Last weekend I had the privilege to go to Halloween Horror Nights. And let me say it was amazing. I almost got the poop scared out of me. Not really, but that sounded good. I went with two of my friends Doug and Travis. When we got there we had early passes to Islands of Adventure, so we hung out there and rode rides like the Hulk and Spiderman. The Hulk was especially cool because it doesn’t use to chain to pull you up and then drop you. It uses magnets to shoot you straight into the first dive. It was cool. Probably the funniest thing we did the whole night was eat at the Dr. Sues Diner. It looked like we were in a Dr. Sues book and here are three guys sitting in a train eating their food with these kids all over the place.
After we ate, we went into Universal studios were Halloween Horror nights was. The first thing we see are these huge guys on stilts and their look like statues until they move and scare you. Above them were guys dressed in flight suits who would jump off the building, pretend to fall, and then swing up to the other side. Very cool. The haunted houses were great. The scariest one was about a photographer and one of the rooms had a strobe light going off with dummies dressed in black with white outlines on. Then there were a few real people dressed the same who would move when he strobe went off. What made it scary was that they would move right in front of your face from the other side of the room. It was awesome.
The whole night was awesome, but I did miss my wife. She was too scared to come. Anyway, why do you think people like to be scared? I like it because of the rush and excitement. What about you?

I guess also because of the rush and excitement too. Also, at least some movies and books classified in the “horror” genre “make you think” more than a stereotypical action movie.
That said, I have to be careful how much “horror” fiction I imbibe… my imagination can go crazy sometimes, haha.
