submitted by haunters about their twenty twenty two

40

the respondents reported opening their haunts for
events outside of the Halloween season, with

42
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:22.199
the most popular time being crampest and
holiday season events. The total number of

43
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.879
guests visiting a haunt each year is
also increasing. Forty two percent of haunts

44
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:29.639
reported between one thousand and five thousand
guests in twenty twenty two. In twenty
