The haunt business is a multi-million dollar industry with its own tradeshows, experts, consultants, suppliers, magazines, associations, education seminars, gatherings and events. Each year, Haunted attraction owners and operators spend millions of dollars on state-of-the-art special effects and audioanimatronic creatures, Hollywood-quality make-up and masks, costumes, lighting gear, sound equipment, and much more.
The HAA represents the professional haunted attraction owners, operators, designers, vendors, and artists who have turned the business of fright into a multi-million dollar industry. If you have any questions about the Haunt industry please feel free to contact us.
