Haunters: The Art of the Scare is about my people. This is a documentary from director Jon Schnitzer about home haunts and the haunted house industry. If you’re not familiar, a home haunt is an elaborate series of yard and/or home decorations designed to recreate the experience of a Halloween haunted house at home. We put up these displays for anyone to walk through, usually free of charge, and do it because we love Halloween, horror, haunted houses, and being scared. I spend a couple hundred dollars a year building a new haunt from the ground up; the people featured in this documentary spend a lot more. For some (like me), it’s a hobby; for others, it’s an attempt to prove their skills and move up to working professionally in the industry.
