We're all for terrifying haunted houses that border on crazy. But going through a haunted naked? No thanks, pal.
Shocktoberfest Pennsylvania's "premiere haunted scream park" is really trying to push the limits of reason with their all-nude Haunted House revue. And if you get so scared you piss yourself, and/or the house? Don't worry! They hired someone to clean that up for you (although there is a small cleaning charge). Here are the details:
Naked and Scared Challenge
Think you’re brave? Experience The Unknown haunted house with ZERO protection! We dare you to take the Naked and Scared Challenge only at Shocktoberfest!
Inspired by the hit show “Naked and Afraid” on the Discovery channel, Shocktoberfest has created The Naked and Scared Challenge to test your fears and phobias on a whole new level. For the first time ever you can now experience the Unknown Haunted House totally naked! See if you have Gymnophobia- the fear of being nude. Naked and Scared tickets are limited. Online ticket purchase recommended.
Procedure and Disclaimer
Procedure: The Naked and Scared Challenge allows participants to go through the Unknown Haunted House Nude or Prude (either totally nude or with underwear). It takes place at the end of the night after all customers have gone through the attraction. Participants must be 18 years of age or older and must sign a waiver. Participants undress in a semi-private preshow building, experience the Unknown Haunted House, and then exist into a semi-private fenced courtyard where they will get dressed. Participants are never in view of minors or non-participating customers. Naked and Scared Challenge is not offered on Sundays.
Disclaimer: Shocktoberfest has created this experience so their customers can explore a new level of fear. This is about fear and pushing oneself out of their comfort zone. This is not about sex. No sexual misconduct, inappropriate or disrespectful behavior will be tolerated.
Personally, I prefer NYC's Blackout Haunted House, where only the people trying to scare you are naked. Not sure I can handle my wobbly bits swinging around in the dark whilst a scarecrow yells "Boo."
