and amusement parks across the country. If you are looking for a spooky time coupled with

begeezus out of people, too. You definitely don't want to dismiss them! Oftentimes costing
less money, they are quite attractive entertainment.

quest to see how much you and your friends can take. Although these attractions are not
about real ghosts and ghouls, some of the haunted venues certainly are not for the faint of
heart. Some of these annual haunts are known for shutting visitors down due to extreme fear.
You might wonder how? People find themselves confronting, and even fleeing, monsters while
navigating dark, creepy mazes and strobe light-filled scenes. The disorientation itself is
frightening enough, but the best of haunted attractions also have a very creepy collection of
horrific-looking creatures. And as you may imagine, these well-trained actors, who are gifted
in the craft of spook, live to torment paying guests. They view their visitors as a challenge.
