I avoid these with a 10-foot pole too! But many years ago, I lived in LA and had friends who owned a party company. My boyfriend and I would occasionally help out at parties to make some extra money. Once at an extremely elaborate 7th birthday party, there was a haunted house -- and I was tasked with being a witch.
I wasn't thrilled, but after a while, I felt quite free in the makeup and wig and got into it. A lady came walking through the haunted hallway I was in with a couple of friends and a teeny tiny dog. So I creatively cackled, "I'm going to eat your dog!!"
Then I looked up and saw that the dog's owner was Demi Moore. And I wanted someone to throw water on me so I could melt into the ground.
