Haunted houses are definitely my favorite thing about autumn. And with the spookiest month of the year approaching, you might find yourself going on a haunted house tour.
Here are some essentials to bring with you to any haunted house. I hope this will make your scaring a little easier on you.
1. An empty stomach
You never know how scary the haunted house will be, so it is better the be safe than sorry!
You may have to run, and a full stomach would just slow you down.
2. Your friends
It is better to go to scary houses with a group of friends. You need to have people around you at all times to hold on to.
That is, unless you say a friends name, or they say yours, and the actors just repeat your name in scary voices over and over again. (True story! Thanks, Mom.)
3. A good old pair of running shoes
You'll need these for comfort (and potentially to save your life).
4. A flashlight (and batteries)
If you go on an outdoor trail tour, you will absolutely need a flash light — and extra batteries.
5. A pull over or hoodie
During October, it gets chilly, so it is best to take a sweater to stay warm (and to hide in).
6. Your phone and charger
Most horror houses do not permit flash photography or cell phone usage, but if you get lost and seriously cannot find your way out, you'll have your cell phone!
7. A stable heart
Your heart is definitely going to be racing the whole night, so make sure you aren't going to have a heart attack from being scared.
8. Water
Your adrenaline is going to be pumping. Drink some water to cool down.
9. Money
All of the running, screaming and pure terror will help you build up an appetite. Concessions are expensive, though, so have some cash on you!
10. A backpack
This one's for storing all your other necessities!
