Pug’s Place

As I mentioned on Tuesday, last night was Haunted Hume. Essentially, 16 of the 18 floors in the Hume Honors Residence Hall decorated their floors and essentially made their own haunted houses…

I had a very good time. The little kids in general loved my costume. I had a great group of about 8 girls aged all around 12. They were, of course, not going to be scared… yeah right! (I did a lot of hand holding. *grin*) Everyone in Hume did an outstanding job, and they sank a lot of real effort into their haunted houses! Especially the two mental asylum ones…

One of them was just disturbing. I mean, a guy walking around wearing a bicycle helmet and occasionally going insane and ramming his head
into a wall like a bull… the doctor operating on the kitchen counter — sawing off some guy’s leg while he screamed… The dude who kept asking me for rice. “I..I… I like…. it. I like it…. I…”

One floor did “The Enchanted Forest” with all the fairies and stuff. It was all pretty and happy until two — uhh, werewolves, I think — came and started wrecking up the place in front of my group. Running between the girls, startling the heck out of them. Oh no!

Luckily some odd shadowy adventurer man knifed both the werewolves and quickly guided us to the exit, before more came!

They even pulled off some mazes by creatively using plastic black garbage bags … Good mazes, too! One of which somewhat disturbed me, too, because I saw we had gone past that particular spot several times… yet we had never turned around. I figured it out when I was waiting at this one corner as the girls in front of me were huddled together scared into shriek mode and the wall behind me started pushing me. I mean, matte black wall…

I figured out that a couple of the walls were *people* and they were changing the maze!

(22:23:49) PugLord02: Honors kids can be pretty smart.

(22:24:02) Katie: Shocking, eh?

Theresa was a very good Ninja, too. She felt bad for accidentally scaring some kids, but I’m sure she’ll post a good brief about her night on her blog. I’ll link it as soon as I see it.
