I called Post Road Recreation Center tonight, October 31, to ask about the hours of their haunted escape rooms. The lady on the line said the last group goes in at 11:00, so try to get there by 10:30. I showed up at 9:50 and it’s completely dark without a car in the lot. No sign was even posted to explain their unannounced early closing, and as a result, my friends and I didn’t get a haunted house on Halloween this year. I called at 6:30 on October 31 regarding the hours of the haunted escape rooms that same night, and I didn’t get to see ANY events because the place was closed when I got there, despite what the employee said! I showed up at 9:50, which, IF the place was open until 11:00 like the employee TOLD me three hours earlier, should have been enough time. Now I don’t get a haunted anything for Halloween. I could have just gone to Necropolis, which was open until 11:00 for real. Further, I checked the website before Ieft, and it said, in bold letters top and center, “Open until 11pm on Halloween!” Then, when I got home and checked the website after driving all the way out there, only then did it say in smaller letters in the top left corner, “Halloween 5-9 pm”.

OK, so we ended up NOT doing dinner Halloween 2012. Apparently the east side Ryan’s now closes at 8 p.m. Shame about that. We showed up there at 8:15, VERY hungry, and they were closing up! Of course, the South Side Ryan’s is open later, but it’s not close to the haunted house we went to- Corpse Manor, located at Post Road Recreation Center (4700 North Post Road). That was pretty nice. Haunted houses don’t scare me. I seriously strutted around that entire haunted house all happy and content like I owned the place, excited as can be! So basically I went with my dad up to my grandma’s for an hour, rushed to Ryan’s and it was closed, hit up Corpse Manor, and then went to Menards to get extension cords. Eh. I have to say last Halloween was definitely better. TWO haunted houses, a FREE dinner at PONDEROSA, and best of all, MICHELLE BRANCH actually TALKED to me at her CONCERT!

Halloween 2011 > Halloween 2012

But Corpse Manor was amazing though. Incredibly worth it.
