The Crew at The Halloween Room

So over this past year the Halloween Room has finally made a business out our dream, Halloween Haunted attractions. We have assembled a core group of haunt enthusiasts who have the perfect blend of determination and positive attitude. The crew all worked feverishly to complete and help run Haunted High this past year. For those of you who are not familiar with this Attraction, it is located in Oconomowoc Wisconsin. Haunted High and Halloween Room both together created so much buzz within the community that the word of mouth spilled out into the surrounding communities. The haunted attraction pulled 9000 people and raised 85K in 10 days. Right now the Halloween Room is looking to make more communities and organizations money like we did for Haunted High this year. The Halloween room is a full service haunted design firm and we cater to the non-profit organizations helping consult, design, and possibly run your haunted attraction.

Dealing with PHD

PHD is something all haunters and Halloween Lovers might have to deal with once in there life. So you ask, what is PHD? It's short for Post Haunt Depression, and when halloween weekend was over I had it bad! From the high stress of opening night for my first official Haunted Attraction, to scarring the pants off grown men. I loved every minute of it. I knew this was my calling and I took it all in. Haunted High was closed the weekend of Halloween so i proceeded up to Menasha Wisconsin where good friends of mine also own and run a haunt by the name of Oblivion. I toured some Haunts in their area on Saturday the 30th and got the privilege to scare for them in their haunt on Halloween night. The rush of being that horrifying twitching man up against the wall waiting as victim passes by you, knowing that they are going to be scared but not knowing at what time you will jump at them is priceless. Needless to say I left Halloween Night around midnight to make the long trek back home so i could finally rest from a month of nonstop mayhem.

Once the monday morning sun popped out I had a cup of coffee at the kitchen table and thought, what am i going to do now? It was like my Wife had left me and took the kids. It took about 4 weeks for the feeling to pass and now that christmas is around the corner helps keep my mind off of the real Holiday.

In January My wife and I plan on straightening out the E-commece portion of Halloween Room. Making it more streamlined and able to compete with the big boys of Halloween Costume sales.
