They are experiencing false memories, which is a problem people sometimes have in legal situations involving trauma. Someone is in a fight, or an accident, and they "remember" things that didn't...

The haunted mansion is probably the only haunted house that you never want to see change, EVER. It's the only reason that-- if I were cleaning out a freezer and found the cryogenic head of Walt...

Capt. Chaos, you said a slower year this year made no sense because your marketing was up from last year, however, you didn't mention if last year was your FIRST year or not. If so, it would make...

One should always be upfront if other actors are getting anything, even if it's only a bonus gift because 1.) It's the honest thing to do and 2.) they are bound to find out anyway, so you might as...

That's some good feedback Big T, if you have success in other marketing efforts, be sure to share it with us (as well as the failures). That way we learn from other's mistakes and successes instead...

Thanks Larry for your detailed posts on this subject. It was painful to see two friends duke it out in public over a difference of marketing opinion, and maybe even some feelings were hurt, but we,...

We had the same problem with masks, so we appointed a prop master/ costume lady/ make-up artist person to check them in and out. She locks up the room after outfitting & making up everyone, then...

If they did some of it but not all of it, renegotiate a new price that you both can live with. But do not stiff them. An honest person doesn't expect something for nothing, and they can certainly...

Just another in a long line of cookie-cutter toys that haunts with too much money and not enough imagination turn to. Expect to see the same exact effect at Ripley's Believe It Or Not and a slew of...

A picture would sure help.

Activists use any sort of tie-in to promote their agenda. Clowns complain about clowns at haunts, mental patients complain about insane asylum themes, etc. etc. If it gets their editorial in the...

It's a shame when people see that we're working so hard to please them then turn that around and use it against us. They sense our desire to make them happy as a weakness they can exploit. We want...

Sunday night is a good night to do a charity benefit and see if they can drive up traffic. It's also good to urge people who don't like to wait in line to go on that night.

What are the VIP dogtags? Just laminated plastic passes with VIP on them or something else?

We wire most things down or screw them in. The shoplifters find it very frustrating.

Or you can just do it since no one is likely to complain. The worst that can happen is they bitch about it and you edit them out. Most people like the attention (assuming they aren't cheating on...

If you spelled it Zombie PORN instead of PROM, I suspect it would be a sell out.

Of course doing an LLC won't stop you from being sued. It isn't intended to. What it stops is what they can go after: Instead of your house and personal assets, they are limited to the assets of the...

Some great posts here, thanks for all who contributed. I think they all have merit, but at the same time, some claims are not universal. The feeling that "you get what you pay for" certainly applies...

Spend the $300 on insurance, not the lawyer. That's my advice (and I'm not even charging you for it).

We do both. If it rains, we move the outside folks inside.

We suggest teens age 13 and up only, but I was a kid once and I would have LOVED to go to our haunted house-- so we can't say "no" to them without being total hypocrites. If they do come and they are...

I like this idea. It saves storage space at the haunt, they take care of it better, and there is less chance of passing around germs. I would only reimburse AFTER the season though, so they don't...

That "Play Dead" looks like a great show, and I'd really like to experience it. Phillip Morris (one of the old time Ghostmasters) mentioned Play Dead as a really good Spook Show knock-off. Morris...
