Bronx Haunted Warehouse

I went to last year’s incarnation of this zombie haunt: Nightmare Z-​Day. I enjoyed myself more last year… A number of factors went into this. For example, last year I was completely alone while I walked through the haunt. This really added to the creep factor as there was no one else to bounce off of when I got scared. It was just me and my mind. Also, I felt like there was a better narrative last year. The haunt began very cool scene with a mad professor type, who intelligently told you about his experiment and then went into to a scene with a brother who had lost his brother. Then came the scares with zombies in every corner from there on after. At the very end, came a scene with a police officer who showed you how to shoot a rifle. As you aimed at the target, a zombie came and attacked him. You ran into the street, zombies literally chased after you, ON the sidewalk.
In short, this year’s haunt had more high-​tech thrills than last year did but it wasn’t as scary because it didn’t include the back story of last year’s haunt. I hope for next year, they keep the scares at a maximum while developing a strong narrative where you feel part of the story. This year’s first attempt at creating a narrative, the deranged science guy in the first room, didn’t do it for me because I couldn’t relate to him and I couldn’t understand what he was saying. The chick who told us to pray with her was pretty good, especially because I literally dropped to my knees and started to pray with her.
