What is Halloween without the flavor of thrill-seeking? With this, thousands of haunted attractions in the US are gearing up to sow more fear in Halloween thrill-seekers. In fact, a survey by The National Retail Federation showed that more than 24 million Americans are planning to visit a haunted house this year.
