Tips for visiting haunts

From Dottie:

What to take to make sure your haunted house trip is not a real nightmare:

1. Wear layers. Always wear too many clothes. Gloves, hats, scarves etc. Always plenty of time in line to put some back in the car if you need to.
2. Its the world of port-a-pottys: pack a little flashlight, hand sanitizer, toilet paper.
3. A snack if you are really cheap. Its cold and that will make you starve.
4. If you are the scaredy cat like me, be sure the person in your group ahead of you is wearing a hoodie. Trixie thought of this. Holding onto her hood is my Linus blanket through the haunts.
5. Bring cash, don't expect them to take any form of plastic. Bring extra because there might be a fortune teller, some wonderful weird snack food, a pumpkin, or another nearby haunted house you want to try.
6. Get your coupons from Fearfinder or online from the individual house you are going to. Weekdays are often cheaper and the lines are shorter.
7. Don't carry much (except a little backpack is ok). Wear something with pockets that zip. How many times have we heard people say they lost heir car keys/cell in the house? That's a real nightmare!
8. Wear shoes that are warm and that can get dirty.
