Change in Plans

Unfortunately, since Adele recently had a hemorrhage in her vocal chords, she has cancelled the rest of her U.S. tour for this year. I now need to start planning an entirely new adventure.

I have now decided on having a haunted house for Halloween. I have never been a big fan of this holiday. I never really understood why people would want to dress up and scare each other in hopes of getting a plethora of candy. It has always baffled me. So this year, I'm going to find out what the deal is with this madness.

My good friend, Cristen, has been nice enough to let me and a group of other people just rampaging through her house all Halloween day. We plan on removing all the furniture and putting it in the basement so we can put up a set for our shenanigans. We're hanging  "bloody" tarp on the ceiling to the floor to create a maze which our victims have to get through. The theme is a zombie land type deal. Our job all night is going to be to just scare the living hell out of anybody that comes through the front door and manages to get to the end in a legal, non-touching kind of way.

We are going to have approximately 20 actors, aka people we find who have nothing better to do then to put costumes on and be a creep, to be positioned throughout the haunted house. Each person has a different job weather it be hanging for the noose we have set up or be the undead little girl playing with her headless dolls. My personal favorite so far is actually the part me and my friend are playing. She has an amputated leg in real life so, for the night, she's taking it off and covering her, for the lack of a better word, stump with fake blood and I'm going to be over her with a bloody saw and a fake mangled leg. It's really just disturbing but should be affective.

I will only be doing this for part of the night because I plan on interviewing people outside the house right when there haunted tour is done. I'll be asking them questions to find out if they were scared, what part of it scared them the most, and would they come back next year if we did it again? I'll be doing this in hopes of finding out more about people in general. If there are more people like me who prefer nobody scared her ever or, for the more masochistic crowd, prefer to have that adrenaline rush of "Oh shit, what's happening, am I about to die? Yeah. Sweet!"

Also, hopefully, I'll find something new about myself. Maybe after that night I'll understand what all the fuss is about. Maybe the whole will suck and from that point on if Halloween is even mentioned near me I'll get pissed off because that night was just so horrible. I don't know, I guess I have to wait and see.
