The setting was Astor Park. I was probably 8 years old. The parkees had a "great" haunted house set up in the pavilion. I remember entering it on my hands and knees... being coaxed by my big sisters who had no idea what torture they were bestowing upon me. Not more than 3 minutes into it, "Dracula" jumped out of coffin. I doubt I have ever let out such a scream of horror in my entire life. "Dracula" apparently didn't like it, and proceeded to cover up my mouth with his hands. Oh, good idea, you stupid #**... touching me was a BRILLIANT idea. Cutting off air flow to my lungs after the largest exhale humanly possible was a brilliant plan. As fast as my scream had started, the hyper-ventilating was even faster. I was out of control and they had to open a secret exit and let me out. Between this incident, and my siblings taping me in a cardboard box and putting me in the shower, it's no wonder I panic when things are around my mouth. I couldn't even go into the Haunted house Barb and Teri made in their backyard shed - I cried of embarrassment in front of my friends. Thanks again, Dracula. Again, if it were 2007 when that happened, I could have sued for millions.... hhmmm.. wonder what the statute of limitations is for this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
