Spooky season is already well under way at Universal Studios in Florida, with Halloween Horror Nights taking place this month through October 31. One writer, a self-described scaredy-cat, attended the event recently and offers tips for those gearing up for haunted house adventures this fall.

There comes a time in all of our lives when we must decide the kind of person we're going to be -- a courageous horror movie fan, or the scaredy-cat who refuses to watch them.

What was a chicken like me doing at an event designed for horror fans with iron stomachs? I wanted to conquer my fears, for one, but I also wanted to share whatever tips I picked up from my nightmarish journey with my fellow scaredy-cats. This year, the chainsaw gang at Halloween Horror Nights dressed like scarecrows who would come to life and picked up whatever tools they could find in their farmer's barn to wreak havoc. They will lunge at you or run up behind you to spook you with their saws, and I nearly ran into a concession booth trying to evade them at one point. Luckily, I was sporting well-worn sneakers; I wouldn't run a marathon in them, but they got me out of there quickly.

The mummies in the "Universal Monsters: Legend Collide" house woke up from their sarcophagi just in time for us mortals to meet them. How courteous!Regard dark corners with caution and approach every wall or curtain with the assumption that there's a terrifying monster just behind it. Evil lurks everywhere, but those are its favorite spots in a haunted house.
