Well on this particular night, we volunteered. I was ushered in to the back where I hastily painted my face a lurid red and black. Then it was off to work. I went in where an empty room was. They told me "Work here!". So I did.
This will disappoint some people, but anyway, what can I say? I was a mischevious kid. Here is some of the things I did that night:
- Took a mannequin leg and bashed to pieces a speaker that was playing scary sounds.
- Took an old wig that was hanging in there.
- Grabbed a customer's arm when I popped out at her (we were instructed not to touch).
- Threw a worker's witch mask into a cauldron of unknown liquid. They searched and searched for it. Finally someone found it. It looked hilarious as they picked it up out of the goo! She said "How am I gonna wear it now?" and I heard plenty of "Who did it?"
- Abandoned my area and roamed all through the haunted house raising cain.
- Jumped up on a railing (we weren't supposed to).
- Fired off a fire extinguisher. Several times.
It was so much fun I was about to soil myself! But the fire extinguisher stunt really brought the show to a close. They had to evacuate and shut down the whole thing, put up the flaps and ventilate the thing. After the adrenaline wore off I felt bad about my frenzy of mischief. Oh well. That was the last year we volunteered, and the only time I acted like an idiot. I had fun though, and no real harm was done.
Except to that little speaker.
Oh yeah... the previous night -- me, Darin, and Troy, flash-lights in hand, had snuck into the place and took a little exploratory preview tour, if you know what I mean. Heh heh!
Well, I aint like that no more.

I remember the misadventures. As a matter of fact I believe you were fired as a volunteer and told to never come back! Dad
