#I am the scarediest of scaredy-cats but I can't resist environmental storytelling and practical effects

Clarifications below*

-Haunted Castle vs. Haunted Manor

Haunted Castle: medieval castle theme. Scares include vampires, werewolves, and torture dungeons

Haunted Manor: "run-down abandoned mansion" theme. Scares include ghosts, creepy Victorian people, and a vague sense of unease about a domestic setting turned sinister.

-Monster/beast-infested terrain: This includes swamps, icy mountains, dark forests,, underground tunnels, and other inhospitable settings where the main danger is from the local fauna. Scares include fictional monsters (yetis, Swamp Thing, mole-men) and real/exaggerated animals (spiders, alligators, sharks)

-Human sacrifice cult: includes both "small town with a sinister secret" cults and "eldritch horror" cults. Anything that involves human sacrifice to appease/worship a dark force

-Fairy Tales but Scary: children's stories and nursery rhymes twisted/interpreted in a gruesome way. The bears kill Goldilocks; Miss Muffet gets eaten by spiders; Rapunzel hangs herself by her hair. Something innocent has now been tainted by horror and violence.

-Local cryptid/legend/curse: Themed around a specific cryptid or folk tale. Chupacabras, Moth Man, Sleepy Hollow, Wendigos--the entire ride is focused on this one specific thing. "Mummy's curse" themes probably fit here.

-Licensed horror film: basically a recreation of an existing horror film, featuring scenes and dialogue from that film. If you pick this one, put in the tags which film you'd choose.
