This past Sunday I ventured to Knott's Scary Farm for some pre-Halloween fun. First of all, it sounds like NOT Scary Farm which confused me. Did they name it that or was that given to it by the people who deemed it lame?

For those of you unfamiliar, it's basically an amusement park turned into a giant haunted house. Some of it is indeed not scary. I tried to act too cool for school when people in costume would approach me, follow me, or just jump out at me. I'd either try to calm them down by saying, "alright," whist holding up my hand OR I'd yell out "Oh my God," "Jesus!" or the F bomb.

Some of the "mazes" were creepy, some were expected, and others were sad. Highlights:

1. When we first entered the park a woman dressed in 18th century clothes followed us and yelled at my friend Pete, "EGON!" Jose and I were confused. Who is Egon? Is she saying EVIL?So we asked her. She stayed in character saying "EGON!" When we continued to be confused she explained, Egon from Ghostbusters. Turns out she thought Pete looked like a younger Harold Ramis (aka Dr. Egon Spengler). When we agreed with an "oooh..." she totally broke character saying, "Right?"

2. Getting some free, recently popped Kettle Korn. Delish.

3. Getting my hair touched by a creepy security guard on my way out of a maze called "Lockdown." Thankfully I had no idea but everyone else saw and thought it was weird.

4. At end of the "Labyrinth" maze, the last guy before the exit was leaning in his cubby hole, yawning.

5. Watching THE WORST stage show ever that attempted to be pop culture savy by having every summer blockbuster character in it like Optimus Prime and then also Susan Boyle. But even worse than the lame "too soon" Michael Jackson jokes was an employee stuck at one of the nearby booths mouthing all the words robotically. Tragic.

We also decided that if we worked there, we'd want to be the people who walked around the park messing with people all night and when that got boring, probably just take a nap in the bushes.
