Haunted houses anyone? (Original Post)

(49,106 posts)1. What is your question about? Halloween-season fake haunted houses for
entertainment, and whether people enjoy them?
Or houses that are supposed to actually be haunted, and whether people believe in such things?

Lines are too long and they're too expensive.
I think they sound like fun. I would go if they were cheap and didn't have huge line and were scary.

So many of them play on awful stereotypes. It is a terrible message to send to people with mental health challenges. It's hard enough to deal with the challenges of a psychiatric diagnosis. Why exploit the stigma and prejudices.
