UnCommon Law

Can a Haunted House Go Too Far? 'Carrie' Scare Leads to Lawsuit

Listen Later

When Scott Griffin visited the Haunted Trail, he expected to be scared. But he did not expect what happened after he thought the scare was over.

This special Halloween episode of UnCommon Law tells the true story of a man terrorized by a haunted house attraction. Griffin bought a ticket to a haunted house — but ended up getting more than he bargained for: two broken wrists. He sued for negligence and assault. Can someone who paid to be frightened sue when things go too far? 

Guests:

  • P. Christopher Ardalan, attorney at Ardalan & Associates, PLC
  • Larry Levine, law professor at the University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law
