It's October now, which means you have to go to a haunted house. Nothing brings me more joy and fear than a good haunted house. It is the thrill of someone popping out or creepily following behind you that gives you such an adrenaline rush. Nothing says "Halloween" more than the sound of a chainsaw and high-pitched screams. Here are the stages we all go through while demons pop out at us:

1. Skepticism

Slowly starting to walk into the haunted house, peeking around every corner because you know someone is about to pop out. Throughout the entire haunted house, you are looking over your shoulder and peeking around corners.

2. Screaming

The first scare is the best because the person jumps out and you let out the most blood-curdling scream. This is the only place where it is a person's job to get you to scream at the top of your lungs. Better take advantage!

3. Anger

Seeing the faces of every haunted house employee and feeling angry at them even though they are just doing their job. Even yelling at them makes you feel somewhat better.

4. Self- Defense

Accidentally punching a scary demon in the face is acceptable because it is a natural reaction, right?

5. Screaming and Crying

That moment when you think you are safe from being scared and someone brings out the chainsaw. I have never run so fast in my life to get away.

6. Acceptance

Even though you lost your voice from screaming and your pants are wet from accidentally peeing yourself, no one can see, don't worry. Hopefully no one sees your tears either, because that haunted house is scarring.

7. Relief

No better feeling then leaving the haunted house and saying to yourself: "That wasn't even scary!" even though you are trembling—then you get home and cannot sleep because you are still frightened.
