elionwyr | Haunting Tales: Take it off, baby!!

So my standard dress at Grisly for my first year was a black lace dress. Generally speaking, it did exactly what I needed: it looked vaguely Victorian, and was generic enough to allow me to blend into wherever I needed to be in the haunt.

Outside of sometimes playing the part of a homicidal cackling clown, my job during hours of operation was to make sure my little cherubs were in their spots and doing their jobs, and to give people breaks or drinks as needed.

We were working in a stable, which was in general pretty cool, so the actors wore a few layers of clothing to keep warm. Halloween night that year was unseasonably warm. One guide passed out. Everyone was wicked uncomfortable. And I was worried about the person playing our mad scientist for the evening, because she had on a few too many layers.

I didn’t know the role well enough to jump in for Nicole, and we were too busy to stop the line long enough to give her time to go get undressed. So I shadowed a group going through the attraction and as soon as they had left the lab, I attacked Nicole and started tearing off her clothing.

“WHAT the…what are you DOING?”

“Quick!” I hissed. “We’ve GOT to get you cooled off! Take off anything you don’t need to be wearing!”

Oh, yes…grace and poise at all times.
