Speaker 1: some stuff, there's some jump scares and stuff like that,

128
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: but it's not super scary. I'm getting so brave. I

129
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: didn't two at Dark Harbor too.

130
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 4: That one actually looked really scary.

131
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: Okay, so there's one more that I'm looking at you guys,

132
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: and I want to tell you about it because I

133
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: don't know that I could do it. There are some

134
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: people from seventeenth Floor. I don't know if you've heard

135
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: of this one. I believe it's in downtown LA. And

136
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: they were listening and they said, hey, we heard so

137
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: you went to Dark Harbor. You want to come to

138
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: seventeenth floor. And I'm like, oh my gosh, that sounds great.

139
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm so tough now and I can do these haunted houses.

140
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 4: Well.

141
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: Then I reached out to Nick Poliochini, who is mister Halloween.

142
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and he said, oh, no, that's not for you, Amy. Oh.

143
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: And then I was just talking to producer and and

144
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: she was telling me some of the stuff that they do,

145
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: and I know people love to be scared, and good

146
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: on you. I don't think I can do this. I

147
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: need to talk to them a little bit more. But

148
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: it sounds terrifying, like really terrifying. So anyway, seventeenth floor,

00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: I said, I'm going to see if we can set

152
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: up an interview with them.

153
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,520
