On holiday in benidorm
With the parents and other siblings we did the usual touristy stuff. However half way through the holiday wondering around (AKA lost) we came across a mini theme park. The parents having walked around enough already probably thought it's a great place to have rest while us kids have some fun on moderately fast and ill maintained contraptions. We did as kids do and scampered off, each in a different direction.

I went looking for the rides that looked scary, knowing that they tended to be the best. And I found it, it looked like an uber scary haunted house. I paid the entrance fee and entered. It was a room with four other people ready for the ride. An introduction about it was put over a very loud sound system, first in Spanish, then English and then something else, German I think.

So after the introduction was done we all then looked at death, who was stood there and waited for something to happen. Eventually he moved and pointed in the direction to enter the ride. But it wasn't a ride with carts to ride but it was a walk through type ride. In one room a skeleton popped out of a coffin, in another a shelf full of pots and pans fell to the ground. All sudden loud noises good at making you jump, and a girl scream several times. Then there was a new sound.

*Brrrr*

It came from behind us, nobody looked back to see what it was, not even me, I was too scared of what might be up ahead.

*Brrrrrrrrrr*

It sounded like it was getting closer and I had a thought of what it might be when,

*Brrrr brrrrraaam ber ber braaaam ber ber ber braaaaaaaaaaam*

Bloody hell it was. Someone behind us had started up a chainsaw!

*Braaaaaaam braaaaaaaaam braaaaaaaaaaaam braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam*

It was getting closer and immediately at that moment the survival instinct kicked in and told me to "Fucking leg it". I did, I ran through small corridors turning left and right as fast as my legs could move. The chainsaw was blasting away at top revs and getting closer, I was sure at any moment the blade would find me and chop me to pieces. Finally up ahead an exit sign on a door signalled freedom, which opened as I approached it. The door led to the outside and I breathed in a lungful of the freshest air I've ever breathed, and realised at the same time that everyone else on the tour were also outside.

Scared? I nearly did an evacuation from all orifices.

They take the chain off
We had a chainsaw at the last World Zombie Day and everyone wanted to be attacked with it - without a chain they're totally harmless.

That sounds like a lot of fun
and it was years before I found out about the lack of chain for such purposes.

dunno if its been mentioned here
but apparently the ghost house at blackpool pleasure beach does this.

at some point hellraiser chases you and people burst through a door, screaming and shouting to find "safety" is the middle of a pub

Hahahaha, a pub?
That is absolute genius.

Why would you be afraid of "hellraiser"?
Perhaps I've had one too many pointy pieces of metal pulled on me but, frankly, I'm more worried by groups of drunks on a Friday night than people in masks with "weapons" of dubious lethality.
