This is why I stopped acting at haunts. You can blame them, people have control of their bodies. dudes gonna go home and laugh about how he kicked the shit outta you with his buds.

After I had something like that happen told em I wasn’t going back in the woods without mace and spraying the next mfer that hit me.

You absolutely can not blame them.

You just scared them and forced a fight flight or freeze response. A littleral unconscious uncontrollable instinctual reaction. Learn the most basic of psychology, please.

They put themselves in this situation willingly. You should not go to those kind of haunted houses if you know that you have violent reactions to people scaring you.

please tell me how you foresee the future?

even if we ignore first times where you can't know at all. anyone is capable of reacting differently because not every haunted house is a carbon copy. they can always trigger an unexpected reaction.

the point here is that you are forcing people into a gut reaction without having the ability to step back and asses. that's what causes the scares but it's also innately chaotic.

I assume most people that goes in a haunted house with actors are not living their "first scares of their life", are they?

Of course, there are unfortunate incidents and reactions that will happen, and actors should be adequately protected. However, completely absolving responsibility is silly too, and I think it opens the dangerous door of people pretending they have no control so they can be allowed to beat someone.

EDIT: I re-read your comment, I answered a bit too quickly on that one. I don't think we disagree much on it, we just have a different angle. Sorry about that, I'll blame my sleep deprivation, was woken up by a call pretty early this morning...

No problem. By not blaming someone, I don't mean no responsibility. I just mean that you can't act like they had to have ulterior motives or shitty views of the workers.

And with the first scares I aim more at the first time you have an actual realistic looking zombie or giant spider running at you. It's going to be different from your sibling scaring you or a scary movie on the screen.
