Deliciously scary

Want to live your nightmare? Then New York is the place to go to. Each of the city's five boroughs is to have interactive haunted houses, courtesy Broadway producer Tim Haskell. "Nightmare: Face your Fear" dares visitors to endure terrifying experiences. Thousands of the city's denizens answered a poll on what terrified them. Poll results, said Haskell, showed that the most common scares were drowning, sinister clowns, rats and creepy-crawlies, heights and being closed in. The haunted house has room-by-room encounters and actors to stalk and scare visitors. Haskell told Reuters, "People like to get scared." Here's a man whose aim is to terrify, not amuse.
