I literally Scream... and not for ice cream

Just two words ladies and gentleman:

HAUNTED HOUSE!!!!!

That's what we did after FHE tonight! It was a little spontaneous and random, but super duper fun and very scary!

And the thing I loved about this haunted house was that it was actually very educational... if that's even possible! See instead of just plain old people dressed up like ghouls and goblins and ghosts, each room was a scene representing a different scary story, and most of these scary stories were of literary merit. We're talking about: 
  • The Tale Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe
  • Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson 
  • Sweeney Todd (this actually is a play based off the literary classic The Demon Barber of Fleet Street by Christopher Bond)
  • Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
  • Dracula by Bram Stoker
  • The Hound of Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Connan Doyle
It was fun to go through and be able to recognize the different fictional characters and scream at the top of my lungs at the same time! :) 
Here's Vanessa, Me and Hannah right before we went in!


Then afterwards we went and got 99 cent hot chocolates to 
help us forget our fear and give us the warm fuzzies. :) 
These 99 cent hot chocolates are going on at Maverick the whole month of October, so head down and get one you guys! It's totally worth it! (plus you can get free mini marshmallows with it! :) 



Happy Halloween Everyone!!!
~Keep Screamin... and Smiling~ :)
