Haunted Attraction Association Certifies 50 'Top Haunts' Attractions

Association Recognizes Best in the Industry for safety, education and overall scares.

SALT LAKE CITY, UT / ACCESSWIRE / September 13, 2024 / It's Friday the 13th! Halloween merchandise is in stores and pumpkin spice drinks are everywhere, pointing to one thing: It's haunted house season! Each year the Haunted Attraction Association (H.A.A.), the only official association in the haunted house industry, names the "Top Haunted Attractions" across the country. To be designated, attractions must be recognized as a member of H.A.A. while also satisfying a list of criteria related to the mission of H.A.A. - protect customers, promote haunted attractions, and educate industry experts and employees.



"Based on consumer index data and our own Association trending data, "the world loves this time of year and is excited to attend haunted houses this fall," said H.A.A. President, Spencer Terry of Fear Factory Haunted Attraction in Salt Lake CIty, UT. "Visitor safety will always be the number one priority of our industry, even before thrills and scares," Terry added. The Top Haunts certification rewards those attractions that have been in operation for at least 10 years, meet a long list of criteria, and are not only leaders in delivering some of the best scares in the business, but also in setting the bar high for best practices in safety and overall operations. "We're proud to see these attractions step up to meet the requirements of this national award, to not only be the best but to also dedicate themselves to safety," said Brett Molitor, Top Haunts Director and former President of H.A.A. of Hysterium Haunted Attraction in Fort Wayne, IN.

Here are the official "H.A.A. Top Haunted Attractions," also to be found here.
