Haunted Lagoons and Screaming Like a Man

Posted on 25. Sep, 2010 by Dan Zelikman in Live Life

Everyone has heard it and most have said it at least once, “you scream like a girl!” Which got me thinking – can you even scream like a man? What is it, more baritone like? Instead of “ahhhhh” you’re doing more of an “arhhhh!” I don’t know, but the conversation lingered between myself and a few young-ins as we began our voyage into the Polynesian Cultural Center’s new haunted experience, The Haunted Lagoon. At this point, pants still dry.
But after seeing images like the one above, pants dry – not so much. The setting couldn’t have been much more perfect, the moon was so full it could have passed for a show prop. The sky was clear and full of stars. The rest was taken care of by the crazy looking characters and monsters from the the Haunted Lagoon. They had a little of everything and everything looked frightening. From killer clowns to a different play on Batman (below), there seemed to be hundreds of different creatures to make your skin crawl. Throw in some lighting, fog and some creepy audio, and you have one freaky show!
Folks screamed, giggled and some like Neenz & Noe actually jumped up in the air and somehow levitated  for a while. All in all, it was a great way to kick off the Halloween experience! Big mahalo to the Polynesian Cultural Center for inviting me to their opening night and to Aimee for coordinating everything and making sure we got in (and out) all safe and sound. If you’re into some good old fashion scares on Halloween, I highly recommend you check it out!
