By its very nature, haunting is an up-and-down business. Sometimes, the queue lines are packed, and other times, it's impossible to get a crowd.After a few gangbuster years, things started to look scruffy, and there were a lot of indicators that should have given the haunters pause. No matter what the economy is actually doing, perception is 9/10s of reality.So, let's examine the challenges the haunt industry will face this year and what, if anything, we can do about them.This Week's Episode Includes:1.

This week on Haunt Weekly we're doing a topic that, for us, has been a LOOOOOONG time coming: Aphantasia in haunting.What is aphantasia? It's the inability to form pictures in your mind.Where most of the population can picture a beautiful beach or a country cottage, people with aphantasia see only words, letters or numbers.Though this was originally discovered in the 1880s, it's been getting a great deal of attention irecent years as more people have woken up to the idea that not everyone sees things the same way in their mind.So what does aphantasia mean for our industry? How can we better serve customers with it and, perhaps most importantly, work with oher creatives who have it? We brought in our girlfriend and and partner Elli, who is one of the few with aphantasia, to answer these questions and more.This Week's Episode Includes:IntroConference RemindersBackground Info on AphantasiaAphantasia in Haunt CustomersWorking with People with AphantasiaConclusionsAll in all, this is an episode you do not want to miss.In the meantime, feel free to check out this article on the BBC, which features a test you can take to see where you see on the aphantasia spectrum and this post on Facebook about what it's like to live with aphantasia.Get in Touch and Follow Us!Facebook: @HauntWeeklyTwitter: @HauntWeeklyYouTube: @HauntWeeklyEmail: info@hauntweekly.com
