How Being a Haunter is like Being a Time Lord (a short essay): Most haunted attractions in which the guests walk through, try to maximize guest pathway distance within a minimum amount of square footage. That way guests get the longest possible walking time in the attraction while the haunt occupies the least amount of area.

This is better on rent, raw material usage, and, importantly, the effective use of haunted house performers #haunters 🧵 👻

Speaking of #haunters, my origin is with an amazing non-profit haunt. None of us were paid, and we, as a group, worked insanely long hours in punishing conditions to produce some of the most impressive haunt characters and haunt scenes I've ever seen in any haunt, no matter the money behind it.

A friend described paid haunted attraction workers vs us: "They're like hitmen: they do it for fun and profit. You're like serial killers: You don't have a choice."
