Running away from your worst nightmare.
I visited Woods of Terror in Greensboro this weekend, where making you scream is their specialty.
"When you pop out and the first person falls back and then they all fall back,I play dominoes with them," said Ember, one of the actresses and head of makeup at Woods of Terror.
I thought I was brave enough handle the haunt but I couldn't make it through without getting spooked.
Director of Public Relations and Marketing at Woods of Terror, Deborah Bryant says the attraction feels so real...and that's what makes it one Readers Digest's top ten scares in the country.
"We did everything except kill somebody out here. That's what you're going to experience when you come out here," she said.

Woods of Terror actors and makeup artists go through months of training before they become a part of the show.
Owner of Woods of Terror Eddie McLaurin says making the haunted house realistic is the key to putting on a good show.
"We take it very seriously the actor part. No matter how good the haunt looks, if I don't have good actors, it's not going to be good," he said.
But the actors aren't the only ones who get to scare. I got my makeup done to look like the creatures you'd find in the woods. But I think I'll leave the scaring to them.
Woods of Terror is open Thursday through Sunday every week for the remainder of this month.
