Halloween-season attractions like House of Shock are big business. Ranging from haunted houses to former prisons to amusement parks and even farms with haunted barns and hayrides, the haunted attraction industry is worth $2 billion in two dozen countries worldwide, according to Larry Kirchner, editor of Hauntworld magazine.
