We haven't ever chicken doored it (which is what they call the emergency exits), but we have been "exhausted" in haunts. That's where you get hit with scares so often you start to feel overwhelmed. That's a good thing! Hotel of Horrors and a few others really do that and are the top hardcore places that definitely aren't kid friendly.

Well, generally we're cool with going back to any place we've been to--but some things just don't interest me. Blackout and some of the "experiment" type haunts aren't really haunted attractions in my opinion. They are really more S&M experiences. I like seeing cool stuff and am not much interested in sticking things in my mouth or being covered in nasty crap. For some that's cool though, so to each their own.

You know, if a haunt had a dude in a giant zombie taco outfit I'd probably lose it both laughing and screaming due to the unexpected nature of it.

Haunt owners, I expect to see this next season!

Hmm, well most of the farm based haunts we go to are pretty good value for experience. we just went back to Headless Horseman in NY and you could easily spend a whole night there for $35. Same for Field of Screams. NJ, PA, and NY have tons of local ones.

Sound is amazingly important to a haunt. We don't normally pay attention to sounds around us, so when they are subtle or creepy they can really hit you hard. Some of the most fun we have in a haunt is when we hear something ahead of us and know some shit is going to go down soon.

Soundtracks often tell you if a haunt has some money to invest since something original can be costly to produce. We like hanging out at Universal Studies Halloween Horror Nights just to hear the sounds and atmosphere (on a good year, last year was kinda crappy though but we have hopes for this year)
