As you know Hauntworld.com is the WORLDS biggest directory for all things SCARY - SPOOKY - CREEPY and HAUNTED! Now many haunted houses are opening for Christmas tweaking their shows and adding a Christmas theme to their already scary attraction. We are providing an article and story about haunted houses open during the Christmas season. All of these attractions can be found on our haunted house directory. Look at the state they are located then search that state for that haunt then visit their website. Happy Christmas from Hauntworld.com
The doors are open, but will they come? That’s the question haunted attraction operators are asking about the potential for guests during the upcoming holidays. Christmas is an annual festival celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. It’s a time for family and friends to gather and exchange gifts and merriment, but is it a good time to scare the hell out of people? That’s what at least 36 haunted attractions around the country are about to find out.
Kelly Collins, ScareAtorium Columbus has noticed for many years that movie theatres, bowling centers and family entertainment centers are packed with customers on Christmas day and the weekend afterwards. College students come home, parents are off work and kids are out of school. People are looking for entertainment. Seven movies are scheduled for release this coming Christmas day, because studios know that people will be looking for entertain during the holidays. So, why not haunted attractions?
Kelly and his crew have decorated the ScareAtorium and created holiday characters with a special theme; Happy HorrorDays, an Xmas Nightmare. Guests will be greeted by Scary Claws, Bad Santa, Krampus and a collection of Evil Elves. We’ve spent several weeks adding festive decorations throughout both attractions; the Northland Asylum and RIP’s Funhouse in 3D. New scripts have been written and costumes were purchased just for the weekend of December 26, 27 & 28. Holding the event after Christmas means we aren’t competing with Christmas shopping or parties.
Now we’re hopeful for fair weather; last year we had average weather on Friday and the crowds were great, but on Saturday, a snow storm hit with 4 – 6 inches of snow and business was really slow. We’re hosting a major promotion with a local radio station with the hopes we can encourage guests to visit with their family and friends during the long holiday weekend.
