Business must-haves for those who want to make the most of the spookiest season

A full moon shines down into a fog-filled valley, eerily illuminating brave explorers who have dared to brave werewolf territory. This could be the premise to a horror film! Or it could be the interior of one of the immensely popular haunted house attractions that dot the American landscape. These haunts and smaller Halloween parties are planned far in advance. You can help your customers setup their bone-chilling attractions—be they large, crowd-drawing spooks or smaller, more intimate scares—with Halloween accessories.

Spooky Must-Haves

If you run a larger retail location or have customers that run large haunted houses, communication during this busy time of year is key. That’s why stocking up on items like 2-way business radios—for both yourself and your customers—is a great idea. These radios provide hours of talk time and are often cross-compatible with a variety of brands. To make communication even more convenient, you may also want to keep radios with over-the-ear microphone headsets on hand too. 

Bringing the Haunt to Life

For those who run professional haunted houses—or take their Halloween parties really seriously—there are a variety of accessories they need to bring their nightmarish visions to life. Outdoor lighting is a key component of haunts and lawn setups and can be used in a variety of different ways: from illuminating paths and walkways to creating a scary ambiance.

Sound is just as important to haunted houses as lighting. No scary atmosphere is complete without the eerie music and noises of things that go bump in the night. Powered speakers and sound systems add another layer of realism to any haunted house or scary attraction. Remember that while Bluetooth speakers are nimble and easily placed for homes or small parties, large attractions will need more dedicated sound options.

Scary Yet Safe

While there are thrills to have in a haunted atmosphere, proprietors and owners want to make sure that everyone who attends their attraction is safe too. Security wands can check thrill-seekers at the door to make sure everything is safe before they enter. 

Once guests are on-site, owners and personnel can keep tabs on all the goings-on with security systems and cameras. Many systems and cameras from Lorex boast patented Color Night Vision, so no matter how dark the haunt gets, users, can capture everything clearly.

Finishing Touches

Finally, your customers will want a few more Halloween supplies to drive their atmosphere to bone-chilling highs. Specialty lighting and fog machines can go a long way in creating the perfect Halloween atmosphere, and many products from CHAUVET DJ can help your customer achieve that perfect balance of thrilling awe. 

A Halloween to Remember

With these Halloween accessories, your customers can bring their dreams of a haunted attraction or more elaborate trick or treat setups to life.
