If you go to a haunted house..it is your duty to scream or react!

Grr such a pet peeve!

We went on a haunted hayride tonight and it was a blast. It was very interactive...actors jumping out and onto the tractor to scare us, then we got dropped off and had to make our way through some haunted houses...more scary stuff and more actors scaring us.

I am a screamer, I admit it. My husband isn't, but he at least reacts to the stuff by laughing and jumping a little. I love the high school girls who scream like crazy.

I hate the people who act too cool to scream or even laugh. I am not talking about teenagers trying to be cool, but the other adults who roll their eyes or look bored. Why go? The actors work hard and it may not be super scary...but with all the noises and jumping out it certainly startles you ... The least you can do is interact with them.

It makes it more fun for the other guests...heck every scream either made me scream or bust out laughing... and it encourages the actors. You clap at a play, cheer at sporting events, etc. you should do the same at haunted stuff.

Meh...just a rant. I had a lot of fun, even my husband the non-screamer was laughing and having fun...which is why I can't stand sour pusses.
