What is the best scare you have ever given in a haunt?

Mine was last night at the Halloween Happening haunted house I work at! There was a group of about 6 teenage girls all walking together holding onto each other's shoulders. I was on one side and the other actor was on the other. We kept screaming at them revving our saws! They were screaming so loud! One blondie started to cry! They were REALLY freaking out!

Best...scare...ever!!

Actually, the best scare that I've ever seen was while standing in line, waiting inside the prison yard at Eastern State Penitentiary two or three years ago.

Despite the cold, it was really crowded and chaotic in there. One of the haunt actors was a shorter guy with a slim build, made up as a zombie. What he did was this: He'd crouch down really low to the ground, approach someone (usually female) who was looking in the other direction or just not paying attention, then rise up quickly, inches away from her face. He didn't do anything else, no touching, just stared.

One girl literally collapsed, screaming, when she turned her head and he was right there, uncomfortably close, inside her personal space.

It was fun watching him work the crowd that night.
