On Haunted Houses of Horror...
[image via] My mom and sister were talking about Haunted Houses yesterday, and I couldn’t help but remember the one and only time I was scared absolutely shitless—- When I was five or six or so, the (then-existent) Denver Jaycees put on a Haunted House next to Rock Springs Elementary School.
