The Scare for a Cure has three different "levels" of scare and we, of course, upgraded to the highest level red. This meant we had to prepare to get "bloodied" and it was full contact, meaning they could touch us but we couldn't touch them. I wasn't particularly happy about this but when we booked the tickets I felt I at least owed this to Brent since he suffers all the time with the difficulty I cause in our eating out (sigh).
We get there and have to wait for a shuttle to take us deeper in the woods. Not cool. We finally board the bus and a lady is talking, blah blah blah when all of a sudden a big furry creature pops out from behind my school bus seat! Schnikes. Alright, I'll give them the element of surprise and a little more adrenaline pumps through my veins.
We unload from the bus and there's what resembles a gypsy camp with a fire dancer and fortune tellers and other stuff. We are all scuttled to an area where we have to sign a waiver. I sign it and as I'm waiting in line to give them my document I actually decide to read over the waiver. There was things like we aren't liable if you get stung by stinging insects or bitten by a snake. This is only my second haunted house people and I'm thinking, "Holy shit, this is like fear factor." I wanted to leave.
We finally give them our paperwork, before I back out, and Brent and I are suddenly hurried to board another bus so we can join the group departing, yet deeper in the woods, to the house.
The haunted house itself was way less scary than the buildup. It was a really great production and I was impressed with the costumes and decent acting. It turned out to be an interactive riddle and I ended up "killing" my husband and the world because I answered incorrectly. In case you go, Voltan has nothing to do with anything on this tour, but that was my answer. I don't even know what Voltan means but it's the first thing that came to me.
Overall I recommend this experience, though it is sold out for all but Halloween night as of when I am writing this. It was fun, interactive, and very creative. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who might go but if you do go, let's chat!
Happy Halloween!
