The Haunted Attraction Network has officially opened applications for Hauntathon 2025, its annual 61-day multimedia celebration spotlighting haunted attractions worldwide. Running daily from September 1 through October 31, the event returns for its 11th year with an expanded focus on long-form video features, short-form social content, and podcast episodes.
“We’re proud to provide a platform that celebrates haunts of all sizes and styles,” said Philip Hernandez, founder of the Haunted Attraction Network. “From industry legends to home haunters, Hauntathon gives creators the visibility they deserve during the most exciting season of the year.”
