Have you ever noticed the difference between a good commercial haunted house & one that is just okay. The good one will have activities happening outside, while you wait in line. This mentally "prepares" you to become scared. this is exactly what several "reality based" television shows replicate to prepare their contestants before taking them to the "haunted" location.
