Halloween is really fun for us right now. We have 3 kids, age 4, 5, and 7. Perfect ages for Trick or Treating. The 4 and 7 year olds just want to be Batman and Wonder Woman, but the 5 year old is trippy, she wants to be Nyan Cat. She's been talking about it for months,

so my wife is making her costume.

That's awesome! I just started learning to sew so I am fascinated by those that can make complicated (in my eyes) costumes like that.

My son decided on Marshall from Paw Patrol after I showed him his Pikachu options, but he wanted this specific Marshall costume that he saw.

My boys said they didn't want to go This year. I'm so happy. Lol

Took them to haunted house though. Drove an hour and half to get there, waited two hours in line after buying online tickets, and another hour in the inside lobby.

It was awesome. Will go again. The characters take turns coming out and sneaking up behind people in line, taking pics, and entertaining people. I enjoyed waiting in line more than the house. And I've never liked waiting for anything.

What did they do while waiting?
I'm glad you had fun! My friends went to the adult haunted... event here. Four houses. I worked and couldn't really go walk that, anyway.
Also, I feel you on the no waiting. I have no patience, even if I'm saving a crapload by ordering on Amazon, I still can't wait.

Sneak up behind you, make you cuss n shit. Lol. They had loud clicking things on their gloves they would come at you clicking them. Some had on some kind of gloves with long knives and special knee pads. They would take off running and slide towards you on hands and knees with the loud clicking and sparks flying. Stop at ur feet and jump up in ur face. One guy in line with freaky eyes scared me and decided to haunt me all night. Grrr

We have a pretty popular haunted house here in Cincinnati. I've never been as the lines are always insanely long, but it always ranks as one of the best haunted houses in the country. The building (an old schoolhouse) sits empty all year, and it has some history behind it. Supposedly, the old schoolhouse is actually haunted - back in the 40s several children were killed and it ended up being the janitor. That's the story anyway - which I'm sure is complete fiction. It is a spooky looking building though.

Here's the schoolhouse. It's abandoned now - except every fall they turn it into a haunted house with a grade school theme.



Here's a video I found. Shows the crowd, and some footage from inside. It's hard to get a feel for a haunted house on video though.

It looks awesome! The concept sounds very familiar. The story would bring me there, except the stupid lines/crowds.
Also, don't blame you on not going because of the lines.

Yeah, the wait can be as long as 2 hours. When I was younger I might have done it, but I don't have the patience for that anymore.

When I drive by it I'm always amazed at how many people are outside waiting in line.

That's crazy.
Is it bad that I wouldn't have waited, no matter what age? I'll wait for shit I HAVE pen NEED to wait for (granted, unhappily) but I hardly brave a line for something I want.
