      I would love to go, but those live animals are another story...they're not in on the act. If these things are scary to us, I can only imagine how the animals feel. Not a humane environment for them. Is there any way the owner to reconsider using them?

    • @BombBird11
      @BombBird11 Před rokem +4

      @@ncorp2668 Oh please, I'm sure the animals are fine. I can understand if you're genuinely worried about them, that's fine, but I'm pretty sure the owners take good care of them. It's not like the animals are out in the open, outside of their cages and glass containers, with people coming close to stepping on them. As long as they're kept behind the glass and everything, they're perfectly fine. It's like going to any pet shop, and seeing the loads of animals there, knowing damn well that there's obviously someone taking care of them while they wait for a new owner to take them home. At least, that's the way I see it, anyways. 🤷‍♂

    Hear me out, the execution for the monochrome makeup and costumes is OUTSTANDING. Not only does it fit the plot of the “darkness” infecting people, but it makes the cast so unique in a way.

    Very good "Nightmare" haunt. I loved how everyone was in make-up and had a character from the beginning through the midway area. I also appreciated the guide actors that transition you from room to room, instead of like in most of the big park haunts that give you some person with a black t-shirt and a radio just waiving you on . That sort of calms you down for the next area of creepy fun. Your Gypsy host was awesome. Thank you Jacob.

  • @bg199083

    I love the behind the scenes look of what makes a Haunted Attraction soo special. They not only get the best animatronics from around the United States, but they get the best scare actors/makeup artist/engineers/sound artists from around the globe or in the U.S. That what makes Haunt Season special from meeting new people, making lifelong friends, and being a one big happy zombie infested family. To all the people who work a haunted attraction, you make us scare our pants with fear but gives you and us an adrenaline rush. Love you scares Jake (you make me laugh 😂😂)!

    i think Hells Gate adds a new motto to your "no scares on stairs", being: "no hiding while sliding". A really jump scaring, beautifully composed, mansion and garden. My guess the actors had a little special preparation and lots of fun in scaring their special guest: Jacob.
    So many people putting so much effort and passion into this!

Excellent makeup and the entire time I watched I was thinking omg what if a place like this existed!!! That would be my worst nightmare, so scary. Also want to add that it was a lot to see and experience which makes it even more worth going to see. Simplay amazing that they let you in to film, and they gave you the VIP treatment, which lets me know how much of a professional image they have. Also what more can you ask for at the end... A GIFT SHOP OMG!!!!!!!! I love this so very much!!! Thank you for sharing this with us Carpetbagger, your awesome!
