2026 is the grand opening year for Colonial Curse and we are excited to offer the opportunity of becoming a sponsor! The haunt industry is growing exponentially every year, and attractions like Colonial Curse are becoming extremely popular, drawing in crowds in the tens of thousands throughout the month of October. Research shows finding more ways to reach a target audience is an ongoing challenge, and sponsorships are one way to get out in front of more people and turn them into potential customers. Though this sponsorship opportunity, let Colonial Curse take the scare out of advertising your business and make it a fun, easy, and inexpensive way for you to display your brand, product or service to thousands of people in the 18-34 demographic.
Haunted Attractions are the premier destination for any organization seeking to drive traffic, boost sales, raise awareness and promote products during the Halloween season.
Halloween is the second largest commercial holiday in the United States.
Approximately 90% of all households with children will participate in a Halloween activity, such as this one.
Halloween as an industry will generate more revenue in 60 days than Hollywood will generate the entire year from January to October. Hollywood will need November and December to catch up and pass the Halloween Industry.
Annual Halloween expenditure set an all-time high of over 11 billion U.S. dollars in 2024.
Research shows that people enjoy being scared while in a safe environment such as attending a movie, on a thrill ride or at a haunted house, and they are willing to pay for the experience.
In 2023, 44% of corporate marketers increased their sponsorship budgets, with a significant number raising their spending by over 40%.
Sponsorships for haunted events are on the rise, climbing an estimated 8% per year.
We have a variety of sponsorship opportunities available to you, but only a limited amount of each. These sponsorship opportunities will go fast, so reserve your place now, before it’s too late! We are seeking more than sponsors, we are looking to build meaningful relationships with business throughout Virginia and the rest of the U.S. Through this sponsorship, Colonial Curse will help your business achieve its goals in the most effective and rewarding manner possible.
