Las Vegas Haunted House Links 2009
Las Vegas goes all out for Halloween, the pseudo holiday made especially for the neon nirvana. The haunted houses that suddenly appear around the city are considered to be some of the best in the country, and why not? Las Vegas is loaded with talent that enjoys scaring the crap out of unsuspecting folks if the price is right; but, some say the real reason Las Vegas haunted houses are so highly rated comes from something entirely different.
Las Vegas has a darker side that is rarely seen by outsiders and usually it's around the time the great pumpkin makes its annual visit when you can even get a glimpse. We've all heard the rumors and know someone that knows someone whose has met one of the real Vegas spooks.
The things that roam the shadows and dark tunnels, and shuns the sunshine like a plague. Old timers sometimes speak of shape shifters that have existed in the deserts around Las Vegas since time began, whose very existence is woven into the Native Americans' history of their people. Strange things that may move into the city to mingle with the haunted house crowds while searching for their next lost soul.
A little something to think about while you're standing in line waiting to scream your way through the dark creepy places of fear. Fun seekers occasionally get more than their ticket price when someone or something so strange passes by so close you think it walked right through you. You will feel it more than see it, your mouth will suddenly go so dry you can't even scream as a flash of fear passes through your being like a lighting bolt. So, how many of the temporary Haunted House fright actors are playing a role? How many are just playing their unnatural selves? We'll let you decide.
