Thread: Scary-O-Type list

Tweet

How scared do you get in horror movies and/or haunted houses? I worked at a haunted house for one season. I devised a list of Scary-O-Types to let you figure it out.
Stoneface: Hard or almost impossible to scare.
Screamer: Screams at the top of the lungs.
Clinger. Clings to another person.
Squealer/jumper: emits short screams or squeals.
Gasper/Gagger: can't stand blood or gore.
Freaker outer/fighter: freaks out or wants to touch back when touched. Freaks out when encountering a chainsaw.

Um... I'm a giggler and then offer critique. Confuses the heck out of the scare actors. I'm usually in the front too, since I like going first.

We go to the best area haunted houses each year but two years ago I got this funny habit. When scared/surprised very badly I have this involuntary reflex of squatting down....thats neither fight or flight. Its really gonna come in handy when actually faced with a life threatening situation don't you think? It makes my sister laugh every time it happens.

Hmmm... I think it depends on what type of haunt it is. Professional ones- When they push you through like cattle it's stone faced because you hear someone shriek 20' infront of you and then it's harder to get a scare. If they space you out good- one year it was me and two friends completely alone in an old prison- then I was a jumper.
Witchful- that's great!

At haunted houses, I'm a shrieker, clinger, and/or adrenaline seeker.
During scary movies, I'm a jumper and squealer and the person that's like "Don't go in there! Don't go in there! Don't go in there!" :O

I'm a clinger, a giggler, and an oh my god gasper

probably... a squealer clinger! LOLOLOL

I once went to a haunted house with my brother and a man with a chainsaw came right at us and the group of people we were with at the end. Everyone took off running and I just stood there frozen with my hands over my eyes. Like if I couldn't see him he couldn't hurt me LOL

@ witchfulthinking: LOL oh no! That just sounds so funny!
