Estimated cost of a 3600sf haunt?
For about five years I have debated on starting a haunt and it looks like I am getting closer. I have been researching a lot over the years but wanted some advice from the pros. We are starting our business plan and need some help.
I was lucky enough to acquire two 3600sf tents free of charge to use from a friend in the furniture business.
I was going to use one for the haunt and the other for queue line and ticket area. He has one a little smaller we can use also. We are planning on setting up in a parking lot of a large shopping center or mall. I am trying to setup a meeting with the FM to make sure we can avoid the sprinkler system.
My general question is what would be a estimate for this size attraction. I know that all depends on what goes in the haunt itself. We are looking to charge around the $10.00 to $15.00 range so with that what would we need to spend to justify that charge? Keep in mind that this is a brand new start up haunt and we are building from the ground up. We are thinking around 15 to 20 rooms/scenes of nice quality show.
We are not going to do an outside façade other than some banners and such the first year. We are going the “Hollywood Horror” or “Circus, Carnival” theme to keep from doing a façade. Might consider doing a façade next year if we think it is justified. We have bought the domain www.thehollywoodhorrorshow.com
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
