Since I was a little boy, I’ve loved Halloween and haunted houses. The really scary ones and the truly lame ones were all fond memories. During the heyday of my marketing career, I even had a client who asked me to help develop a haunted theme park. For years I visited the Halloween trade shows and met many of the industry leaders. It was so much fun to keep up with the new fright technology and the costumes, it scarcely felt like work. (The clients, on the other hand, not so much.)
For the past three or four years we’ve created our Friday and Saturday “Fright Nights.” Friday night is geared to be family friendly, with plenty of edginess to go around, but appropriate for younger kids. Saturday night is, as we say, NOT family night.
We couldn’t be happier our Fright Nights have become so popular with church groups, scouts, moms’ groups and other groups of all kinds.
