13 Things You Should Know Before Taking Your Kids to a Haunted House

If your kid jumps at the sound of a door closing a little too aggressively, maybe this isn't the best idea you've ever had.

Is this thing Scooby-Doo level or "I watched It as a kid so your kid will be fine" type of scary?

If you get scared and need to make a run for it, at least you'll know your kid can attempt to catch up with you without stubbing a toe.

Actually, just bring some either way. Humans have less control over their bowels and bladder when they're scared — isn't that fun?

Keep your favorite top at home if you don't want it hanging to your knees the next time you wear it.

It’s just ketchup!

"It was fake! Yes, I know it looked like that man's legs were cut off, but they were just buried under the couch cushion, I swear!"

Haunted house employees live for fear-induced bodily functions . . . proceed at your own risk.

Stick that kid right in the middle — the ruthless employees don't care that scaring your child makes your life a living hell.

Whether it's their piercing screams that get you or the scary things in the house, you're in for a long night.

Guess you're going back to watching Disney Junior Halloween specials.

Night lights just aren't going to hack it anymore.

It's like you took a nightmare home with you.
