A documentary about seasonal haunted houses, The Houses October Built. Looks like fun. And the only way you'd get me near some of them.
Ooooh. I need to see that.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And it mentions Blackout NYC! That's the one where they make you sign a waiver, you have to go through alone, and there is no way on earth I would ever go through it. The Jaded Viewer posted a walkthrough/spolier for the 2011 one. I'm amazed they haven't gotten sued yet.
ETA: the write-up of the place is not for the faint of heart, easily triggered, or anyone who doesn't want to read about essentially being thrust into a "tortureporn" movie.

Because books.
I love how the interviewer's eyes widen when he starts talking about being bound and all alone. "Is that legal?!"
No way on earth I would ever do that. The write-up was disturbing enough.

Heh, yeah. And after reading the write-up (and the one of the previous year's scare attraction), there is NO WAY what they do can be legal.

Didn't they require major liability waivers? I don't remember from the write-up.
Not that I would ever sign one. So fucked up. I love horror, but I like it at a remove -- I can't even get through most normal haunted houses if people jump out at me. And there should never EVER be any touching. ::shudders::

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Re: Katniss' dress... I totally thought it was the OTHER dress that does the thing before they do the thing, but of course that's not in the first book/movie. I so need to reread!!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, wait, I thought it was that dress too! I can't remember what this dress does.

Waivers don't really cover much when you can't legally consent to assault (that bit of legality varies from country to country and state to state; and different jurisdictions choose to enforce it or let it slide as they see fit.)
(I don't run a haunted house, but my extracurricular interests mean I need to know about the legalities of this shit.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I can't remember what this dress does.
Look closely at the picture. I think the caption helps too.
I just read the books, so it's all fresh in my mind. During the second book, I was, like, "What? Delayed scones again?"
