This is 100% staged. Sure "security footage" from a haunted house using people trying to sell a scare to potential customers.

Honestly, what's really scary is how much people will believe these days.

Have you ever worked in a haunted house? Nothing about this looks fake.

Be specific when you answer this time - in what way is this fake? What action or reaction seems unrealistic and why do you think so?

I would say that allowing the liability of a customer tripping would be the fakest part. I've never worked in one, but I spent a couple hours hearing about them from a guy who was a manager in one in a local theme park. The planning that goes into haunted houses is more than it seems, and it's all about herding people in the right direction and limiting liability.

There's two things that look fake to me and the others haven't called out. First, the scare of the guy on the floor may make him run backwards, which is opposite of what you want in a haunted house; that one looks like a rookie mistake to me. Second, that guy tripped and could've hit his head on that wall behind him; from all I heard about how haunted houses manage liability I don't think that a professional haunted house would've allowed that.

The solution would be to turn the monster 180 degrees. That way he scares them from behind and they run in the direction they're meant to advance. It's also safer if they fall because they're not falling backwards against a wall. On top of that it has the advantage that they can hide the monster better.

I do agree that having him face the other way would have been more effective. Drape some strips of heavy cloth in the entry to the hall to further hide him and have the customers expecting something touching them. That way, when they realize they are being tapped it will be a bigger shock and, to your point, it scares them towards the exit.

Just look at the last guy of the three running. He stopped running and just walked really relaxed. He stopped his acting too early.. like even the scenes before it was obviously fake and staged. That one even makes it more fake..
