2015 The Scare Factor™

Welcome to our quarterly Halloween-happenings and haunt industry newsletter!

Our Free Haunted House Directory is now LIVE!

You heard us right, we said FREE! For 2015 we wanted to offer a little more to all haunt-goers, owners,

staff, and enthusiasts! Now it may not be the prettiest directory just yet, but we worked very hard

for several months straight in an attempt to add every single active haunted attraction that we

could find! If you notice that we missed an active attraction, please feel free to send us an email to:

teamzombillies@yahoo.com and we will gladly add it for FREE! Also feel free to contact us with

updates on currently listed attractions. We strive to offer haunt-goers the most up-to-date haunt

information so we appreciate any help you can provide! Check out the directory at:

http://www.thescarefactor.com/haunted-house-directory/ to find a haunted attraction near you or

to confirm that your attraction is listed.

Throughout the off-season we want to keep haunted attraction enthusiasts

updated on what we do. To help us do that, we have decided to drag the

camera along with us to some of the haunt-related events and activities that

we participate in! Subscribe to our channel today and you will be among the

first to know when we upload a new video!

On April 12th 2015, The Asylum in Chetopa, KS battled a horrible fire that

burned the haunt’s building to the ground. There was no insurance on the

building itself or its contents. The Asylum wants to reopen for the upcoming

haunt season, BUT THEY NEED YOUR HELP! If each of their fans were to

donate at least $1.00, it just might add up to enough for them to open! Those

who are willing and able to donate at least $20.00 will receive a free ticket to

the opening of “Asylum; The Aftermath.”

You can help save The Asylum by donating here:

Also if you have any questions or supplies you can donate (tools, wood, paint,

etc.) call Chris at: 620-719-7462

On April 17th 2015, Shattered Nightmares in Terre Haute, IN also battled an

enormous fire that destroyed the entire building and all of its contents. The

attraction only carried insurance during haunt season. They are also asking for

their fans’ support in helping them rebuild their haunt so they can open again.

Investigators are still trying to find out what started the fire, but the haunt

owners believe it was caused by an arsonist.

You can help Shattered Nightmares by making a monetary donation here:

supplies within this group:

thoughts and wish you luck on your future haunt-building journeys!
