I don't think there is many in this Industry that don't know me. You know when I see an unwarranted attack I am going to play protector and this is the case with this post. I have sat back and bit my lip so many times over and over and over and enough with the cheap shots. I can say this...... I support ALL local haunts and ALL Alabama Haunts . With me it's never been about the money God has blessed me it's about the love of haunting and Halloween. I have flyers and posters and banners of all haunts in the area and proudly display them at my attraction ( they all will tell you this) I mean after all are we not a big family? But I have seen this new Haunt "The House of Horrors in Courtland Alabama" they are over an hour from me and are closer to Arx Mortis. However I have seen repeated and I mean repeated post on their facebook page allowing them to post how they are so much better then this haunt and that haunt. Honestly I am no fool and marketing is my game it's very clear these people are coerced into name dropping half the post says how much better it is than Arx, Sloss, Atrox and Disturbia ( although they use my haunts name less) I NEVER allow a poster use a name of another haunt on my Facebook page out of respect to others. It's one thing to say ' best haunt in the area", " best haunt I ever been to", " favorite haunted house" but its another to say " way better than Arx Mortis", " better than Atrox", " Better than Disturbia" or who ever and then to reply and agreeing is just sorry and will gain you no friends we have all talked about this and it's just tackey and I MEAN TACKEY!!! You will not see this on any of our pages! When a customer uses another haunts name on my site it's removed as soon as I catch it. I always send a thank you email and saying thanks for the great reviews but out of respect for for my friends in the haunted house world I removed the comment out of respect to them and due to the fact you used their name, but I am so honored you liked mine the best.
I can see they have only like 500 facebook friends where Me, Arx, Atrox has in the thousands. I could stand up and say wow you walked right in over there on a Saturday night when all us others had a 1 to 3 hour wait? I mean after all there is a reason for the long waits right? I could also say WOW when I went to your haunt and supported you and I seen several rooms you tried to knock off from my haunt was maybe a little distasteful? Actually I say well what a compliment they wanted to be like me I give them a "C" for effort. I might add they visited my haunt several times at the beginning of the year but I myself never met with them.
I guess enough with the rant but does this go on with your local attractions? and if so why? I mean should we not all support each other. Again I am sorry but being the new kids on the block your sure as hell not making friends. I would also say that any other attraction owner would go through the big haunts here and go there and say I would not worry about them and I agree! I am not they can't hurt my business one bit because I focus on....
1... My Haunt
2... Engaging in friendly competition
3... Extend the olive branch as a haunt owner
4... Focuse on my show
5... Not allow other haunt owners to be bashed ( as me and my haunt is sure as hell not perfect)
6... Try to encourage others to go to everyones haunt because we all offer something different
7... Not use the comments like... state of the art, Disney level,better than anyone in Alabama or where ever if you sure as heck can't back it up.
These are just somethings and again I am just fed up with all of us guys taking a beating because a few people counted everyone in our lines and said " wow lets do this they are getting rich" NEWS FLASH FOLKS IT AIN'T GOING TO HAPPEN! We all grew up with the love of haunting and haunted houses and not about the dollar. It's clear they need to bash in order to get attendance up. I am sure their family and friends are tired of having to advertize for them because if they keep that up that's all the business they are going to get!I want to say you have an awsome old school building and you call it House Of Horrors? They not only have a lot to learn about respect but about the haunted house business in general!!! I am feeling something like " School of death" maybe " College of Death" so much you can do with an old school and all you want to do is bash! Hey call it " School of Bashing"! Ok I am done I would like feedback as to how you and other your other local haunts get along? Shane and it's just got tired of seeing my friends bashed! Shane
