Hello everyone! As a reminder this is a satire subreddit for the dumb/silly things children do. The subreddit name is not literal. Although posts can have kids doing actual "stupid" things. It is not a requirement. Yes, blaming the parent is valid. However, this does not mean crossing the line into actually insulting the parent is ok (assuming they are the OP) (Rule #1).
This is also not a hate sub for children. If you don't like kids, that's fine. Just don't spread vitriol.
Am I the only weird one who doesn’t get scared in haunted houses? Please tell me I’m not. I just scan my surroundings in each room and find the person in the corner and wave at them
Some are scarier than others. My local ones done by the town and stuff are more for teenagers but I went to one in a building on the grounds of an old asylum that made me uncomfortable a few times. Having it set somewhere that was well known for being creepy even in the day made it easier to feel like someone crazy might actually be hanging around there because there's old tunnels underneath too they've caught people living in before they got security on the grounds full time.
The scariest haunted attraction in my state is the one I go to every year, and I’m never scared. My friends always want me to go first, and I’m happy to. I’m no fun because my dumb brain knows there isn’t any real danger, and these are just actors in costumes—even if they ARE chasing me with chainsaws. Aside from the occasional jump scare from actors jumping out, I mostly just have a fun time laughing, and talking to the actors :) (even though they can’t break character)
Someone needs to put me in a haunted house with ACTUAL murderers, and THEN I can be terrified properly.
Poor kid, lol. My mom's a college professor, and I remember insisting as a kid, I wanted to go to the college's haunted house. One encounter with a screaming 'insane asylum inmate' covered in blood and barely restrained by ropes later, and I was crying to leave lol.
This reminds me of the wax museum in Niagara Falls. When I was a kid I went and I was particularly looking forward to the last part which was like a house of horrors with movie monsters like Freddy Krueger and Jason and probably Dracula and Frankenstein. When I went in I was so terrified I had my eyes closed 90% of the way through while my mom held my arm and led me out. I should go back there.
The campgrounds we used to go to had a haunted house every year. It was always just volunteers setting up a maze in an outbuilding. Perfectly kid friendly.
One year they decide to hire professionals and do a hayride. Chainsaws and all. We were NOT prepared. My 6 year old flipped the fuck out, but the only thing he could think of doing is shielding his 3 year old cousin. When it was done all he could do is cry and keep asking if she was okay.
I always laughed cause kids are dumb in a lot of ways. Fast learners sure, but GOD can they be stupid. I didn't realise people were using it to hate on kids until others mentioned it tho, I thought it was a in jest thing
People act like calling kids stupid in this sub is like a capital offense. Kids can be fucking dumb, and it's okay to say so, especially if it's not to their face
I remember being young and went to the London Dungeons, I managed to hold it together but it's weird how even though you know you're in no danger, you cannot seem to shake it out of yourself, especially when young
I(45M) took my boyfriend (33M) to his first haunted house this year. He was excited to do it he said. I asked him while we were waiting in line if he was scared or nervous and he said no.. like this is clearly very silly and won't be scary at all. Anyway, we eventually get in and he is just out of his mind terrified. I had to kind of help rush him through a few spots and he opted for the stair exit at the end instead of the slide. It was great. I love him so much.
I went in one as a kid and one of the first things that happened was we got hit by a puff of air in the face. I have no idea why (it was an intended part of the experience, they had a machine set up to do it) but I immediately got overstimulated and had to go.
I wasn't normally scared of them but that stupid little puff of air broke me!
Yeah I would have been in the same boat at that age.
One of my favorite memories is going to a haunted corn maze as an adult with my friend who was absolutely legitimately terrified of clowns. Like an actual phobia. So of course we run into a clown towards the exit, he takes off running and screaming back the way we came, cue a shit eating grin from the clown, who gets on the radio and calls every other clown in the maze to come chase him.
Let's see how long it takes the reddit child psychology "experts" to find this post and claim his parents irreparably damaged him for taking him to a haunted house at that age.
I took my boys to a haunted house last year for the first time. About halfway through, my youngest (13) PUNCHED A GUY IN THE FUCKING FACE then ran away yelling, “I’m sorry I hit you, I was scared!!!”
So now we know what his fight or flight response is.
Be careful bringing your kids to haunted houses. I have a very vivid terrifying memory of a haunted house when I was about 6 where I was so scared that I bit my mom in the stomach trying to hide from the actors. I remember almost peeing myself and sobbing uncontrollably. One of the zombies in a grave tried to grab my leg and I was so terrified I kicked them. It was legitimately traumatic.
I worked at one of the haunted houses put on by the large city that I live in. I saw a kid about his age being “brave” and coming down the long hall to the “surgery waiting room.” My zombie cheerleader design was designed so that I could rip off the mask to reveal a mangled face (latex scar makeup). I leaned over and in my “possessed voice” asked, “DO YOU WANT SOME CANDY LITTLE BOY?!?” ……… To this DAY, I felt HORRIBLE about how BADLY I scared that kid!! I had been told we give the people their money’s worth and really go for a good scare. But I will NEVER get over how badly I scared that poor kid!!! 🤦🏻♀️
When I was little my parents took me to a wax museum in Lake George NY. The House of Frankenstein. I was brave going in but got real scared while inside and my dad had to take me out the emergency exit door. Yeah I have some trauma from it lol.

