Fearfest

**Note** I cheated on this post as I copied it off of Adriene's...no sense in us both writing the same thing when she did it just fine (FYI I warned her last night that I was going to do it sense she was the one with the camera)! :-) Thanks A.!

Last night, some girlfriends and I decided to go out and take part in the Halloween "fun" of going to a haunted house. We began the evening with dinner and "megarees" (margaritas) at a local restaurant then headed to Fearfest in Aimee's pregnant roller skate of a car. Once out there, we got a quick pic with the only creature that would let us and headed into the house...
It was pretty scary...not because of what it was, but because it was pretty dark and you couldn't see around the corners (where there would be someone waiting to jump out and scream at you.) At one point in the house you had to crawl through a small hole in the wall that eventually led you out of the house...that was pretty weird, but not too scary. Then you walked through the insane asylum...not too scary, just a lot of people acting crazy and screaming in your face (that got pretty annoying by the end of it all...but I guess that was all they could do since the rules stated that they couldn't touch you).

Anyways, then we went on the cornfield hay ride. The tractor took us to the back of the corn field where all the ghouls were walking out of the corn towards us...then they all stopped and started dancing the "Thriller" dance. So naturally, we all got up and danced too!!! But as we were preoccupied with the dancing, other ghouls come up behind us and scared all of us pretty badly.

Then they told us that we had to get out off of the hayride and walk back through the corn field maze. This wasn't sooo bad, as you could kinda see where the next person was waiting for you. However, there was a guy with a chainsaw that kept running after us. But he quickly lost interest in me when I asked if we could get a picture with him (I needed stuff for this post!!!) They said that they couldn't take pics...so they left us to go scare other unsuspecting guests.

It was a fun evening. I wouldn't say I was terrified...only slightly spooked on a few occasions. All in all, a good time. And glad to have gotten in on the Halloween spirit.

I would of paid to watch you girls dance to the Thriller.
You would get a kick out of the N.E. Mpls Zombie Pub Crawl.
Not sure if they do it every year but I witnessed it in Oct. 2005 by Jimmys Bar, and they were freaky, there must of been 100 zombies roaming the streets and bars of N.E. Mpls... sure they scared alot of kids! And maybe some drunks too!!!
