Williams got involved five years ago when her son, Kevin, who manages the Warehouse of Fear, needed an elderly person to fill a specific role. Feeling up to it, she gave it a try, and enjoyed it so much that she hasn't missed a day in five years. "Some just run through the room, and then some of them get so scared they back out," Mary Lou said to ABC News, while laughing. "I think sometimes they're kind of goofy. Some of them will say, 'Oh, there's grandma!' I enjoy it and I enjoy the people I work with."
Although Mary Lou would probably do the job for free, she does use her paycheck to buy Christmas gifts for her five sons and 10 grandsons. After all, once Halloween season is over, she goes back to being sweet Grandma Mary Lou.
If you're in the area, check out this year's "phobia" theme at the warehouse. Mary Lou will be playing a patient in a nursing home, who is beating her nurse for making her eat too many vegetables. We can relate Mary Lou, we'd rather be eating Halloween candy, too.
