If I hurt my knee at a haunted house last night while going down a slide that I think I was a little to tall for, is the haunted house obligated to pay for my medical bills?
I can’t bend it today. If there are medical expenses should they pay for them?

Based on what you write, the haunted house is not likely to be liable: if you went down a slide that you think you were "a little too tall for," then it was your negligence, or carelessness, which caused the injury, not the haunted house's--i.e. you were negligent to use a slide you were too large for. If it is your negligence, then they are not liable.
