Talk:Haunted attraction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Reasoning behind this page

Just wanted to start the talk page with an explanation behind the idea behind this article. This page is one of the results of a reorganization of several pages related to the topic of commercial and "real" haunted houses, and spooky attractions. This article is designed to encompass all forms of spooky attractions that are designed to that effect. This category includes, but is not limited to, commercially operated haunted houses (whether run by a for-profit company, a not-for-profit charity as a fund raiser, or a religious group using the attraction to convey a message), haunted hayrides, etc. This article should not be confused with the Haunted house article, which is about locations that are "genuinely haunted". The two categories are distinct, if not mutually exclusive. Similarly, there is overlap between Haunted attractions and Dark rides, in that some dark rides are designed as haunted attractions, such as the Haunted Mansion at Disneyworld, or the spook house rides at a traveling carnival. --Reverend Loki 22:59, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
