Advisers & Consulting

It’s all about Profitability!

We are your producers: We oversee your supplies, support and manage the staging of your haunted attraction production.

 

We are your creative directors: We are the directors responsible for identifying and implementing the overall image of the haunt with regards to makeup, special effects, artwork and how the attraction will be promoted.  We can even design your haunt from the ground up and help you build your own haunted attraction (you supply local laborers and we will manage and instruct them).

We are your liaisons: through our 30+ years of collective experience and skills in the haunted industry, we can guide you to the best manufacturers of haunted attractions, props, and scenery for your attraction or event; we can also broker deals on your behalf for new or used haunts for purchase.

We are your advisers: we educate, coach and guide you in all the logistics of creating and running a financially successful attraction.  We provide you with all the necessary information to make your haunted attraction, or event, a profitable investment. We do not manufacture the physical haunted attraction; this is the last thing to do after applying the plans to your business.

On special projects, we can partner with the client and direct all operations for the first year or two as needed.  We will help you hire actors and staff, train them and manage them through times of operations.

If you plan not to use a Haunted Consultant, do not plan to open a Haunted Attraction.
