Would you take a 9 year old boy

[Deleted]

To a haunted corn maze?  He tells me it's ok because it's not real.  He really wants to go.  It took us 90 min to get through the maze in daylight.  Plus, I get scared!

would you take him?

ETA:  I don't really know what the haunted part consists of but I did hear there are chainsaws!

90 minutes in a corn maze?! Ehh, I don't think a 9 year old is going to enjoy himself. Unless he's REALLY into Halloween.

I'd be less worried about him being scared than being bored.

He loved the corn maze and really wants to go back for the haunted version

My son would have been fine with that at 9.
Is he prone to nightmares or acting weird after scary movies? Does he watch scary movies?

I'd take some of his friends and let 'em at it.

Kids love that stuff. Sounds like he'd have a ball.

He doesn't really watch scary movies.  But he rarely has nightmares.  Maybe one in the last year where the cat turned evil and was trying to kill us.

I think I'm the only one who would say no, but that's mostly because I remember you posting something last Halloween or two years ago about him having some sort of issue on Halloween while with a babysitter, and you having to leave a party, and it ending up being really bad. BUT, there's also a big difference between 7 and 9, and you know your child better than anyone.

Wow you have a good memory.  Yea that was 2 years ago and he was mimicking something he saw on Halloween.

I have a great memory for everything other than remembering to do shit on my never ending to do list.

That mostly stood out to me because your son reminds me of mine in a lot of ways.

Depending on the details (which you don't have to share again), I might be changing my answer.

I figured, I wasn't expecting you to.  
Go with your gut.

So we drove 30 min, waiting in line to park 20 min. Then we get in line for tickets and he changed his mind. Thank God! I was so scared!! They had scary people dressed up outside the maze and scary loud music and strobe lights and it was too much for him. I didn't even think of that. He has sensory issues and sensitivity to sound (autism). He said it was too loud and he didn't like the lights. There were two guys scaring people while we waited to park. One dressed up like Michael Myers and one the scariest clown ever. Omg they scared me half to death and I was in the car!! I would have died in the maze.
