__Hello_my_name_is__

I swear I've seen like three different videos of this exact thing happening now. Always the exact same situation, but clearly different places and different people, but the same context.


dirtnap__throwaway

It's just really fun to fuck with people like this when youre working in a haunted house. Used to work for one back when I was a teen, had more than a few moments with customers with this type of energy to it.


JesusChrist_Himself

I would love to hear/read some stories


dirtnap__throwaway

About to go to bed but I'll write the one. The haunted house I worked at allowed people to volunteer for a night or two if they knew a cast member, wouldn't get paid but it's a blast so you'd get some people who would do it from time to time. Coworker shows up with a friend of his, she was an Iraq veteran. Apparently her humvee went over an IED and, as a result, she lost both of her legs above the knee, one of her arms just below the elbow, and the other arm was pretty mangled (still had use of that hand thankfully.) Everyone was standoffish, not really sure how to approach the subject given that the job typically requires a lot of physical activity, running, jumping from setpiece to setpiece, etc. So when she went to the front desk to be assigned a room for the night (place was divided up into themed rooms, about 18 or so.) She was given the rundown on all the different themes until a room called "the meat slinger" was brought up. This haunted house happens to have been built inside an 1800s meat packing plant (the type that "the jungle" was written about if you're familiar with the book) so there's a room dedicated as a human meat processing plant. She stops the lady at the front desk and says she wants to do this one, which so happens to be the one I was already in for the night. To give you an idea of the room, there's bodybags on hooks that swing around the room on old factory equipment, styrofoam meat containers that you'd find in a grocery store with human limbs in it, stuff like that. About 2/3rds of the way in there's this table with a decapitated dead on it that customers have to walk around to get to the exit. This chick got her friend to put her onto the table and from what I understand, her strategy was to act like a bad animatronic while people got close, then, when they started looping around the table, she'd flip over onto her stomach and start dragging herself towards them with her good arm. I was a bit down the hall before her part but I swear she caused a stampede damn near every time. I remember one guy screaming something along the lines of "FUCK FUCK FUCK THEY'RE ACTUALLY CUTTING PEOPLE UP IN HERE." Saw her in the cast room after the show and she was damn near giddy, seems like she had a blast. Hope she's doing well.


1slandViking

FanFUCKINGtastic story and now I want to work at a haunted house lol


dirtnap__throwaway

It's definitely an experience to have at some point in your life. Making a grown ass man leave shit nuggets in a trail leading out of your room is a feeling I can only describe as godlike.


thesoccerone7

Those people were always my scare goal. The big tough guys that thinks nothing can get them. Best is when you find out a name and relay to the rest of the house


tabgrab23

Wait, like he actually shit out a trail of poop nuggets?


dirtnap__throwaway

Yes. He outright yelled out to his friend group "I think I just shit myself." Thought he was just being dramatic and playing it up for laughs until I noticed the shit on the floor about 5 minutes later. Had to get someone in to clean it up. It's by no means a common occurrence but holy shit it was a good feeling.


rabbitwonker

That’s so awesome that she was able to overcome her trauma to the degree that she could have fun with it like that.


Swords_and_Words

Heck yeah! and I imagine it was probably a hell of a therapeutic experience in and of itself since she had such a blast.


radditour

> since she had such a blast. Are we still doing phrasing?


radditour

A trauma shared is a trauma halved.

Archgaull

I didn't work for a haunted house but worked at a haunted trail that you'd walk through the woods on. I came up with a bit where me and a friend would stumble into a group at the last checkpoint wearing plainclothes and start berating the host for a bunch of people grabbing us and that was totally unacceptable. He'd weakly defend it then we'd be grabbed by our friends in zombie clothes and we'd in general scream and pretend to be murdered. All good fun. It all went smoothly till we got to a group of black girls. As soon as we run up and start the bit I just hear "oh hell naw y'all white boys gotta get the fuck outta here I ain't finna get grabbed no sir." I start cracking up and trying to keep a straight face when I get grabbed. We start the bit and all I hear is I'm being dragged is "I TOLD YOU THEM WHITE BOYS WAS TROUBLE HELL NAW FUCK OUTTA HERE LETS GO GIRL." I'm dying laughing as I get dragged so I go on break and go to the end and just start chatting up the girls. They were all cool as hell I wish I'd got their numbers.