This is also me after a haunted house, so no judgement here.
Its the over confidence at first that gets me. Like a man getting a wax, or eye brows tweezed for the first time. Nobody touches my eyebrows anymore
Yup, we all learn that lesson eventually.
Same. Haunted houses hit different as an adult when you actually understand what's happening. Kid me was fearless, adult me knows too much.
I’m confused, does it not lose the spooky as you’ve gotten older? Or does it get more spooky cause the real monsters look just like us?
Yes.
I don't do scary

Yes so true! I complimented one of the actors on her outfit and said it was cute LOL
Some of the ones ive been to are pitch black or so much strobe light you cant see shit.
But no, there are plenty of ppl that dont get scared.
The only time i get a bit nervous is when i think, this would be a good place for a real murderer to kill someone and then just runaway.
“I’ve seen things” 🥹😢🥺😳

proper childhood scare. Might be fun to see it again as an adult

Fuck you campgrounds, but also I was a proud dad.
Oh shit. If that was my kid’s reaction I’d tell them they could eat ice cream until they puked
Omg, what a sweet boy you have 🥹
Remember this is a satire sub. Im not actually calling him stupid.
Its ok. No one will judge you if you really did.
Stupid is too harsh for this. I'll go as far as foolish.
I like sending out good vibes
I honestly view this sub personally as more “haha kids being kids,” it’s just a way harsh subreddit name
I always laughed cause kids are dumb in a lot of ways. Fast learners sure, but GOD can they be stupid. I didn't realise people were using it to hate on kids until others mentioned it tho, I thought it was a in jest thing

I miss those days.

It was great. I love him so much.
I remember when I was 8 I went to a haunted house and a zombie popped their head out from behind a curtain and I reflexively gave them an uppercut.
I went in one as a kid and one of the first things that happened was we got hit by a puff of air in the face. I have no idea why (it was an intended part of the experience, they had a machine set up to do it) but I immediately got overstimulated and had to go.

Forgot about the chainsaw-wielding maniac, did we?
This guy look like the buhlud kid

Oh, this guy! I remember this guy. Poor guy.
That kid is a terrible actor. He should work for a haunted house.
Yeah I would have been in the same boat at that age.

Yeah I don't blame the kid

Ah, reminds me of working in a haunted house.
Family makes a haunted house for about a month and a half before Halloween. Kids always think they are tough crap haha
Sometimes a good humbling is a necessary step for growth.
😂😂😂
I love that the videos of me as a child are mine and my families only
Dude, that "after" face is pure terror gold—haunted house wins!
I worked at one of the haunted houses put on by the large city that I live in.

So adorable
Took it way better than I would.
When I was probably 4 years older than him, I got jumpscared, then I immediately initiated the fetal position until they let me out
Took my son 4 to a haunted house and afterwards he screamed “why did we leave??” And wanted to know why they wouldn’t say hi to him lol
Idk why he’s scared afterwards. You’re out and safe now
/r/kidsarejustkids
Yeah and people should stop posting theirs on the internet.
i'm glad Haunted house still humbles stupid ignorant kids like these. im happy for the next generation
You didn't have to be so mean about it, but I agree.
Let's see what he looks like after going through McKamey Manor.
Let’s mentally scar a child!!!!
Hahahaha
