I Dream of Haunted Houses

Do you have some sort of fantasy about building the best haunted house – ever? Would you like help building a haunted house? Would you like to learn all about haunted house makeup? Do you get a thrill from scaring people? If you live in Denver than you definitely are in the right place.

Your first order of business is to contact one of the local haunted houses about working for them this season. All of them are looking for volunteers and workers. Many have paid positions. What’s greater than getting paid to scare people? It helps if you have some previous experience, but most places are willing to train you. Then, after putting in a month of screaming and dealing with obnoxious intoxicated teens, you’ll know if you are cut-out for more.

There are tons of Denver Haunted Houses. That makes getting your foot in the haunted house business easy. Even if you have lots of money and want to start right away, it’s a good idea to invest a season working for someone else before setting up your own haunted house.

If you are really serious, put June 3-5, 2011 on your calendar right now. That is the weekend of The Midwest Haunters Convention in Columbus Ohio. It is THE event for Halloween enthusiasts, Haunted Attraction Producers, Actors, Artists and Home Haunters. It is chock-full of educational seminars and workshops with experienced presenters, a 75+ vendor tradeshow with the latest in haunt offerings, and it’s a great place to network at the many social activities they have throughout the weekend. Events include haunted attraction bus tours, costume parties and contests (the Bloody Mary Monster Makeup Wars competition, Body Art Fashion Show, Ms. Midwest Scary Pageant & the IAHA Scariest Character Contest).

So what are you waiting for? Check out our website and contact the haunted house closest to you and line up a job and you’ll be on your way to building the Greatest Haunted House Ever!

Denver Haunted Houses | 2010 Haunted House Season

There is a lot of excitement centered around the upcoming 2010 Haunted House Season in Denver.  Here at HauntedRatings.com we have been receiving several emails about new haunted houses that are planning to open up their doors this coming season.  We have also gotten updates from several different Haunts that you enjoyed last year.   The 13th Door Haunted House, Curse of Slaughterhouse Gulch, The Haunted Mansion, The 25th Hour Haunted House, The Butcher Haunted House and the City of the Dead Haunt are among the many that will be returning for 2010.

New this year to HauntedRatings.com we will be adding a new feature called HOME HAUNTS.  A Home Haunt is one that is usually set up in a garage, back yard, driveway and in some cases, a Home Haunt can utilize the entire home.  They can run for 1 or 2 days up to several weekends.   There usually isn’t a charge to see them, but donations are appreciated.  A person who runs a Home Haunt spends hours and hours putting it together and does it for several different reasons.  Some do it for a specific charity while others do it for a neighborhood activity, but all of them do it because of their love for Halloween.  Several of Denver’s Home Haunters have gone onto run some of the best Pro Haunts in Denver.

So, while the rest of the country is depressed, Haunters in Denver are feverishly building and painting walls, constructing props and figuring out the best way to scare anyone who is brave enough to enter their establishment.

We will begin updating listings for HauntedRatings.com in mid August.  If you have a haunt that you would like to have listed, you can send me the information at hauntmaster@hauntedratings.com or call me at (720)261-0570.  I will have a form online that you can fill out or you can just send me the information and I will take care of it for you.  Remember the listings are FREE! Feel free to contact me with any questions.  I just love to talk Halloween!!
