Ben,
Your thoughts are dead on...I will be the first to admit that I've had other haunters in our area throughout the years come to our haunted house on a Saturday and say "everyone says our house is the scariest in town'.
I usually then ask if it's so scary what are you doing here? You should have lines wrapped around teh building. YOu would think huh?
Fact is a haunted house with small crowds have the inside advantage and should be able to do a better job and scaring people. It's those haunts who do the big numbers who must entertain guests in all sorts of ways because it's harder and sometimes impossible to scare people especially on a busy Saturday night.
Detail or eye candy is very important to any attraction that brings in the large crowds.
Fact is I think almost everyone who starts off starts with a scary haunted house lacking much detail. I know thats where I started with a very small, cheesy but very scary haunted house.
As you grow you learn more often than before you can't make everyone happy all the time but you can make a lot of people happy most of the time.
