Haunted Attractions Scare Up a Perfect First Date

Haunted Attractions are known for their fright factor, but it’s not all about the scares. According to the International Association of Haunted Attractions (IAHA), Haunted Attractions are also popular destinations for young couples looking to get acquainted.

In what some may see as old fashioned or even sexist IAHA President Timothy Gavinski said “Visiting a haunted house is the perfect first date it is almost a 100% guarantee, the girl will grab hold of the boys hand and hang on for dear life.”

Prior to the proliferation of the automobile, many young couples found the privacy they desired in the Tunnel of Love, a popular boat ride that helped bring couples closer together, either by the romantic element, or by frightening them so that they would cling to one another. The Tunnel of Love, and its close cousins, the Fun House and the Haunted House, were popular events at many trolley parks, early amusement parks, at the end of streetcar lines in many larger cities.

The Tunnel of Love, the Fun House, and the Drive-in Movie Theater have all but disappeared from the American landscape, but Haunted Attractions continue to grow in popularity, particularly among young couples.
