Let's get our FREAK on!

For the month of September and October my brother and sister in law own and run a professional haunted house in Salt Lake City called Nightmare Mansion. I came down to help take tickets, which was a crazy busy job. Jill told me to bring the kids down to act in the show for a couple weekends during the busiest time in October. Rylee was so excited. We had to get down there early like 5:30pm and ended up getting home at 2:30am. We took a few of Rylee's friends and a couple of mine down to experience the madness. Holden (the burned victim in the the straight jacket) said it was intense and felt a little crazy after acting crazy in a padded cell for 5 hours. I felt bad for him but not as bad as I felt for Rylee after it took 2 hours to clean and comb through her clown hair. When I saw her in full clown makeup, her REAL hair ratted till it felt like cotton candy, I knew we wouldn't just go home and crash. Her favorite night was the night she was a mourner in a funeral room. She was crying over her dead father in a grave and yelled at people and once lay still against the wall, and one man came up and said "I think its fake" right when he was about to touch her she opened her eyes and yelled "Don't touch me!" Cooper was a white ghost kid in a maze of white sheets. As people tried to make their way through he would walk past and look them in the eyes and then disappear into the sheets, definately unnerving. The last night Rylee wanted to be in a scarier room so they put her in a body bag room and gave her a hand saw and a fake bloody arm. Rylee said it was the scariest night of her life. She thought to herself, " Here I am in a room with body bags with a fake arm and a saw...... one girl came in and Rylee banged the hand against a barrel, the girl screamed so loud and freaked out that she scared Rylee more than Rylee scared her. However, the die hard that Rylee is she still wanted more after that night but I was too tired to do another weekend. I guess Im getting old and boring.
