LOL! This thread about how the scariest part of haunted houses is the unscripted social interaction is spot on for us awkward folks. Keep this in mind for the coming spooky season, haha:

I went to a haunted house with friends once, (all of us well past 30) and my friend just walked around like he was at some sort of house showing, looking at the decorations and nodding to the actors. Meanwhile I was screaming my head off and running around trying to avoid getting “caught”. Afterwards, he asked me why I was so scared. I told him, “I wasn’t. But if you go to a haunted house and don’t allow yourself to enjoy ‘being scared’, then you’re missing out on half of the fun of it.”
I mean, if you’re socially awkward, and you simply forget to be scared, I guess that can’t be helped. (and is apparently funny?) But if you deliberately refuse to be scared, man, why even bother going at all? They aren’t “tests of courage”. They’re as much about suspension of disbelief as any movie-going experience. You don’t sit through a superhero movie, saying “there’s no such thing as people who can fly, and can’t be harmed by bullets, sheesh!” You enjoy the f’ing movie!
