Here is one more reason for you to go to Oberon Mall, Cochin. You can now see people scared and screaming, not just in front of the escalator, but also coming out of the brand new Scary House that opened here last week. Those who have visited the scary house in garuda mall, Bangalore already know what to expect. As we made our way to the third floor we were astounded by the sight of a really long queue to get into the scary house. We decided that this was not the best time to wait to enter we headed over to the food court to grab a quick bite. In an hour we went down to find that the queue had totally disappeared. We even doubted if one of those ghosts escaped from the scary house. We quickly went and got ourselves the overpriced entry passes. For Rs. 50 per head for a 3 minute walk in the dark, it felt like a total rip off. Soon we find ourselves next to the door, ready to enter. Just outside the door you find a kid wearing a creepy coat and hat. He is obviously the bouncer of this land of ghosts. We casually asked him if it was REALLY scary and he just gave us a crippled smile. Probably because he was not happy with his attire!

Consider yourself lucky if you manage to see anything scary. The place is so dark that you will find yourself bumping on to the walls. We felt someone touching us in the dark. We would like to believe that it is the midgets trying to scare us. We did not see any of those “cutting edge” robotics and animatronics. All we felt we did was walk down a pitch dark path. At the end of the 3 minutes just before to exit there would be a little something, that we would not like to reveal here. That is the closest you would get to getting scared. Those who have been in the garuda mall scary house will find this one a replica.They say that you see only 60% of the treats the first time you go. So to have a full experiance you are required to go twice. With them charging Rs 50 for a 3 minute walk in the dark, there is no way you will find us going there again. Remember, children below 8, pregnant women and those with a weak heart are not allowed inside.

How To Actually Have Fun At The Scary House

So the scary house experiance was not all that great. Here are 2 things that Kochivibe found was fun to do inside. Be carefull. You might be escorted outside by the staff.

• Even if you know the way keep shouting “Which Way?? Which Way??”. They will keep telling you the right directions. Even if you heard them still shout out “Which Way?? Which Way??” and take the wrong turn. Trust us, you will have stomach cramps laughing.
• At a turn hide for the people behind to come silently. Once they reach the turn jump and scream and scare the living daylights out of them. Afterall, they paid to get scared and they deserve it.!

Try not to get escorted outside by the staff.
