Could Drive Through Haunted Houses Save Halloween?
I was just talking to someone about Halloween and how it’s pretty much going to be irrelevant this year. No Trick-Or-Treating, no Halloween parties and therefore no need for costumes. Traditional haunted houses face the challenge of how to scare people effectively in the era of social distancing. However, a group in Tokyo, Japan may have laid the groundwork on how to do a COVID-19 safe haunted house.
The Scare Squad developed a drive-through haunted house where customers stayed in their cars. Zombies attack, fake blood is spurted, thrills are had. The 13-minute experience might be scarier than a regular haunted house because people are trapped inside their vehicles the entire time. There’s no running away from the nightmares. Okay then!!!
This sounds fun but can you imagine the long lines for these and do you think they can be developed and brought to the U.S. by Halloween?
