I love how this country values the sense of season and fully enjoys each event by decorating rooms and houses. It also rises the total consumption, which would have a positive economic effect. However, horror events including haunted houses during the Halloween season is just not to my taste. Therefore, I do not much care about what this article says, but I wish to make a few remarks. I do not prefer watching horror movies either, but that is not the main reason why I do not prefer going to horror events. As a student from abroad, where it is illegal to carry guns around, I look for my own safety more than I did in my home country. I believe horror events are extremely dangerous because it is difficult to distinguish a dangerous person from people in horror costumes. If a person with a real knife blends into the actors in the haunted houses, will I able to pick him/her out before I get stabbed? No. Decorating my room with a little pumpkin, enjoying fall dishes with my friends, and maybe going to a small costume party might be enough for me.
I went last year to scare house and this haunted house is great. It is extremely unfortunate that they have not been able to open yet. Making the move to the strip district seemed like a good idea because you would get a lot of foot traffic. However, this is such a popular haunted house I really wonder if it is even worth it trying to move. Because of the move they had to get different permits and those permit took a lot of time to get. Like they said in the article haunted house opening in November is not great. I wonder if they will be able to make there money back this year since they are starting so late. The worst part is they still do not know how long until they can open as they are still waiting on some permits. I think they will learn a lot from this experience.
I have yet to visit ScareHouse (mainly because I don’t like to go and exist somewhere that makes me genuinely scared, but to each their own), however it is something that I have had a lot of friends go to throughout the years and is something that I would at some point like to brave just to say that I actually did it. As I was reading this article, I realized that I had not seen or heard of people attending ScareHouse as much this year, but now all the pieces of the puzzle make sense. I think the big takeaway from this article is to try to give as much time for the process and leave in contingency if at all possible. When looking at the time footprint, the ScareHouse team had planned for everything to get approved so that it could open just days after those approvals were cleared. While sometimes you have to work like this, it is also this very reason that ScareHouse is losing major revenue because they did not spend the time planning and researching early in the process.
