Families Learn How to Spook Their Homes this Halloween on the Internet

Posted on September 21, 1998

HalloweenNet.com has announced its arrival for the 1998 Halloween season. HalloweenNet is an interactive site that features "Tips & Tricks" to haunting your home. Families will find ideas and detailed plans to building their own haunt. Contests, haunted treats, movie reviews, and links to other Halloween resources are also featured.

This year, HalloweenNet has more creepy things than a real haunted house. Visitors can expect more props, recipes, movie reviews, and ghost stories than last year. They can even submit prop ideas and plans for others to see. HalloweenNet has also revealed an exclusive set of creepy sounds that can be downloaded by visitors online. They can then use these sounds on Halloween night to create their own haunted neighborhood home. HalloweenNet's book contest is now underway as well. Guests can enter to win a copy of the book A GhostHunters Guide, by Arthur Myers.

Launched last year with no promotion, this Halloween website did surprisingly well. HalloweenNet's creator, Steve Rowin, Halloween hobbyist and entertainment technology engineer, placed HalloweenNet online last year for a test run. Surprised by its mass appeal and success, he decided to officially open HalloweenNet with its new address, www.HalloweenNet.com, in August of 1998.
