Walking through the first rooms, wave after wave of ghouls spring out from each room’s one dark corner. More startling than scary, even when you know it’s coming. After the initial “boo”, some of them think it might be scarier if they get in your face and stay there for a while. Really, this is so you can get a closer look at how much time they spent working on their makeup that afternoon. Of course, you don’t want to hang out and count their nose hairs. You want to push on because the proximity is beginning to highlight the B.O. these guys have understandably developed from such a high energy night job. Their role is to jump out, be loud and quickly get back in their shaded corner. It starts to get old.
The best performances seem to come from the ones walking around outside the haunted house. For them, it’s not about speed and vocal volume, but rather maintaining a creepy demeanor and firmly approaching the people who have opted out of the full experience. Oddly, these scares are free.
