Haunted house

A haunted house is something people tend to be split on—even adults either love it or can’t stand it.
Even when you know the ghosts aren’t real, it’s scary and can really make you jump.
Haunted houses are a popular attraction at school festivals and the like, and they’re sure to be a hit with kids too, right? When it comes to haunted houses, you need ghost actors, sets, and BGM.
Prepare eerie, spooky background music to build the atmosphere.
These days, there are plenty of makeup supplies for costumes, so go all in and try some ghost makeup too!
