Apparently, haunted houses can get to be pretty expensive to run, since you have to pump in money for bigger and better effects. Here’s a very detailed article about the industry: [The spooky, seven-figure business of Halloween haunted houses - BBC Worklife](https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20231016-the-spooky-seven-figure-business-of-halloween-haunted-houses)

Makes me wonder what places around here would be a good fit for a Haunted House, and if my city is big enough to support one.
