In
Horseshoe Bay, until the end of October, there's a haunted mansion. Or should I say "Haunted Mansion", because yes, it's kind of a fan
homage to the Disney attraction.

I won't lie, this particular haunt doesn't have
any genuinely scary moments. But it is so long on charm and whimsy, I doubt you'll care.

Including unintentional ones--because all their prim skeletons are animated. The inherent problem with that is, if there's any lag on the sim, you don't just see jerky animation, but extra limbs!

Again, though, it's quirky enough--and happens often enough--that for me it just added to the whole thing. After a while, I found myself smiling every time a collection of bones waved four arms at me.

And they all seem so
happy about it, that again, what could be a detraction ends up being great fun.
This particular house is maze-like, too. Most of the doors are only one way, but you can just cam through the wall and tap the door on the other side if you
really need to return to another room.

And apparently, even death does not ease our chore burdens. Good to know.
It's a quick trip through a lovely house; I highly recommend it.
