9 Days ‘Til Halloween – Haunted Houses

Things that go bump in the night…

Creatures & Monster lurking behind doors and bushes…

We are talking about Haunted Houses today in our Countdown to Halloween

There are approximately 1200 Haunted Houses & Facilities that spring up in the United States every fall facilitating a $300 – 500 Million industry.

Safety - Haunted Houses and attractions are EXTREMELY safe due to tough safety and fire codes they must all now live by. Most haunted houses inside a building are required to have a sprinkler system, early warning smoke or heat detectors which will alert the fire department, emergency lights, fire proofing of all materials inside the attractions, industrial electric applications, easy access doors throughout the attraction, panic hardware exit doors, multiple fire extinguishers, panic systems, and much more. Most haunts now must also be ADA compliant and have no trap doors or items on the floor that could cause trips and falls. Our members work with local and state officials to make sure that our attractions are up to code and safe for our guests. America Haunts take safety seriously (americahaunts.com)
