That's right go for the grass roots, in fact, we can work together on this. I know the Elmwood strip would be an amazing market for us.

I think you have to be a pro haunt, or have a business license or something in order to charge.
Im not exactly sure. Im a home haunt myself, ive never charge and entrance fee.
If i were you, id take it up with the city, or something like that first.
Because if i remember correctly, you have to have a license, or approval of some sort to charge for entrance.Skidduhlicious

To expand on "flyers out the wazoo" (as it was so delicately put), contact local fast food chains and see if you can get your flyers or coupons at their locations in exchange for a sponsor spot on your site and flyers. You can also check with your local coke or pepsi distributors and see about getting ad ad/coupon put on their cans in exchange for a sponsorship spot on all your marketing materials and website if you have one (The more places you have for them to put their logo the better your chances may be of getting them to agree). You figure how many people drink sodas everyday in any given region and this is a no-brainer. Maybe even try local pizza places and see about having flyers glued onto every pizza box. Also contact local Halloween stores and see if they'll either let you put stacks of flyers at their counters or let you tape a flyer to the front window. I know the Halloween Express here has flyers for haunted houses taped in the windows every year.
Since you said this is a charity haunt it may increase your chances of success.

It's better to target your distribution somewhat. One per pole or window or car is plenty. Nothing irks me like seeing things plastered all over the place, especially knowing that they aren't going to be removed when the event is over. This can be an important lesson in community relations: You won't get credit or good publicity for taking down your fliers, but you will get a bad reputation if they are still up in December.

I was also strongly keeping this public only in the town of lancaster because I do not have much room for people to park and if I am getting people from towns over (which I highly doubt would happen) they would be parking on both sides of the street which could get me in some trouble with the police. WOrst comes to worst they could shut us down and that would be bad. I would advertise on elmwood but i'm staying as local as I can but at the same time getting a healthy bunch of people to scare
