HauntLaw is a public-interest reference for the haunted attraction industry — operators, designers, suppliers, hobbyists, home haunters, service providers, insurance professionals, and the lawyers who advise them. We collect the cases, dissect the statutes, and translate the parts that matter, so a great show stays a great show.
Specific risk language. Severability. The phrases that get waivers thrown out the morning of trial.
Tiered contact policies, signage, and training. The line where a brushed shoulder becomes a battery.
Carriers who write the trade, riders that close the gaps, and the claims that drive discontinuance or renewal.
Wages and breaks for performers, child-labor rules state by state, and the parental consents that hold.
Browse and learn from landmark cases that shaped haunt industry law — from the 1984 Six Flags fire that wrote the code to the modern waiver decisions still being argued.
Curated articles and guides from external sources, covering the key legal topics every haunt operator should understand — sourced from NFPA, OSHA, and the trade press.
Standards, codes, industry associations, and the state fire marshal offices you'll need on speed-dial. Bookmarks every operator should have.
