I’m not scary. Can I terrify someone in a haunted house?

From Tom Scott plus.

Kevin is @TheBackyardScientist. At Mortem Manor, a year-round haunted house in Orlando, Florida: I’m going to try and scare him. Happy Hallowe’en, everyone. ▪ Mortem Manor: https://www.mortemmanor.com/ – thanks to all the team there!

GENERAL CONTENT WARNINGS:
Probably rated PG-13 (US) or 12 (UK). Occasional minor jump-scares; some flickering lights, which follow an on-screen warning; stage blood and obviously-fake horror make-up, and (of course) horror themes and tropes throughout. One scene of threat with an (obviously fake) needle. A shark. Spiderwebs, but no spiders, despite what Kevin briefly thinks. Cthulhu, and references to sacrifice. Blurred implications of nastier things throughout, but nothing seen on screen!
