With Halloween right around the corner, we are noticing haunted houses all across Colorado opening up and doing their best to scare kids of all ages. Do you remember back in the day when you and your friends would "FREAK OUT?" My friends and I would scream every time an "actor" would touch any of us, or we would scatter out the door once a person would jump out behind the wall.

After years of this self-inflicted pain, we became immune to the fear of those houses. Those houses that once frightened us all became a joke to all of us.

My friends and I would laugh at the severed heads, fake blood, and all the gruel. We thought, "how silly!" In today's world, it's not the severed heads that scare us these days. It's everyday life that will frighten the Bejesus out of us all.

I'm going to share the "adult fears" we all have and the type of haunted house we would like to see come to fruition.

Here is a list of some scary rooms that should be in the "Haunted House of Adult Fears:"

WRINKLES - All that laughter and smiling should make us more approachable, but when we see the crow's feet around the eyes, it's enough to frighten any adult
