Advertising Rates

We're once again producing another edition of Hauntworld Magazine, the industry's #1 haunted house magazine.

What did we do for our advertisers since the 2005 Transworld Halloween and Party Show.

  1. Handed out over 2,000 magazines at 2005 Transworld Show.
  2. Was the EXCLUSIVE haunted house magazine, and was distributed in magazine racks in the lobby.
  3. Eliminated all banners on Hauntworld Yellow Pages for non-advertisers, and took your listings and added your banners to increase your visibility and web traffic.
  4. Created additional spaces throughout Hauntworld.com to place your banners.
  5. Created the ALL-NEW Hauntworld Network and placed FRONT page banners, side bar banners for your company on all of these sites. If you did not submit your side bar banners then we only used the normal banner you've already provided.
