No Fall Scaries
Fall: football, pumpkin spice (and everything nice), sweaters, pumpkin patches, Halloween, changing leaves, and so much more. Fall is one of my favorite times of year for many reasons— but haunted houses and scary movies are not one of them.
Haunted Houses
Haunted houses are dark with scary creatures running around to frighten you. Because of that, I will not be attending a haunted house this season— or any season really!
Have you ever walked up to a dark house with a mask of fog and decorations that talk to say “trick or treat” on Halloween? One time I did, and an adult wearing a long black cloak with a scary mask covering his face jumped out and scared me so bad that I ran home crying. Granted, I was much younger then, but I will never visit a haunted house because of that terror.
Scary Movies
Another fall scary that I will not participate in is watching scary movies. Maybe it has to do with my traumatizing experience, but I can’t sit and watch a movie whose purpose is to scare me. I want to prevent nightmares at all costs.
Pumpkin Patch
On the other hand, pumpkin patches are a Fall favorite I enjoy. Carving pumpkins has been my favorite Fall tradition for years. I enjoy crafting a new face each year and spending time with loved ones. The insides are icky, but it makes for lots of laughs!
Haunted houses and scary movies are Fall “scaries” that I will not partake in— Farmer in the Dell’s pumpkin patch is more my speed. If you like going to haunted houses, I’ve heard Sleepy Hollow Haunted Farm is the best in Auburn.
Have some “skele-fun” this Fall and
Be Well, Auburn.
