At standard haunts, no: no-touch policies run both ways, so keep your hands off actors too, since shoving one is the fastest route to ejection. Touch only happens at attractions that advertise it and require a signed waiver or a glow marker that opts you in. If contact is a dealbreaker, confirm the policy on the ticket page before you buy.
Almost universally no: flash ruins scenes, screens leak light, and dropped phones die in fog-machine darkness, so most haunts ban recording inside and sell a marked photo op instead. Shoot freely in the midway, queue, and facade areas, which are designed for it. Zip your phone into a secure pocket before entering, because retrieving one from a dark maze floor rarely works.
Posted warnings at nearly every haunt advise against entry for pregnant guests and anyone with heart conditions, and they're not just legal boilerplate: expect startle scares, strobe bursts, uneven floors in darkness, and crowds that occasionally bolt. Lights-on daytime tours, midway areas, and pumpkin-patch haunts offer the atmosphere without the physical jolts. When in doubt, ask your doctor, not the ticket booth.
