I too got started with the Jaycees. It was back in 1990, when my parents joined the Jaycees and I was only 8 and we learned about the haunted house. In the years before that, I had always asked my mom what those trailers with scary things painted on them were and she never would tell me. Then a year or so later, I was actually inside it, helping paint and learning how to scare.
The first year I worked outside, next to the exit, because I was too scared to work inside, but as the years progressed, I got more and more brave. I started working in the front of the first trailer, then further inside and further inside until I was completely comfortable working inside. Through the years, I've learned what works and what doesn't and this whole "haunting" thing has taken a stronghold on me. I've worked at 5 different Jaycee haunted houses, 1 for-profit haunyed house in MI and since I moved, this year is my 3rd season at this haunted house I'm at now. My parents have lost their passion for running and working haunts, but my passion for working them has kept going. :twisted:
