The weeks leading up to Halloween everyone is looking for a good scare. People adorn their houses with creepy, and sometimes silly decorations, flock to movie theaters to wince at the gore of the latest thriller, and line the blocks outside of haunted houses.

But haven’t we seen everything before? Will there come a time when the average Halloween fanatic will yawn in the face of dead zombie Nazi clowns, instead of shrieking and running in the opposite direction? Will ghost pirates or vengeful spirits become a bore? Perhaps instead of blood curdling shrieks emanating from these hallowed halls, we will instead hear lulling snores floating from the cracks of the blood-splattered windows.

If you’re looking for a good authentic scare, head on down to Caroline’s House of Horrors, with 27 rooms of the most terrifying stuff imaginable, catered to spooking the socks off the modern-day average joe.

You’ll have nightmares after visiting the Hall of Rejection. You’ll shuffle through denied college applications and the discarded love letters that litter the floor, and come face to face with sputtering, red-faced evil bosses poised to crush your ideas and your dreams with a single shout. You can try to turn and run, but you’ll only get lost in the neverending maze of F’s on report cards and pointing fingers. Grating voices wail: “you’re not good enough”, as the inescapable of sound of cackling fills the hall. You’ll feel the color drain from your face as you realize they aren’t laughing with you… they’re laughing at you! (*gasp*)

After the Hall of Rejection victims... *ahem* visitors are ushered into the the Dungeon of Debt (muhahaha). This room is not for the claustrophobic or faint of heart. Student loans and mortgages squeeze the walls of the already confining dungeon, threatening it to implode. You’ll barely be able to eek out a squeak, as you struggle to find the surface of the sea of crushing debt. You’ll feel like you’re drowning in debt, and the thing that will make you really sweat the realization that you really are.

You may come to the Caroline’s House of Horror with a group of friends, but they will be no where to be found in the room simply titled The Void. With blackness stretching seemingly to infinity, you can try to wail out for your companions, but in the emptiness of the void your voice will be reduced to a murmur. Running through the void only results in complete disorientation, and although there is no conceivable matter to produce an echo, curiously you’ll hear your own cries bounce back to you saying “I’m so alone… alone… alone…  “. Eventually there will be nothing left to do but to curl up in a fetal position and whimper. Don’t worry, we’ll come and get you, but not before you’re thoroughly spooked by the prospect of your mental isolation! But put your mind at rest… we’ve only lost five guests in The Void this season.

Caroline’s House of Horror is a unique scaring experience.  You’ll be ripped of all of the things that you loved and all of your worst fears will drown you in screams as you stumble through our haunted halls. Forget those images of bloody handprints and skewered corpses...the House preys on your deepest darkest fears. You won’t be able to close your eyes and whisper to yourself “it’s not real, it’s not real…” because the horrifying truth is: it is! After all… what’s more terrifying than reality??
