Thread: Going Pro?

What are some things and advice for going Pro. Not this year but perhaps next and what is everything that you had to have done? Anything would help. Thanks

I have no idea how to go Pro, but good luck to you. If you can write it down so we can all follow you.

I looked into it a few years back and there's a lot of business hassles involved. I may do it one day, but I'd need a lot more free time and money up front to do it right. There are a lot of things I hadn't considered like emergency exits, emergency lighting, flame retarding everything, permits, inspections, etc, etc,etc. All the things about it that aren't so much fun.

Or the things you don't consider, like someone claiming they were raped by one of your employees in the bathroom at the attraction (yes, it was later dropped as fictitious, but this accusation happened to one of the haunts here just last year or the year before).

I'v heard what a hassle it is but I would still like to make it into a full time business some day

Check out the forums at Haunt World.com. That's where most of the professionals post.

Are you talking merchandise, home huant or something a cop wouldn't like? Home haunts are a pain for insurance cost, hiring people, health insurance (if offered) liability insurance, safety hassards, safety checks, electrical inspections, building contracts and inspections just to name a few. Then if you go with a liquor liscense and serve you have another whole field to worry about. If merchadise, I would say try ebay and set up a store on it or start your own webpage. As for the last....hm never charge and I'm sticking with that statement!
