Haunted Attraction Network

An abandoned theme park sat deserted for years after a horrific accident, but now, the chaotic and haunted remains of what was once a fun-filled playland are coming back to life.

Slaughterland, located in Binghamton, New York close to the Pennsylvania border, will feature
four attractions—Dark Magic, Wendigo Woods, Frightmares 3D, and Fallen Fairgrounds. Two of these are indoor haunts, and two are outdoor walkthroughs that take place in a creepy forest.

This episode features owner Todd Fedyshyn as his journey to creating Slaughterland.

Slaughterland will open on September 27th and be open every Friday and Saturday night through October 26th.

Mikey interview Calum Beckett, the Creative Director of Scream Camp, the UK's only over night scare experience running today.

This week on Haunt Weekly we're doing something a bit different. Since we're home haunters, we get to spend much of our season not just building and running a haunt, but going to others. The problem is, that can get very expensive very quickly.

Over the years, we've found a lot of ways to ethically lower our costs quite significantly including finding great deals on haunted attractions and and other tools for lowering our costs.

Best of all, we are going to take this and flip the script, telling haunt owners which of these deals are worth it for you and which are just your customers getting in for less money.

Welcome back to a new season of Haunting The Globe! In this interview, I chat with Steve Sheldon and Charity Hill, Executive Producers at EPIC
Entertainment, about Dark Harbor in Long Beach and Dark Horizon in Orlando. Dark Harbor is one of the largest haunted attractions in Southern California and EPIC Entertainment is bringing their 'west coast style' attraction to Orlando for 2019. This is a fascinating conversation delving into the process behind the creation of Dark Horizon.

Mikey hosts a Q&A session with the creators of the UK's first and only scare attraction documentary UK HAUNTERS.

Dan and Jess spent a whole year documenting their work when visiting key players on the UK Haunt scene.

The documentary includes Broadwitch Hauntfest, R-Space Productions, Zed Events, Faceless Ventures, Scareface, Horrify Me, Andy 'Cookie Rawlings, Dan Burgess, Nick Hutson, ScareTrack and the BLUE BEAR GROUP!

It's easy to think about nothing but the ways that we make our customers happy. We love building great scenes, amazing scares and giving customers the screams they paid us for.

But here's the thing: A lot about going to a haunt kind of sucks... and not just the ticket price.

Every haunt has pain points. These are things that the customer has to do to go to a haunt, but that diminish the customer experience. Minimizing these pain points keep customers happy and can help improve your cash flow.

So take a ride with us as we look at the parts of haunting that suck for your customers and how you can make them suck a little less.

This Week's Episode Includes:
