There are several haunted houses known for allowing physical contact where actors can touch visitors to enhance the scare experience. Notable examples include:
- Brighton Asylum offers "Contact Nights" where visitors who wear a special glow necklace agree to be physically touched by actors for an intensified experience. Physical contact can include being grabbed, picked up, or touched in various ways safely controlled by the actors. This is optional, and visitors not wearing the necklace will not be touched.
- Nightmare on Edgewood is described as a full-contact haunted house with actors trained to touch visitors appropriately. Guests are instructed not to touch actors, but the actors may perform physical contact to startle and scare.
- Creepy Hollow Haunted House is explicitly a full-contact haunt where actors will intentionally touch guests unless they pay extra for a no-touch pass. They warn visitors of intense physical interaction in a demanding environment.
- McKamey Manor is an extreme in-your-face haunted house experience where visitors sign extensive waivers for physical, psychological, and sometimes controversial contact. It is known for its intense and extended encounters, including physical touch, though it has faced criticism and legal issues.
These haunted houses provide the kind of experience where actors can touch you, often under clear safety rules and consent processes to ensure the experience is controlled and immersive for thrill-seekers.
If seeking a haunted house specifically where physical touch is part of the scare, Brighton Asylum's "Contact Nights" or Creepy Hollow Haunted House are prominent examples to consider. Let me know if a recommendation for location or more details about any specific haunted house is needed.
