Descriptiontext

Haunted House Media is a privately held digital media company that operates the largest network of geo-targeted haunted attraction directories in the United States. Founded in 2006 by Ralph Quinn and headquartered in Commack, New York, the company runs 50 state-specific directory websites (e.g., NewYorkHauntedHouses.com, TexasHauntedHouses.com) plus 11 national vertical directories including Haunts.com, ILoveHalloween.com, EscapeGame.com, FarmFun.com, PumpkinPatches.com, and Haunted.Tours. The company claims more than 5 million annual visitors across the network, 1,700+ listed attractions, 15,000+ reviews, and a 95% advertiser renewal rate. The platform automatically syndicates state-level listing content into relevant national category sites, and the network supports a registered "Halloween Entertainment Guide™" trademark across state-branded directories.

The core offering combines SEO-optimized directory listings with a complementary website design and hosting service for haunt operators. Listings are sold as annual Featured or Ultimate subscription tiers with early-bird pricing through mid-April; the website design service starts at $700 and bundles mobile-first templates, hosting, SEO-optimized copy, domain registration, basic logo design, and integration with the directory network. Adjacent services include logo design ($99), character/mascot development (from $149), social media setup ($195), a 60-directory Local SEO package, and Google Cloud custom email ($95 setup + $5/month). Most traffic is mobile (70-80% per company claim), which underpins the mobile-first design posture.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led and event-driven, anchored by annual booths at TransWorld's Halloween & Attractions Show (St. Louis, Booth #1517), the Midwest Haunters Convention (Columbus, Booth #517), and Haunt Faire (Long Island, Booth #123). Inside sales close packages via toll-free phone lines (888-228-5265, 888-336-7020) and email, targeting small and seasonal haunted attraction operators across all 50 states. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual advertising subscriptions, supplemented by one-time website design projects, monthly website service retainers, and professional services such as social media management and local SEO.
