Money Back Haunt LLC. (BS scheme or good marketing?)

Apparently, I can't have a grown-up conversation with Cookie Cutter. But no, I'm not their new screen name. Sorry you're so bitter, but I stand by what I said. In fact, you just proved what I said. But now that I have an account, anyone is welcome to talk with me anytime! My name is Richard and my home is in Tampa, FL. Go Bucs! I won't hide behind a screen name like others.

Hey look money back haunts made a new screen name and is using it to defend himself.

Haunted Castle

we have done a Money Back deal for the last 8-10 years started with Fear Factor and while its not for everyone it does bring in a crowd, for everyone that comes to try it they will have 8-10 friends who want to watch. No Scam just eat worms drink clabbered milk and lay in a casket with rats, spiders and snakes, try to cater to all the basic fears. If they do go through they get their money back and bragging rights that they made it. We do have app 10 major colleges within a 60 mile radus of our haunt and the college kids love it. Just another side show and draw. And in this economy it's just another way to draw a crowd, Differant strokes for differant folks, first I have heard about someone saying they have rights to it as we were the first to try this in the manner we do it.

Welcome aboard Haunt

Got to admit I respect your non timid -jump in with both feet on your first post. BUT...as a long time listener I think you know we will chew on anything like ravenous dogs...and nip at it waiting for it to bite back. We do not just let things go...kind of a pack thing. You hint at the reason in your first post...we have by deafault a weird reputation with part of society. And bad things in the industry wheter we like it or not affect all of us. I was asked to go on local news last fall several times because of a person calling 911 in a corn maze 600 miles from my maze.

So if something doesn't pass the sniff test; it gets tore apart here. Now; I think it is safe to say the 'business' is not a "scam". However; I still hope it fades away as I have to believe that the VAST MAJORITY of customers who respond by coming to a haunt from the wording "money back haunt" are under false impression we all know it gives them. That false impression being along the lines "This haunt must be bad ass and worth my money...not a lame place with kids saying boo" Then when they get there...they find that is NOT the case. It is a separate additional fee the customer pays to take the challenge...NOT the haunt at all. It is the bait and switch; false misleading "marketing plan" inside the haunt industry that I detest.

I have legal rights to sue ANYONE that calls themself a "Money Back Haunt", "Money Back Haunted House", or "Money Back"- anything, within the Haunted Attraction Industry.

Based on THIS statement, I think I'll be at TW 2013 marketing the "Cash Return Scare Infrastructure"

HAHA

No, but on a serious note, I'm glad the owner came on here to explain himself...sort of...because I DEFINITELY stopped by the booth and every question I asked that lady was answered in return by ANOTHER question. After walking in circles for all of 30 seconds, I promptly snatched a brochure and walked away seeing as I was getting NO WHERE.

Me: "Is this what I think this is?"
Lady: "Well what do you think it is?"
Me: "Is it anything like the famed myth in the industry"
Lady: "It may be. What myth?"

SERIOUSLYYYYYYY?? Why the hell am I wasting my time with a vendor who is now coming across to me as a person who knows NOTHING about their own product...totally defeating the point of a tradeshow if you ask me!! All personal feelings aside, I'm curious to see how well this all does. If claims here are true then it's going to be interesting to see how this all works...from implementing this business practice down to seeing any legal action run its course. GET EXCITED!!! ))

In the mean time, Howie, send me that info so we can get started on this Cash Return Scare Infrastructure, yeah?? ;D

Thanks for this post. This is just one of the first times I've ever seen other haunt owners rip one of their own so easily. You definitely did a great job making your point without telling me that what a moron I am! LOL!!! Although I don't have a haunt, people like you are why I love the industry so much! My buddy owns a small haunt outside of Tampa and I've been thinking for years about getting in. Why work for a living when you can play for a living! LOL!!! Thanks Wicked!

Please stick around for a while...this isn't even the WORST example of "let me rip this guy a new one while being only half-informed". Things get crazy every once in a while around these here parts. LMAO!!!

Wow. Look, make your Haunted House the very best possible and if I can help, contact me. If not, it's ok everybody! I'm not saying I know everything. But I have seen success with my idea I have adapted for my use and I know it can help others. Everything else here is name-calling and drama. This works and will help many Haunts this year, LARGE and small. And I'm proud of it. I welcome the constructive dialogue but am not gonna argue Federal Law Trademark Statutes with "Cookie" who doesn't understand basic business principles, much less Trademark Rights. I didn't come on here to sell my idea, I've only tried to explain my idea, and if I can help others understand better, feel free to email me at Chris[MENTION=21092]MoneyBackHaunts.com[/MENTION]. If not, it's ok everybody!

Ironic, Take this same enthusiasm (except take the jealous, negative tone out) and that's what I see out of my customers at my haunt. They LOVE this experience, coupled with great haunts, and it gets people talking and telling others, and coming back again! Point Proven. But we'll wait for the 2012 testimonials from other haunts that use the License. I believe they'll love the results they see
