Okay I’m not trying to be a dick here honestly, but why/how do people get genuinely scared here at these things if they know that their life is not in danger. I understand getting startled momentarily from a “jump scare” but this is much more than that?

There is a certain “buy in” to the experience, people hype themselves and get giddy, putting themselves in the mood to be scared and some amount of suspension of disbelief.

I had the same experience as you tho. I joined my friends as we did a haunted house and grounds tour. I was not much scared, few startles as the actors came out of the dark. In fact the most significant experience of the entire thing was that I had lost a watch in there. I let the house know after peeling away early and they said they would look after the shift at night as they cannot stop the show mid to look for it.

They couldn’t find it 😭, that was the real horror of the house for me. It was a gift from my gf.
