Haunted Houses

Every Halloween many people love to go to haunted houses. I am not one of those people. I have just recently went to my first haunted house. It was my friends sixteenth birthday so I had to go. When we got to the haunted houses it took all of us like ten minutes to get the nerve to just go in. We went ahead and bought the combo ticket. We first went to the catacombs. We got down there and waited for a big group to come. My friend Brandi (it was her sixteenth birthday, her idea to go, and she was just as scared as I was) and I walked with our head buried in our friends' backs and kept our eyes closed for most of it. Brandi decided when we were three fourths of the way done that she wanted out. She told the guy that was handing out 3D glasses that she was about to have a panic attack and needed out. She drug me along with her. I kind of wanted to finish but our group had moved on and I wasn't going alone. Once we were both outside we were shaking. The others came out and said it was no big deal (they both love haunted houses and walked through it with a you don't scare me kind of attitude). They tried to get us to go through the House of Lecter but Brandi and I just couldn't do it. Looking back I feel that I could have made it through both. I freaked myself out more than the haunted houses did. If my friends decide to go again, I am going to go and make it through both haunted houses. I know I can if I don't psych myself out first.
