I love haunted houses and hayrides, and I'm 20, so I'm not sure if that's qualifying me for the "adults" mentioned in your post yet, but I probably won't ever stop loving them and going to them when it's possible. Halloween is my favorite month. (Yes, that's intentional) Even if it's a corny cheesy hayride and I don't even get startled one time, it's cool to see someone putting in the effort to entertain someone else. Especially since most of the time it's in your own community. They're like little skits that anyone can put on, and it's cool to see people make an effort like that. As for haunted houses, I get startled very easily so they are a bit of a scare for me, but again that's not why I go to them. I like the thrill, yes, but I also love to see what different props they're using. A horrible cheesy haunted house with foam mummies and glow-in-the-dark blood everywhere is funny, and if you do see a prop (or if you're lucky, a whole haunted house) that's realistic, it's cool to see how much effort went into making it that way.

When I was younger my family owned a costume shop, so halloween was (and still is) a big thing for us. That's when the magazines for ordering new costumes get super thick, and they usually included haunted house props. For really realistic ones, you can spend thousands of dollars, easily.

If I'm ever rich someday I'm going to make a haunted house, it's always been my "if someone gave you a million dollars" answer. I just think they're cool.
