Haunted House Workers Expose The Odd And Bizarre Guest Behavior They've Witnessed (66 Stories)

People with diahrea like haunted houses for some reason.

About every third or fourth person through would have defecated themselves.

The haunted house was run by middle schoolers.

We had a haunted trail and a hayride through a haunted forest at the place I worked when I was a teen. One part of the forest was really dense and had trees packed in close, and at that part of the ride the park owners decked the trees out in all shades of neon glow-in-the-dark streamers and placed black lights to make it really trippy. Usually, as the hay ride started into that section, clowns would start flitting between the trees, inching closer and closer to the ride until the kids (and plenty of the adults) lost it.

One day, the clowns decided to bring along coolers with beer and have a little party. They ended up getting so drunk that about half of them laid down in the trail to stop the hay truck, and the other half tried to hijack the thing, hollering about raising their pay.

Another time, we trail tour guides deviated from the script a bit with a gag about an escaped convict, and a couple people called 911.

I was the guy at the end with the chainsaw for a while. It was a college town so that was a majority of our guest. Probably the worst that happened was show quickly friends would leave each other behind to get away. I due it a goal to split people of from their groups, but they made it too easy. There were girls that would push someone back towards me so they could escape. Or couples where the guy would have a shot down the hall and would leave the girl behind.

TLDR- Some of your friends are a guy with a chainsaw away from sacraficing you.

Edit: I've been gone all day, and just now saw this actually got submitted. I was on my phone which kept autocorrecting, freezing, and just being a pain. I didn't even proofread it, because I didn't think it got saved. I guess I was wrong!

I went to a haunted house back in HS with some friends and my gf at the time...she punched one of the workers when she got scared. She was kicked out.

A few years ago, the Haunted Storm Stadium featured a walkthrough with an Evil Alice in Wonderland theme. One of the rooms had many doors and only one could open. A young teen was on the floor in that room, and he was clearly in shock. My brother and I went through twice and he hadn't left. The Alice in this room didn't break character and asked us if we knew the way out, and did not reassure him or offer to help him.

When I was younger, like middle school age, we had a Haunted Woods in our town....It was run by the athletic association so some of the kids would help prepare...a few 10-12 year olds were used for a portion of the walk....

since their parents were the spookers the kids would blend in to the groups and would run out and grab their kid...the kid would yell and scream for help and people would get pretty scared...my brother was one of those kids and it was going pretty well for a few hours...

so my brother hops in with a group they go through and one of the guys (a werewolf) runs out and picks him up...Now at no point in the many times they did this did anybody ever step up to save him or do anything...this time a little girl like 5-7 starts attacking the werewolf and telling him to put him down now...so they were both shocked and my brother just continued through the rest of the woods...pretty courageous little girl.

I worked at a hunky dory haunted attraction for four years. My second year in the woods theres a particularly intense part where you are rushed by bloody machete men. This made a girl drop and begin seizing, but this was a haunted walk so the paramedics were not able to get to her easily. My boss loaded her up on a trailer attached to a lawn mower and she took a slow, slow ride of shame to the ambulance. (all was okay though.)

Also atleast once every year an actor gets punched in the face real hard.

I worked at a haunted house where a pregnant lady went through the more interactive and scary part of the house rather than the easy going side. She runs into 2 6'5 guys wielding real chainsaws minus the chain, yea she went into labor.

Not quite a haunted house employee, but back when I was living in Vancouver, Canada, I had decorated the house (which was quite massive with stones, plus it had the creepy trees in front of it) with a bunch of cobwebs, fake blood spatter, "do not enter" signs, a fog machine and dry ice. For the extra mile I had played creepy sound effects on the stereo that could be heard from down the street. There was only one light on, which was the house lamp post (not the city lamps) and it illuminated the front entrance porch with the old bench. I dressed up as a scarecrow, a blend of Freddy Krueger and Jeepers Creepers. I sat on that bench, motionless.

Needless to say, I had scared a few kids. However, there were some shitheads (high school teens) that I noticed. They were egging the house, ruining the decor, chucking empty beer and vodka bottles. And they also broke the fog machine. They then went on the "scarecrow".

