Autumn comes swooping in like a mild breeze, a chill sending August nights to
the red and orange hues of the early fall sunset. Fall sits as a relief of sorts on the
calendar, pushing away the humidity of the dog days of summer and for a time,
fighting off the impending bitter cold of the frostiest winter nights.
Many yards are decorated with the more dark aspects of the Halloween season,
with ghosts and goblins and monsters and zombies highlighted by the purple and
orange lights on displays outside houses where swimming pools and barbeque grills
have been packed away.
For children, of course, it can be a bittersweet time; it means an end to those long
summer days for another school year’s grind. But the delicious aspects of autumn
bring many of us joy, including those very same kids. The coming of fall brings with
it so many moments of delight, from the year’s very first taste of pumpkin spice to
the sweatshirts and cozy sweaters donned to watch the kickoffs of football games
under the bright lights of crowded stands.
It ushers in the thoughts of the hayrides through the woods to the sprawling
pumpkin patch, where children choose their favorite pumpkins off of the vine to take
home and decorate. The pleasant, satisfied smiles as they hold their chosen gourds on
the ride back through the woods, no doubt deciding what face to embody the would
be jack o’lanterns with.
There is a reason why so many poets and writers have been preoccupied
with the sights, sounds and smells of fall since as far back as the written
word was recorded. The great Ray Bradbury described autumn like
no one else could, with delicate depictions of color and intoxicating
scents of fallen leaves and late September rainfalls.
It’s hard to ignore the stark imagery of autumn, beginning
with the changing of the colors from green to gold, orange,
yellow, red. The trees echo the season’s change, becoming the
bare focus of the backdrop of chilly purplish skies. The air is
crisp, and the promise of scary movies under warm blankets
with warm cider greets many of us like an old friend who has
waited all year for us.
Of course, there is October, that favored autumn month,
after the bright yellow harvest moon of September’s autumnal
equinox. The birds begin to migrate in swarms, and dusk
provides them with the perfect frame in the sky. October brings the
imagination to the front of happy kids and adults everywhere, because
we know what else is coming…Halloween.
It’s the time of year where the sun meets the nippy fall air and weaves the perfect
day to rake a yard full of leaves to jump and play in. There will be trips to the
orchard, with apples and donuts and the games of autumn. Scarecrows and harvest
décor pleasantly help to bring the feeling of fall to the lawns of many neighborhoods
all across America.
And of course, the other types of hayrides, the spooky trips through the
haunted nights of Halloween scream parks. The unique time of year
where the haunted attractions are sprouting up everywhere, daring
children and adults alike to walk through their creative and
creepy paths, be they indoor or outdoor. In that spirit,
Fear Finder is so proud to be a guide to get the would
be haunted to the scares and events of their choice for
many years now…remember, we can get you there, but
we can’t make you go in!
Of course, another great tradition are the
Halloween parties, where chosen costumes are worn.
It’s that time of year where you can be anything you
want to be without having to feel weird about it. That
freeing moment where you choose what you will wear
when you take your pillowcase or candy bag out into
the sacred night of All Hallow’s Eve.
Even television is engaged in the autumn season, airing
Halloween specials of all kinds on our favorite shows, some
so memorable that they become staples of future fall celebrations
for decades to come. Stores become more interesting, carrying the colorful
and monster filled displays of candy and Halloween masks and costumes.
There are so many wonderful things to look forward to every fall, it’s nearly
impossible to name them all or to pick a favorite. That’s why autumn, in all its
majestic color and feeling of something special waiting to happen, might be the best
season of all.
And what about YOU? When you think back on autumns past, what are some of
YOUR favorite traditions? Your favorite Halloween costumes, moments, and events
that shaped your richest fall memories?

FALL 2016 › FEAR FINDER NEWS 23
You’re locked in a room with several other people. Looking around,
you see items and furniture, some of which are basically “clues” as
to how to get out of the room. You have a certain amount of time
to solve this real life puzzle…search for hidden passageways,
band together with the other lost souls and figure it out (a
satisfying conclusion), or watch time run out and lose…
This is an example of a somewhat new phenomenon in live
attractions called Escape Rooms. Many of these puzzle games
have popped up around the U.S. over the past few years,
and their popularity has increased as more people in the
mainstream become aware of what they are.
Many escape rooms have a simple premise; all kinds of
settings are used to develop an atmosphere from which to
play the game, or, in more direct terms, solve the “puzzle”. For
that reason, they aren’t restricted to the Halloween season. In
fact, many escape rooms are located in permanent areas,
where people can go and enjoy them throughout the year.
Companies and organizations have also been quick to latch
onto the “team building” aspect of a good escape room. They
send a group together to further camaraderie and assist them
in building their teamwork and leadership abilities; many of
these rooms are not likely to be solved without a number of
people working together toward the same goal. It can be a
very effective tool.
The first escape rooms probably originated about 10 years
ago, and fixed locations were introduced in Asia around the
early 2010s. The soaring popularity has led to a worldwide
embracing of these live action games, as people from all
across the globe flock to them in lucrative numbers.
The Halloween season has introduced some interesting
evolutions to these rooms, of course. It goes without
saying that industry haunters would find such games
to be intriguing and utilize them in more macabre
ways.
Scott Graubner of Michigan is an inhabitant
of one such haunting escape room, utilizing
a take in which a zombie (Scott, in highly
effective makeup) is hanging on the wall in
the middle of the room. The conceit here
24 FEAR FINDER NEWS › FALL 2016
is that the people who are playing the puzzle game in the room
have to figure how to get out before the zombie effectively makes
his way off the wall to “get” them. It’s a frightening concept in
theory, and adds to the exuberance of the whole game. Now
the escapees are keeping one eye out for the zombie as
they simultaneously try to solve the mystery of the escape.
Laughter and good times abound.
As of this writing, Scott reports (rather ominously) that no one
has figured their way out yet.
Some escape rooms feature several different types of rooms
in one location. The Great Escape Room, for instance, has
libraries, billiard rooms, infirmaries and more. With locations in
eight states including Michigan and Illinois, the Great Escape is
described as a puzzle mixed with a scavenger hunt. Groups of
up to 12 people try to team up and figure their way out…or, at
the very least, get a really cool group photo and one heck of a
memorable experience.
There are already so many different types of escape rooms that
it’s difficult to try to figure out what’s coming next for these
live action puzzlers. Of course, the best of these are extremely
difficult, which in some ways is the point. No one would want to
waste time on an escape room that is super easy to figure out
and has no real situation or mood development to speak of.
The people who create these rooms generally do so with the
notion that they need to make it hard enough on a team of folks
to escape that they HAVE to revert to teamwork in order to find
their way. Those are the ones that people will feel the most
sense of accomplishment in escaping, as well.
Like most themed attractions that hit the popular culture,
the escape room is likely going to continue to evolve and
grow into even bigger and better locales. People are
always going to look for new and different ways to try
to execute the most unusual puzzle rooms possible;
that is a given.
Who knows what escape rooms will look like
given another decade of popular evolution?
