Haunted Attraction Network’s Annual Hauntathon

Countdown to Halloween with daily podcasts from the Haunted Attraction Network’s annual Hauntathon. September 1st through October 31st, this daily programming will help haunters navigate the unique challenges of this upcoming Halloween season.  

“This year’s Halloween is critical for the industry, and we’ll be there every day to help. While we’re producing serious segments on emerging issues, we also need some room to enjoy the holiday; I’m thrilled with the balance of informative and entertaining content that we have lined up. I’m grateful to all the partners that have stepped up to help this year,” – Philip Hernandez, Publisher at the Haunted Attraction Network and CEO of Gantom Lighting.

As a contributor to the Haunted Attraction Network, I am proud to be a part of this 61-Day Hauntathon. Keep an ear out for my interviews with various haunters and some on-location audio from haunts around California! As usual, I will also help create the weekly newsletters to keep you  up-to-date with all the haunt industry news from around the globe.