Maniacbob

We did a haunted house when I was in middle school, so you know a bunch of 12-13 year olds scaring mostly 12-13 year olds. It was schlocky and silly but we had all the tropes, vampires, mad scientists, a spooky kid watching a static tv, etc. It was good fun and we managed to thoroughly scare most of the kids who came through. I did a lot of the set work so my part was pretty simple, I was a haunted clothes rack. There was something in a nook on the other side of the hall and the guests were being followed by vampires at that point so a lot didn't notice the rack or didn't pay attention until I reached out to grab them. Also I had no visibility so it was not uncommon for the first few to walk by and so it was the middle of the pack that I got. But because I couldn't see well I often didn't know exactly what I was touching or flailing at. Anyways, the highlight of the night comes almost at the end. I've done this like 30+ times at this point when I reach out to grab this group coming through and I hear a kid yell "Those clothes just punched me in the face". I had to try so hard not to break down laughing from my hiding spot. Not long thereafter the whole rack fell apart because it turns out that a fully loaded like Walmart brand, free standing clothes rack isn't built for that kind of handling, so I finished the night about 20 minutes early lol.


A_Trash_Homosapien

I worked in a small time pop-up haunted house. So most of the stuff in there wasn't all that scary or good. I used to sit there in a crash test dummy morph suit. I had a people knife and some fake blood on me with a very unconvincing dead body in front of me. I basically just sat there until people got close then would leave the body and run towards them. Scared most people pretty good. Anyways I was in there one night and a group of kids came in. Something like 5 13 year olds and they were all complaining about how bad the place was and how it wasn't scary so ASF they approached me I decided not to move and one of them goes "look at how terrible this looks it's clearly fake and not even scary" I could see from the corner of my eye that he had his arm outstretched perpendicular to me so I quickly pivoted, placed my free hand on his arm, raised up my knife, and screamed The sheer panic in the faces of those kids is something I'll never forget. One of them fell down and scrambled back a bit, one ran off the wrong way and the other three bolted down the hall. It was a good night for me


Plenty-Appointment40

I remember going through a haunted house rollercoaster ride, basically this small SLOW moving cart inside a house and a bunch of scary things popping out. Well. I went with my cousin and someone put their ducking hand on my shoulder and squeezed. I’ve never been so afraid, so still, so quiet in my life. We got off the ride, I talked to other people who took it and it only happened to me. Super scary.

__Hello_my_name_is__

I get that it's fun to fuck with people like that (that's essentially part of the job, right?), but I'm just confused that this specific situation (women tries to open door for like a full minute without realizing that it opens the other way while haunted house person stands right next to her) apparently happens so damn often.


dirtnap__throwaway

Haunted houses are employed almost entirely by teenagers. Teenagers are sarcastic little cunts. Moments with this type of energy happen a lot as a result. Not this exact scenario but this sort of sarcastic "mask off" type of moment where an actor kinda drops character to mess with someone.


Teerlys

I worked at a haunted house a few times as a teenager and can confirm. We all absolutely loved it when someone fully bought into the scare. Girl friend groups especially seemed to always put the most scared one in the front. This one girl bodied her party of 4 back through 3 exhibits while I slowly stalked her as a werewolf. Then I got back into my cage and dangled my claw out above them. The whole group crawled out under it to get away. Over 20 years later and I still have fond memories of that.


xDaigon_Redux

When I was a teenager I went to a haunted house with me then girlfriend. I noticed a section of wall that could open up so I figured something was going to come out and stopped walking as the gf kept going. 2 kids with those giant terrifying masks that cover like half your body came out of a room and saw me and I just waved them to her since she wasn't paying attention. They followed her a bit while I followed them and I eventually had to call out to her to get her to turn around. Was a fun night.


katzeye007

I was an adult in my 40s and did a zombie walk in my city. Just staring, shambling and gnashing teeth at people in a car 40 feet away sent people over the edge Absolutely hilarious!!!

I did it as a teen too, I'm very quiet so my favorite thing to do was suddenly appear behind them when the group wasn't looking

Same shit with those "Catching something and then checking if I'm Spiderman" videos. There are so many of them.


