Your heart pounds, and yet you paid money to feel this way! That strange bargain, trading a few dollars for a jolt of fear, is the whole idea behind a haunted house attraction. People have been chasing that shivery thrill for far longer than any theme park has existed, and the story of how it grew is stranger than any ghost tale.  \nLong before anyone built a fake haunted mansion, the shivers came from words alone. In the 1800s, spooky stories became wildly popular, and families would gather by  \ncandlelight to read tales of ghosts and gloomy castles aloud. Some Victorians even held \"séances,\"gatherings where people claimed they could contact the dead, though many of those events turned out to be clever tricks with hidden wires and tapping feet. The public loved being scared safely, from a comfortable chair, and that hunger for a controlled fright is exactly what later builders would sell.  \nThat hunger for a safe scare eventually moved out of the reading room and into people's living rooms. During the 1930s, when the Great Depression left families short on money, parents looked for cheap ways to entertain restless kids on Halloween night. A popular idea was the \"trail of terror\" set up inside a home, where children were led blindfolded through dark rooms and told they were touching gruesome things. Peeled grapes became \"eyeballs\" and cold cooked spaghetti became \"guts,\" all made from whatever was in the kitchen. These homemade parties helped keep kids from causing mischief in the streets, and they planted the seed of the walk-through scare.  \nThose living-room trails soon grew far bigger than any single family could manage. By the middle of the 1900s, clubs, churches, and schools began building haunted houses as fundraisers, charging admission and using the money for good causes. Groups like the Junior Chamber, often called the Jaycees, became famous for running these community frights, turning empty buildings into mazes of scares. Volunteers painted sets, sewed costumes, and jumped out from behind corners, and the ticket money paid for scholarships, equipment, and charity.  \nWhat started as a fundraiser in a borrowed building caught the eye of people with far deeper pockets. In 1969, Disneyland opened the Haunted Mansion in California, a ride that had been planned for years and used illusions instead of actors leaping out at you. One famous trick makes ghostly figures appear to dance in a ballroom using a nineteenth-century stage illusion sometimes called \"Pepper's ghost,\" which relies on angled glass and clever lighting. Suddenly a haunted house could be a polished, big-budget attraction that ran the same way thousands of times, and rival parks raced to build their own.  \nBehind every one of those scares, from a Depression-era hallway to a theme-park ride, sits the same toolbox. Designers control what you see, hear, and feel, using dim red light, sudden loud sounds, narrow twisting paths, and the timing of a surprise to keep your nerves on edge. The real secret is that surprise  \nworks best when your brain expects one thing and gets another, so builders spend more time on suspense than on the scare itself. Today Americans spend hundreds of millions of dollars on haunted attractions each year, according to industry groups, which means all that fear has become one of autumn's biggest businesses. Not bad for a thrill that began with nothing more than a candle and a good story!  \nThe History of Haunted Houses  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is the central bargain that the article says a haunted house attraction offers?\u003Cbr>A.
