Very real looking monsters lurked around every corner. “Dead” souls, trapped in eternal anguish, reached out from behind bars to grab me. The rooms were filled with zombies, ghosts, and monsters. There were large bowls filled with blood and guts that we had to stick our hands in. Blood-curdling screams and wailing filled each room. With every step the terror continually built up inside me. The other people going through the haunted house were screaming. Half-way through I ran out terrified, with my three year old daughter bundled up safe in my arms. No! This was not for me.

BEAUTIFUL WORDS 
I remember taking my children to a Haunted House when they were 5 or 6
and they did not appreciate it one, itty, bitty, little bit.
Live and learn.
LOL! My daughter wasn’t one bit afraid, I was!
I enjoyed this one, the last part where you ran outside the haunted house terrified made me giggle. I know it was a scary experience but the how you wrote the it painted a clear image and your ‘voice’ just came through. Happy Halloween!!
Thank you! 🙂
My mom made a haunted house in the driveway many years back. When they run out screaming, you know you did it well…mol. =^,,^=
LOL!
I’ve never been into a Haunted House but have lived in a couple of houses that were haunted. This Haunted house sounds very scary. I think I would run out too! Well done to fit such an experience into 100 words.
The funny thing is my little daughter wasn’t one bit scared. I was! LOL
She’s amazing! I wonder if we learn to be afraid.
Yes! Fear is learned. I know that for a fact from my own childhood.
