8
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:37.039
and as always for the news roundup, I'm passing it

9
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:37.640
off to Darryl.

10
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:41.439
The following message is from Philip Pernandez, publisher of the

11
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:45.200
Haunted Attraction Network. Trends World's Halloween and An Attraction Show

12
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.119
wrapped up last Sunday in Saint Louis, and we held

13
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.079
the newsletters so we could get as much to the

14
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.200
complete coverage as possible in one place. The trade show

15
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:57.000
floor continued to shift. We've been watching towards retail tainment.

16
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.600
Vendors are continuing to build experiences around their and the

17
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.079
number of booths doing it. This year was hard to

18
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.879
miss dusk productions with cells, static props. One best booth

19
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.239
with a twenty foot tall Gothic cathedral facade that turned

20
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.159
their space into a beautiful walkthrough ticket Spice, the ticketing company,

21
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.000
built an immersive booth experience. Aunt Doll's debuted in new

22
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.799
in the Flesh experience, and Toxic Effects constructed a haunted

23
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.480
barn to showcase their pumpkin. It used to be that

24
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:30.000
only fabrication companies built facades, but now everybody is. It's

25
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:32.959
clear where the industry's expectations are headed, even at the

26
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.680
B to B level. Best new product went to Only

27
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.719
Dinosaurs for an animatronic bloody pig built on a robotic

28
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:44.200
quadruped platform originally designed for security patrols. It's a great

29
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.599
example of what this show does well. Someone takes technology

30
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.200
from a completely different industry, skins it for Halloween, and

31
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:54.640
suddenly you've got an autonomous, cable free pig that can

32
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:58.280
follow commands and interact with guests. We spoke with sixteen

33
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:02.239
vendors across the show floor, covering everything from animatronics and

34
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:06.319
lighting to ticketing platforms and marketing strategy, which we outlined.

35
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.960

45
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:49.599
Insurance dominated the state of the industry conversation, with premiums

46
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.520
up roughly twenty percent and carriers continuing to leave the space.

47
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.039

Designs and tailored to fear. Nobody does a show like Transworld,

69
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.079
said founder Matthew Kaprillian. It's the best of the best.

70
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:26.079
Nether Craft panels from Booth seven to twenty three showcased

nine forty. I created him for comic relief, said Edmunds

82
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.560
of the Grumpy Grandpa, but he's actually kind of scary

83
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.439
in the sense that when people realize he's dangerous, they

84
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:16.439
get scared. Haunt Dolls from Booth eighteen twenty two previewed

85

Flesh interactive experience series that gives show attendees something to

87
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:28.160
do beyond browsing the vendor floor. New installments are a

plan for the East Coast Haunters Convention and Midwest Haunters

89
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.800

90
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:38.120
that's fun at these events. At founder Alex Berlin, that's

00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:24.399

Hummel said she had joined the board to bring a

191
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:51.000
younger perspective. We do have a lot of different styles

192

Talloween and Attraction Show in Saint Louis, with outgoing President

199
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:20.159
Jim Werner moderating. For the second consecutive year, insurance was

200
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.519
the dominant topic. Warner described rising premiums, increased scrutiny from

201
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.080
underwriters and carriers continuing to leave the space. The board

202
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:32.879
reinforced that individual waivers for every customer are no longer optional.

203
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:36.720
Waivers were described as a continuum of protections that discourage

204
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.840
lawsuits and reduce the likelihood of recovery, but they're just

205
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.840
one layer. Werners that operators also need documented staff training,

206
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:48.600
incident reporting, proactive risk management, and mid show safety checks

207
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:51.759
in place before something goes wrong. They also urged operators

208
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:55.799
to read their policy exclusions carefully, noting that some haunts

209
00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:59.799
may not realize how much of their operation isn't actually covered.

210
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.720
Session also covered the eyes role in the industry, with

211
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:06.639
Werner encouraging operators to develop internal use policies, and the

212
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:11.399
growing problem of review weaponization between competing haunted attractions, which

213
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.159
the Association saw a significant increase in complaints about this

214
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:17.399
