Maybe of horror movies or haunted houses? I was! I would never watch horror movies or go to haunted houses. I would miss a large part of Halloween and I wanted that to change. It did when I volunteered at a haunted house.
My baseball team was going to Cooperators for a big tournament. Only problem was that it cost $10,000. 00 per team to enter the tournament. We would ask different companies to donate to our team. One company offered our team $2,000.
If our team volunteered to work it's haunted house. I offered to work all three nights. On the first night I showed up and older kids showed me what I would be doing. I would be guiding the groups through the house and making sure that no one tried to get out the em
...ergency exits. They had me and my teammates go through the house so that we could familiarize ourselves with the route and scenes. The haunted house then opened! My teammate and I would bring one group through the house.
When we were half way through, the next group would start, and so on. I was Just as scared as the people I was guiding! The only way I was getting through this, was to keep thinking about Cooperators. Then, It happened! We had a break. As people walked In and out to take their breaks, I noticed that some of the "monsters" were coming In and taking their masks and makeup off.
It hit me! This was Just a show. The other people working the haunted house were Just regular kids Like me. They would ask "Ho
Is It going," and "
Are you having fun. " I would reply " It's going great and I'm having a fun time. " When my break was over, the next group I brought through was a lot easier to handle because I could recognize some of the people. I was not afraid anymore, which was good considering I had two more days of gulden people through the haunted house.
Because I volunteered at the haunted house, I can now watch some horror movies and do appreciate the haunting effects more at Halloween. I even attempt to scare people now!
