Chittyville haunted house, The Rocky Horror Show

Dear Sumant,

Today I had two new experiences. The one was going to Chittyville Haunted house in Herrin, Illinois. I been hearing those radio commercial for past one month on the radio. So Alicia, I and Gabe decided to check it out. Well though I don't enjoy horror movies. Haunted house was fun. We reached there around 19 hrs but there was a long line and we entered around 19:44. It took I guess about 7-8 minutes to finish it. As you might expect there were lots of props and neatly dressed people insided it to scare the hell out of you. I wasn't scared or pretended that I wasn't. Believe me it was fun. There were lots of rooms and a really long dark alley plus the air wall. A room with too bright lights and screaming people with props appearing from nowhere. I would rate it as good though I don't have a bench mark against which I am rating. Go with your friends you will enjoy it.

The other thing I did was to go to Rocky Horror Show. I think its almost every year they screen at student center. I was there with Alicia, Christian, Tory and Amber. Amber had been here many times and she knew what all things to do during the show. It was $3 for ticket and $3 for the prop bag which contains birthday cap, rice, frills, toilet paper, Newspaper and a birthday whistle. I quick read on wikipedia after the show told me that it was a not so popular movie when it came out, but has become a sort of cult movie now. The show begins with anybody who hasn't been to show before as marked 'V' for being virgin on their forehead by the host. I was marked too and before the show begins they are made to eat brownie placed on the crotch of the opposite sex to break their virginity all in good fun. The audience participation is encouraged. The costume of the film is readily recognized and so lots of audience came dressed as their favorite character in the movie. I would suggest one should watch the movie first as it is hard to understand the voices as there as people are cat calls and pun belted out by audience in good humor. If you haven't been there you must go its a different experience with all that audience participation.

That's for now
Best regards

I love Rocky and I'm normal too.

I agree with watching the film first for the word but realize that it's not the movie but the audience. Watching the video you'll think it's dumb. It's like the difference between sex and masturbation.
