The Billion-Dollar Business of Haunted Houses

Haunted houses may be open for just a few days a year, but the attractions make for a scary-big business.

FBN’s Lauren Simonetti reports that Halloween is a $7.5 billion holiday.

“$2 billion of that is candy and $1 billion for the haunted attractions,” Simonetti said.

Simonetti reported live on Halloween from the BANE Haunted House in New Jersey, located in a formerly abandoned college.

“Over 1,000 people spent $22 each yesterday to attend this haunted attraction,” Simonetti said.