Dramallamadingdong87

With the same goofy music and over exaggerated movements to non verbally convey this Scooby Doo-esque hilarity?


FencesInARow

Everyone commenting here is saying that these videos are being intentionally created but I don’t think that’s the case. I volunteered for a place like this and we were not allowed to touch you, at all. If you’re running from one of them but can’t find the way forward, naturally they are going to pause the chase because, you know, they’re not actually trying to kill you. They can either stomp their feet pretending to be scary until you figure it out, or drop the act for a second. If they need people to be moving through their maze, the latter is the quicker option. Extremely common scenario.


sxan

It's like when you're walking down a deserted street at night, and you hear a car coming. There's that tingling urge to hide; it's not hard to ignore, but it's more fun to give it to the terror of being hunted. You paid money to be scared; why waste it?

Being scared often can lead to the brain going oonga boonga mode


VerlorFor

I once had to grab a public defibrillator because of a heart attack scare. I wasn't panicked or scared but adrenaline was pumping. I couldn't open the locker and someone had to help me out. I had to turn a knob counter clockwise and it just didn't occur to me. It was baffling.


axefairy

Had something similar in a way, once woke up to the sound of one of my dogs panicked barking, I had literally 2 possibilities in my head, either my other dog was raping her (she was due to come into heat soon for the first time) or there was someone who had broken in and was harming/stealing her, I woke up and instantly vaulted over my heavily pregnant wife (pulling my hamstring slightly as I did so) and charged out the bedroom, boy dog was at the top of the stairs looking scared so I storm down shouting because now the only option is there’s someone in the kitchen doing fuck knows what to my dog. Turns out we had a faulty baby gate for the kitchen separating the 2 dogs and she’d got her neck caught in it as it popped open and she had stuck her head through inquisitively then backed off, locking it. So I run up to it and start trying to pry the bars open thinking she’s got here head between them, not the opening, my wife comes down a few seconds behind me about the same time as my fucking brain and opens the gate just as I register what’s actually happening. You’d think with evolution our brains would work better in panic driven situations but nooooo


cherry42

Really sounds like evolution did it's job. Straight from deep sleep were you ready to fight a threat that was coming to hurt your family. Of course this time there was no threat, but that didn't really matter.

I went to a haunted house like 10 years ago and we got to a room that was filled with mist and lasers, I said to my gf at the time “looks like a rave in here” and one of the actors jumped out of the shadows and started fist bumping going “unce unce unce unce” before ducking back into the shadows, it was hilarious

Puwn

Serious question, do people legitimately get scared or is it more so that they "play along" and ACT scared so they can enjoy it and have fun when they go to these places? I just have a hard time believing people are legit scared since you already know nothing can seriously happen/hurt you. It's just an odd concept for me to wrap my head around that people would pay for stuff like this to be scared in a fake way. Or maybe I'm just being cynical? Lol


theyleaveshadows

If you've ever watched a horror movie, it's the same thing. Obviously, there's no actual danger, but the fear you feel is real. What's the point of engaging with horror at all, if not to experience emotions like fear in a place that's not actually going to hurt you? To me, it's just sorta exhilarating. So yeah, to some extent I'm just letting myself play along with it, but I don't think I'm necessarily faking the fear either. If horror in general is hard for you to empathize with, have you ever played tag or hide-and-seek before? Do you know the feeling you get as the person who is "it" gets really close you? To me, getting chased in a haunted house or going along with a ghost story or something functions in the same way. At the end of the day, it's basically like playing a game. There's no actual consequences to losing (getting tagged, or getting caught by a fake monster), but it wouldn't be as fun if you didn't play along.


aqsgames

I’ve been a scarer on these events, Punters start off chill. But every step is a wind up, by the time they get to the end the Adrenalin is in full control. You can freak anyone out then :) It is the best fun to scare the bejesus out of a 6ft2 rugby player. Or indeed anyone else. If you get a chance, do it


shroomenheimer

Personally I act more scared than I actually am because it's more fun for everyone involved. Kinda like when someone screams for dear life on a rollercoaster. If I get jumpscared the scream will be genuine but if I'm running from some teen in a creepy mask it's more about playing along than being actually scared
