Im sure some are good but pretty much everyone Ive ever been to is a bunch of strobe lights and corridors with people that jump out and try to startle you In the one I was in, we all mostly thought that was kind of boring, so we tried to be clever/amusing more than scary. Almost every "room" you went through had at least one thing that would make you laugh and not just try and startle you. We catered to the crowd, though. Most people working there were from my college, and most people coming through were other people from my college, so we were less serious with the drunken college students, but we'd play it a bit more straight if a group came through where it was a family with their kids or something. We got a lot of compliments, so we figured we were doing something right. darkknight109 posted... I want you to see me coming and still be terrified. In ours, what we figured out pretty quickly was that the absolutely most terrifying thing was the guy with the chainsaw. Mainly because it was a real chainsaw. Granted, we'd taken the actual chain off so it couldn't cut anything, but it looked more or less the same (especially in the dark), and it sounded exactly the same, so most people assumed it was a working chainsaw. At which point, they assumed the person with it would just be careful and not actually hit anyone... except they were never entirely sure he was 100% trustworthy and not going to crack at any moment and actually hurt someone, or that he might not accidentally trip or something and wind up hitting someone with it for real (especially since he was wearing a mask which obviously obscured his vision), so people were REALLY scared of him. Because everything else in the place they KNEW was fake and safe, but they weren't entirely sure about this. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:910590388] in Do you lik...
