Don't be a scare actor in Taiwan:

FRIGHTENED visitors at a Taiwanese theme park have repeatedly attacked actors dressed in ghost costumes in a "haunted theatre" attraction.

 

The incidents have prompted Janfusun Amusement Park to grant leave of absence or transfer for actors working at Horrorwood, which features scenes from 10 classic horror movies, a company spokeswoman said.

 

A male employee in a zombie costume was slapped in the face by a man whose girlfriend had been scared out of her wits, she said.

 

The man later explained he wanted to find out whether the "ghost" was real or not.

 

A female visitor hit another male worker in the private parts with an umbrella, the spokeswoman said.

 

One female employee complained that male visitors often touched her hip, she added.

...LOL.

 

I feel sorry for the scare actors though.

I have not laughed this hard in a long time.

^I loved that one too and this one:

 

"A female visitor hit another male worker in the private parts with an umbrella"

 

I hope, for the scare actors sake, that Steven Seagal doesn't visit that maze.

 

There's a rumor that HOS at Tampa is going to have an upcharge maze called "Alone" where you have to sign a waiver to allow the scare actors to touch you, and if you make it through the maze alone you get some kind of prize. That would be carnage in Taiwan.

Good thing I'm not working in Taiwan in October!

 

Mind if I submit this to Fail Blog?

That was one of the funniest things I have read on this website, and that's saying a lot.

Some people are so stupid! They wanted to know if it was a "real" ghost or not? Give me a break! And I agree, those actors better get paid well enough to make enduring that much ridiculous stuff worthwhile

They must've been professionals ! I feel sorry for the actor with the 'umbrella' hit.
