everything…everything all there. I turned on the car and rolled up the window. Freaky. So we stood in the dark parking lot talking about how I knew I locked my door and how they saw me do it. And as I held my keys up in my palm not touching any buttons the
car lights flashed and locked…will that happen again? We'll see…

Hmm, someone needs to get her priorities in order. Checking for you GPS before the sheep, how dare you. I hear any more stories like this and just might have to send Sheep Social Services.
wow, the scariest thing to happen to you all night was that you forgot to roll up your window? Georgia IS lame.
Well the sheep called out that they were ok. They were my little guard sheep keeping everything safe. I think they might have rolled down the window to laugh at all the people that were scared. I was trying to be dramatic with the writing and start from the lesser important things to the most important.
O and Adam got molested. Forgot to put that in. But maybe he or Steph will elaborate on that in a comment. Let's see.
Beth, well said.
Erin, I asked Adam about the molestation and neither one of us can recall such a thing happening. Maybe he's to traumatized to remember and I'm just unaware? Did you touch him in his bathingsuit area?
No no, it wasn't me. It was that girl behind him that kept getting scared. Then she would grab Adam and said "o I'm sorry." And then do it again. Maybe he liked having his stuffing squeezed by random women. You better watch him.
My favorite haunted house got shut down - it was condemned :(
One of my favorite stories from there: we were waiting in line and the monsters were just walking back and forth. My cousin Jessica got freaked out by one of them and fell down backwards. This was also a pleasant monster; he immediately apologized to her and offered her a hand up. She just kept scooting backwards and screaming. It was hilarious to the rest of us :)
Pretty good story Karin.
Reminds me of a haunted house Erin and I went to with a friend. He happened to be leading the group. I think we got ran over by him three times as he backed up running away from the same monster at the same corner. We never saw the monster. Just a large baby blue hoodie sweatshirt coming at us.
Haha, O I should have asked for my money back. All I saw was blue.
But nothing beats a dark cornfield, a hole, some monsters, and some bright blue glow-in-the-dark pants.
Yeah, I still think we deserve a prize for anytime that you get the monsters laughing so hard that they forget to try and scare you.
I feel bad for the monsters. I think Erin should have let out at least a few sympathy screams. They have feelings too.
Oh yeh, I forgot about her. I kept telling the monster's to scare her, since I was in the lead. Her screaming was my haunted house entertainment.
