We are talking about a true house of horrors that will put you in the fetal position and give you nightmares for weeks. If this is what you are seeking, then you are not talking about amateurs; you need to be looking for professionals who know what they are doing in every way. So, without further adieu, let's start searching for the scare of your life. The Boise area has many haunted houses that pop up during the season, but as we said earlier, you are a connoisseur of frightful places, and you are looking for that perfect visit on the scariest of nights. So, let's talk about what you should be looking for.

The best haunted house experience!

We won't lie to you; the building in which the haunted house is located matters a lot. It can start your experience before one thing even pops out at you. For example, a decaying 19th-century prison would be spooky even in the daytime and without anything added. Especially if you also knew that many of the inmates went insane through being in solitary confinement for too long. So, definitely look for a spooky building setting if possible. Another great thing to have when looking for a spooky building is to find out if it has its fair share of ghost stories. Knowing this in your mind will heighten your senses during each moment you spend in your own house of fright. Well, at least you and a few other people, that is. Another very important aspect to look for is a design that plays off of the architecture and features of the structure. For instance, in the example of the haunted prison, you would expect to experience rooms like a haunted hospital room or a decrepit shower area. And we can't forget about those who are creating all of the effects. The attraction needs some folks who know how to hook up animatronics, build props, and create the ambiance.

We haven't yet talked about one of the most important aspects of a haunted experience. In our opinion, it is best if there is a cohesive narrative throughout your tour. You want to feel like you have been pulled into a really scary story. What does that mean? It means that you understand that there is a beginning, middle, and end to the story you are experiencing, and as each facet is revealed, you are also being made to feel very uncomfortable and on edge. This means a number of times during your walk when you are blown away by something or someone popping out and startling you out of your shoes. Connected to this is to have designed a lot of distraction into your stroll. That way, you never see what's coming. This is part of the art form that we mentioned earlier. There needs to be a certain pacing while the underlying uneasiness is always present. But, at the same time, just as your heart rate comes down, here comes another major scare. This will keep you on a roller coaster, providing you with the time of your life. Most of the things we share here are techniques that most people give no thought to, but they make all the difference in the world. For instance, having your path curve a lot is a very good idea. This keeps one group of people walking behind from seeing what just happened ahead, and in this way, they are not anticipating anything. There is so much more we could say about what to look for in a top-notch scare, but this should help you start your search. Remember, when you find the perfect haunted house, make sure you take a few friends. You might as well be terrified together.
