So I recently attended a halloween event.

It featured various 'rides' including: a haunted mental asylum, a walk in a spooky forest, a seance. There were lots of actors in costume & character, chasing after people, screaming. Lots of fake blood, darkness, special effects...

But I found the whole thing hilarious!

The night was filled with the screams of terrified punters (mostly adults - this wasn't really for kids) and everybody in general seemed to find it scary... but I couldn't take any of it seriously! I seemed to be entirely alone in finding it silly and I was kinda embarrassed about my reaction (or lack thereof).

Is this normal?

    Normal, Most of them are b movie kinda cheesy. I missed out on something that was meant to be scary and was actually fairly near me, the Milton Keynes zombie experience. They staged a zombie apocalypse and threw you in the middle of it. Sounded great

    I've been to a few of them, farmaggedon and scarekingdom recently. You have to sign a form at scarekingdom and you are strapped in a chair in the dark and people come and scream at you and tip the chair over and stuff.

    Same with me. Most Halloween events are just hilarious. But there are some serious business 'haunted' houses/hotels that will scare the shit out of you. In the last city I lived in, there were plenty of places to choose from. One was a hotel I went to, that if you get to the tenth floor you sign a release that the monsters can touch you kind of aggressively, and if you make it to the top floor, you get your money back. But then I moved, and there is only two Halloween events with such things, and it's a joke. I had hopes at one of them, the monsters could touch you, but their "touching" was more of a gentle sensual rub which turned me on.

    You know it's not real so what is there to fear?

    Terrified punters? What's this, a haunted football field?

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punter

      A British, Australian and Hiberno (Irish) English colloquial term for a paying guest or customer, especially:
      - a patron of a public house
      - a patron of a brothel
      - a customer of a prostitute
      - a paying attendee of a festival or other event

      So the answer should be obvious.

      Zombie prostitutes.

        Oh, we call them Johns in the United States, but zombie prostitutes sound good to me!
