entertainment, and whether people enjoy them?

Or houses that are supposed to actually be haunted, and whether people believe in such things?

Lines are too long and they're too expensive.

I think they sound like fun. I would go if they were cheap and didn't have huge line and were scary.

So many of them play on awful stereotypes. It is a terrible message to send to people with mental health challenges. It's hard enough to deal with the challenges of a psychiatric diagnosis. Why exploit the stigma and prejudices.

No one would consider a children's cancer ward as a source of cheap amusement...
