Are the actresses in a spook alley supposed to be MORE frightened than the paying public?

Sam was visiting a large spook alley at Halloween. He had been startled a few times but over all it hadn’t been bad. Then he came to a part that was pit black. The darkness was at least disconcerting. He reached for the smooth concrete wall to guide him along. The wall change from smooth and cold, to rigid and warmer. Then finally to soft and squishy for just a moment when a strobe of light flashed long enough for him to see that he was no longer holding the wall, but a female actress from the ally. So even though his team was now out of the MLB Playoffs, HE still got to second base.
