I’m usually hesitant to go into a haunted house. Despite the fact that I’m a lover of scary movies and stories, there’s something about be-ing inside of the action that makes me uncomfortable. However, Hollywood Candy’s new haunted house, Carnival of Terror, made me rethink that.

Due to the fact I’m epi-leptic, strobe lights make me nervous. Luckily for me, I was able to talk to an actor before HQWHULQJ��RQO\�WR�À�QG�RXW�WKDW�he was also a nurse when he wasn’t being a creepy clown. He let me know where the strobe lights would be and then decided he’d help walk us through in case anything happened.

I was grateful for the con-siderate staff that helped me before I went in, but even better was the staff in the house. The clowns, bloody ax murderers and ghost girls all stayed in character and made sure I was scared, and it was fantastic.

The clown-themed haunt-ed house was a maze, the constant twists, turns and tight hallways made me jump even more when someone or something jumped out.

The best part of the haunted house was by far the clown section. There were at least three crazy make-up covered, wig wearing maniacs running around and scaring SHRSOH�� DQG� ,�ZDV� WHUULÀ�HG��The chaotic screams coming from clowns and customers made the experience even better.

Oddly enough, I was so scared in the new haunted house, but I was also enjoying myself. The amazing staff and actors helped me remain calm about the strobe lights while also freaking me out.

If you’re looking for a good scare from an amazing staff, Hollywood Candy’s basement venue won’t disap-point.

Carnival of Terror is open from dusk until midnight on Halloween at 1209 Jackson St, Omaha, NE 68102.

A hot new app called “Ge-ometry Dash” has many Bel-levue West students addicted.

In the game the goal is to dodge obstacles and make it to the end of the level using only one life, or start all over.

I like to look at this game as a more complex Flappy Bird. Both of the games were addicting in a frustrating way.

Since there’s only one shot, consistently playing is a nor-mal thing to try to beat the level. Yet, unlike Flappy Bird, there’s an end point to strive for rather than just trying to beat a high score. There’s also a practice mode which allows the use of checkpoints to excel and learn how to beat each level.

Not only is it addicting but it’s eye-catching; the colors

are bright, happy and change as the game continues. The app uses shades of red, blue, purple, and green. They pop out and make the game have a better appearance.The game also has add ons to certain levels, such as jump boosters and ‘polargeists.’

Polargeists are swirling cir-cles in the game that involve jumping off of them, they’re a knock off of poltergeists, but

LV� FKDQJHG� WR�À�W� WKH� JDPH·V�theme. There’s also a section in every level when there’s use of a hoverboard, just tap the screen repeatedly to make it through the obstacles.

This game is unseemingly addicting and enjoyable. I recommend it to anyone with IUHH�WLPH�EHFDXVH�LW·V�GHÀ�QLWHO\�a time consumer.

Geometry Dash’s main menu provides options before you play the game, including the ability to share scores on facebook and twitter, looking at high

scores and more games from the maker.

“Ouija” came out in the-atres on Oct 24, just in time to send chills down spines right before Halloween.

$�JURXS� GHFLGHV� WR� À�QG�out why their friend died by attempting to communi-cate with her through a ouija board. Throughout this ex-perience they are haunted by spirits and tormented by their friends’ deaths, realizing that the ouija is not just a game.

This movie had many ele-ments to get viewers to jump. Although the movie was scary,

most scenes were predict-able. Ouija followed the basic horror movie pattern- show something to make the view-ers jump, go to a mellow scene and then someone dies.

Almost every basic scary À�OP�IROORZV�WKLV�SDWWHUQ�DQG�EHFDXVH�RI �WKDW��LW·V�GLIÀ�FXOW�WR�determine whether the movie is actually worth-while or not. The plot was worthy of the word “scary,” but directors and writers shouldn’t be afraid to step out of the box a little and create their own version of scary, maybe even put some focus on the story.

Not only was it predict-able, but the ending made it seem like there was going to be a sequel. The movie’s mak-ers should’ve focused on the À�UVW�PRYLH�UDWKHU�WKDQ�DOUHDG\�preparing for the second.

Overall, “Ouija” was a scary movie. There were plen-ty of terrifying moments, but those moments didn’t last very long. The plot could have been better, especially with the interesting story line. If you want your average scary movie, “Ouija” is the new movie for you. Don’t expect a good story, though.
