elionwyrDespite my unintentional Lorena Bobbitt impression, I was allowed to return to the role of Erzabet at least one more time that year.
Same scene, as I've described. Erzie's room is the first room of the show. I'm set to leap out of a coffin and wave a knife at my "victims." And, um, not stab anyone in the crotch.
I'm hiding in said coffin, sans glasses, as Janice (one of our very best guides) comes in with a group and goes into the spiel.
Erzabet the bride, yadda yadda yadda, cuts out their hearts, yadda, looking for the heart of the man who betrayed her.
Cue the strobe light.
"SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!!!!" yodels I.
"OH HOLY CRAP AAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!!" yelps the group.
*Ka-THONK* groans the coffin as it tries its dang best to kill me by falling over.
And the group? Runs back out of the house.
"BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHA! Are you..o..k....HAHAHHAHAHAHAH!"
"Holy poop, what just happened?"
"ERZABET YOU EVIL BRIDE!!! (you just scared them back outside) GET OUT OF HERE! (go hide somewhere)"
*d'oh*!
I scampered out of the room entirely as Janice went to gather up her group and bring them back into the room.
Lesson learned: People do many stoopid things of all sorts of varieties when they're scared.
Also?
Don't throw coffins at your haunted house visitors.

Each performance has a different person playing a "red shirt" who gets "killed" by one of Khan's people who sneaks up behind him or her. The person playing the red shirt is supposed to quietly "die." One guy in a performance last weekend looked back right before the person was about to attack and yelled "OH SHI......" in front of hundreds of people, many of them children. MANY PEOPLE CRACKED UP. Especially the actors behind the scenes waiting for their cue. Because as Bobby "Fatboy" Roberts put it, "He said what everybody was thinking!"
