How El Paso’s Fields Have Eyes Made Me Tense, Nervous & Paranoid

I've always had a fascination for haunted attractions. So this week I made it a point to go out to one of our Haunted Houses this year. Monika had a terrifying experience at the Haunted Theatre, so I decided to go The Fields Have Eyes & boy... they weren't kiddin'...

I went on Thursday night & since my mom HATES haunted houses, I decided to ask her boyfriend, a retired military veteran of over 20 years, who LOVES haunted houses.

We got there at around 8pm & there was already a bunch of people in front of us (about 30 in front & then another 20 who came AFTER us). Unlike the Theater, The Fields Have Eyes is outside & that means it was DARK...

The darkness REALLY gives it that extra element of terror. You could hear the people already inside screaming. In fact, while waiting in line, we saw 3 girls run out screaming "I can't! I can't do it!". So you know that's a good sign.

Before we got in, clowns ran out into the crowd to "hype them up" & prepare them for what's inside: one was banging on the trash cans & another ran out with a chainsaw. It worked SO WELL, another girl in front of us got scared so badly, she opted out & ran back to the window you get your tickets.

Finally... we went in...

Right from the start you were greeted with some very friendly clown masks running up & screaming in your face.  Some carrying pipes & hatchets, banging against the fences. And because you're in a tight spot, you feel confined. You feel WATCHED. I found myself looking over my shoulder to make sure no one was following me...

You were being led everywhere through the maze, gazing upon the.. aftermath from the killer clowns.

At times I managed to be in front of the group, forcing me to summon up the courage to be brave. I will admit... I jumped many times... Not knowing what lurked around the corners...

Near the end we caught glimpses of Michael Myers ahead of us in the maze & we ended up going INSIDE Michael's house. There we fell victim to Michael & his chainsaw wielding friend.

It was a very unnerving, yet exhilarating experience. I was constantly on my toes & feeling on edge the whole time. Maybe you're brave enough to take on Michael too...
