Not to keep this going but I should chime in on this as Jolly has involved Haunted Connection in this topic.
One thing I would like people to understand is that, for years Illinois and Wisconsin haunts and haunt actors were plagued with terrible fighting and bickering that really put a damper on the local haunted attraction industry. All of us have worked very hard to not only end that nonsense but to band together and help promote the industry in whole.
Now, actors and owners for several haunts have a much better relationship. We meet to hangout, share ideas, and just have a good time. Both during the season and in the off season. Most of us have visited each other haunts and share some good times.
Adam has had a HUGE part in this peace (for lack of a better word). So it's not surprising that the actors from Haunted Illinois and the local visitors of Haunted Connection stand up for Adam when he is upset.
We really don't consider each other competition any more. Yeah we still have our stupid bickering sometimes, but now it's more like a family dispute.
I'm not really sure what Jolly meant by "I'm not one of THEM anymore" but whatever, I don't really care.
To the comments about Wal-Mart vs. Target - If they did decide to cross-promote. So what? Do you really think it would make a difference? I still shop at both stores, don't you? My only point is that just because someone decides to go to Haunted House #1, doesn't meant their not going to go to Haunted House #2. In fact, as long and #1 and #2 are both a good show, the customer WILL and DOES go to both. Same goes for websites.
I'm really not taking sides. Our little community of hardcore haunters are really proud of ourselves for the community that we have built. Steve, Nicole, Adam, and myself are part of this. So, yes, we tend to have each others backs.
Not too different from the Haunt World community, which is why so many have stood up for Larry on this topic. It's actually very warming to see. I'm sure one day the 'peace' will continue
