17,000-- Reported number of people on the wait list for McKamey Manor, an "extreme" haunted house in San Diego that takes four to seven hours to get through depending upon how fast you run from the baddies. (Don't you think "extreme" has become sort of an extremely overused word?)
1,650-- Number of haunted houses listed on Hauntworld.com in the U.S. and Canada, down from a peak of 4,000 a decade ago, according to Larry Kirchner, editor of Hauntworld.com, the biggest haunted house listing. Rising costs of operating haunted houses and rising admission prices have left only the biggest and best standing., he said. (I think we ion the Round Lake Area Jaycees charged about $2 to get in our haunted house back in the 70s.)
1.2 MILLION-- The number of online searches for "Frozen" Halloween costumes, far more than the 873,000 searches for last year's top costume--a pirate. The runner-up this year was a zombie, with 863,000 searches ccording to SLI Systems, which studied site search activity across 17 costume retailer websites based in the U.S., United Kingdom and Australia from September 1st to Oct. 26th.
