Don't you love your memories of childhood Halloween adventures? Dressing up in a costume, maybe some toxic make-up for effect, and at the end of the evening a bag of very unhealthy edibles to show for your effort? If you were really lucky (or in my case, unlucky), you'd get a visit to the local haunted house filled with shriek-able horrors. And the horrors never stop...
A friend sent me a newspaper article from her area of the country that featured Egan Escape Productions, a company that produces haunted houses around the USA. They have partnered with another company called AromaPrime. Yep, you guessed it! They are now scenting haunted houses. Not only can you have a heart attack from the adrenaline rushes of pure fright, but you can be poisoned! The article went on to say they had problems with the scents of vomit, rotting corpses, dentist offices, volcanoes, boiled or burning flesh, gunpowder, mold/mildew, etc., claiming they were too strong...haunted house victims were getting sick and vomiting all over the stage settings.
I wondered are they vomiting because the smells are bad or because they are being poisoned by the toxic chemicals used to make the scents?
Will this stupidity never end??
