In the haunted attraction business, we get to make great (and terrifying) memories for a cornucopia of people every season. Whether from the security booth, back door, ticket counter, or our own little square inside the haunt- the feeling of watching a patron's excitement at jump scenes and awe from elaborate details is downright addicting.
