I read that article. It is sad to see that much combative, rude, and anger-oriented behavior during something which is supposed to be fun, and mildly scary. Sure, I've been to some bad haunts, with lame makeup, bad lines, etc. But I've enjoyed them anyway. There is always someone in the line before you or after you who really liked it, and the time, effort and expense of putting them on for the community is never lost on me, regardless of the skill in execution. I respect them all. A minority opinion, unfortunately, if you read the types of behavior these folks typically get.
Now, I did have one really awful experience once, and I was a little mad about it. But I waited until the walkthrough was over and made a polite mention to the organizers on the way out. (A performer mis-timed his 'jump out' in the dark and gave me a really serious crack in the head. But he didn't apologize or break character, and went right to the next person. Which was fine). My complaint was solely about performers being more careful in the dark.
But reading some of this junk, the stuff that goes on with the customer behavior, is sad. Crappy world sometimes.
