Larry,

You are welcome to visit our haunt in Washington DC. It's is the first one inside the beltway in downtown DC.

Also, regarding your articles, I would like to offer my ideas in article form. I once wrote for Magic magazine. Since I am now a haunt owner my illusions and concepts could help the haunt community. I would even like to write this article for each issue. U still have my info so call me if interested.

I'd like to see more on set detail, and scare tactics.

Article Suggestion

I'd like to see an article with suggestions from successful pro-haunters on finding/renting/buying/leasing a good haunt location or facility.
What to look for.
What to avoid.
Good point and bad point comparisons between renting/buying, trailer haunt, tent, fabric structure, existing structure.
Suggestions on selling a landlord on the idea of a haunted house?

There are a lot of aspects on which this type of article could focus.

Show a little love...

...to some home haunts? I think it would be neat to see a home haunt or two up in there with the pros. Maybe a page or two article. Just an idea.

I totally agree. Plus maybe there could be a real estate agent in the mix, to give us perspective from "the other side" of the equation.

I'm not sure if you've written about this recently, but how about an article on queue line entertainment? I feel like more haunted attractions are starting to realize the value of entertaining crowds from the moment they drive onto the parking lot until the moment they drive away. Also... having great actors interact with audiences as they're waiting for 1...2... even 3 or more hours can really help build up suspense for the attraction or at the very least take a customer's mind off of the amount of time it takes to stand in line. The article can even focus on how some of the top attractions theme their queue lines.

I totally agree with u in fact we've been doing a lot more of it ourselves and during our haunt tour at transworld we will really focus on this. So sure thing.

We are currently looking for haunts who want to be featured.

Yes our friends from Atrox will be in this issue... their article looks badass probably the best one I've seen!

Brainstorm is getting to good at laying out these pages.

I wanted to mention all the articles are finalized now... there is an article on how to create corn mazes, an article from Allen Hopps, five featured haunt articles, and I wrote two articles one about how you track web traffic and the other one the letter from the editor is more or less an article as well about three reasons your attendance may be going up or down.

Jam packed issue.