Being 6'4" and quite big, I just stood up. They then proceeded to defecate themselves. It took them at least 15 minutes to realize they got their wallets taken. In that time I just phoned the police, gave the cops the IDs and they were sent off.

Had to be the best Halloween I have ever had. Even better than lighting up a ton of fireworks.

Not the worst, but the best. I work at a haunted hayride where we're permitted to jump onto the wagons, and in my scene there were three of us girls, and two boys. We made up a story that we were all married to one of these guys, but we were all unalive and he was trying to sell our graves. I asked people to be my husband because mine was unalive and was a real drag, so there was this one guy who one of the other girls and I were bickering about who got to keep him, and he was really cocky about it, yelling how he had two offers and how he was the man. Then the other girl with us came up next to him and started banging on the wagon and screaming, then the other guy working with us jumped over the back and got in his face. This guy went from cocky to scared, literally in his friends lap and screaming in about .5 seconds. It was fantastic.

I've worked several seasons at a haunted house, and I've seen some drunks throw up, pass out, etc., but the weird thing that has happened several times is that sometimes when I jump out and scare a female customer, her reaction will be to kiss me! The first time, I just thought, "okay, that was weird, interesting girl." But then it happened several more times. I think it's just some kind of weird defense mechanism. I mean, I think they must know that they're not in *actual* danger, but by kissing they are quickly negotiating the social situation into a non-scary situation that they are in control of.

It's happened to several of the guys that have worked here. But it's never happened to Lance. Sorry, bro. Maybe this year.

I don't work there, but I seen one guy get so scared he punched the zombie that come out the wall, in the face. Then was pissed on why the zombie scared him.... You payed money to be scared. Do you also pay money for a car and expect it to just stand there?

I only worked at a haunted house one night in order to help a friend, and it was definitely an eventful one. One of the guys that my friend and I scared wet his pants. Another guy got so angry at me because I wouldn't tell him how to get out of a haunted maze that he threatened me. His girlfriend then got mad at him that he would threaten a girl just because he was scared and he started crying uncontrollably. I'm almost positive that she broke up with him on the spot. Definitely an interesting night!

Big black man tried to hit me, missed, then ran as fast as he could out of there. Immediately after he was out of the room it smelled like feces. I got to witness fight, feces, and flight all in one go.

Had a two way mirror on one side of my door. My partner would flip the switch then I'd scream and holler and beat on the window that I would take their lives. Anyway they would pass through and i would pop out from behind a black cloth not even 5 seconds later this 6'3" teenage guy completely sober sees me (5'1" Pettit FEMALE) and decides to punch me in the throat -.- he then comes to my chain saw room on the other side of the door ten minutes later and punches my partner with the chain saw. Needless to say someone has assult charges over something stupid.

Well, I worked in a haunted house. Two stories. First, I once was so tired and thought I could do it fast enough, but I couldn't, and like, 3 groups walked by while I was urinating in a bottle. It was dark, but still, they were feet away. This one is my favorite; we had to get groups through the hallway so a guy with a fake chainsaw made them hurry through the pitch black hallway. I was at the end with a mask on and I was in a cage. I would turn on a strobe light when they walked into the cage, growl, and they'd see they had to go left. One group sprinted away from the chainsaw, and broke into my cage. I heard groaning and whispered "umm.... Go to the left..." And they limped away. It took me 20 minutes to fix that dumb cage, and many groups went through in that time. I laughed as they were walking away though.

I work in what we call the dark maze. I wear solid black aside from my face mask which I custom painted glow in dark. I built the maze and work in it with my best friend every year we know it forward and backward every corner and trap door so we walk backward all the time. I heard a rather loud what the hell yelled from the other side of the maze when I made my way over there it was my best friend telling a guy to get the hell out if here. He backed up straight into a guy beating off. Who the hell does that kinda stuff.....

My favorites from my time working are when a larger women came through intoxicated and couldn't figure out the maze because we closed the exit. She then flashed us to try and have us let her out and eventually she urinated right on the floor.

Another is when a women thought high heels at a haunted house was a good idea and when she went down the slide she completely shattered her ankle.

Several years back I went through a haunted house as a creepy jester. I ended up scaring the people working the haunted house. They asked me to stay and scare people.

I have friends that work at Halloween Horror Nights and they all have been punched in the face at least once, guess its just flight or fight.
