Dream Reapers – a wicked scents of fear!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

An irrational aversion to scents can be powerfully overwhelming – it is basically impossible to avoid odors in day to day life. A person suffering from Olfactophobia – the fear of smells – can be confronted by their dread on a fairly regular basis. For the unfortunate olfactophobiac, even the most routine daily activities can push them to the brink of sanity. Coincidentally, one has to wonder how much influence one phobia has on another. For instance, would an olfactophobiac also suffer from Swinophobia – the fear of pigs? Swine\u00a0 <\/span>are not known for their pleasant aroma, after all, and the prospect of exposure to pigs (or pig-like creatures) would certainly cause someone suffering from a fear of smells great distress. Curious…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There’s no denying that our sense of smell lends itself heavily to our imaginations, and nowhere is this more evident than at Melrose Park, Illinois’ Dream Reapers Haunted House. A 14,000 square foot attraction featuring more than twenty-two rooms, Dream Reapers mixes classic scare techniques and actor-based entertainment with state of the art animatronics and an additional element not typically used in the haunt industry: scents based on the theme of each room. Imagine a cemetery scene permeating with the odor of fresh dirt. Or a forest environment emanating the strong smells of pine trees and rotting wood. Enhancing the experience considerably, the addition of scents brings the visitor even deeper into the atmosphere of the scene and creates even more of the interactive illusion that makes a great haunt experience truly memorable. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dream Reapers has taken the concept of haunted house scents one step further, and offers scents for sale to those wishing to take their haunt to the next level. Haunted attractions are a form of entertainment that relies heavily on its visitors’ primary senses, and the introduction of aromas and odors to the sights and sounds of the typical haunted house\u00a0 <\/span>ensures an even more fulfilling experience. Pity the poor olfactophobiac who stumbles upon this nightmare of the nostrils…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
