Halloween is An Entrepreneurial Haunt
Jim Hopkins in Small Business Connection:
Haunted houses, those annual attractions that have long been fundraising sources for non-profits, increasingly are the province of entrepreneurs. And tonight, of course, is their big night.Industry data are hard to pin down, my colleague Craig Wilson wrote recently. Still, Craig notes, “some in the haunt world say haunted houses and haunted theme-park attractions are now a $300 million- to $500 million-a-year business; top haunts bring in more than $1 million during the Halloween season. Tickets average $17, and the most popular haunts draw as many as 400,000 visitors a season.”
