This question is for those who currently run a haunted house as their primary source of income, or at least a major source of income.
Think back to your first 3 years hosting a haunted house. How did you start?
Some of the facts I would be curious to know......
Home Haunt?
Not for Profit Haunt?
Take over an existing haunt?
Did you build it from scratch?
How many guests did you have in year 1, 2, 3?
What were some keys that set you apart from others doing the same thing?
Before being able to use lots of special effects, what were your most successful scare tactics.
My goal with this thread is to help those of us in our first 3 years move up the learning curve faster. If, as Larry often says, the Haunt Industry is better off having more haunts in many markets, then this type of information could really help some of the industry as a whole, but also those of us entering that phase where a significant investment in materials, effects, location are needed to move forward.
I just want to know from those that are successful, what their roots are in this industry.
