This event is hosted by The Cleveland Haunt Club, which is a nonprofit organization of over 3,000 “professional haunters, vendors, Halloween enthusiasts, and horror fans, as well as anybody into the spooky side of life,” says their website.

Despite the group’s inclination towards the sinister, the Cleveland Haunt Club is dedicated to using their platform for good rather than evil. For example, In 2022, they raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospitals through their special events. 

Ohio has quite a fervent “haunt” following, especially in Cleveland and Columbus, with entire Facebook groups dedicated to Ohio Haunters. If you’re like us and can’t wait until Halloween, the Ohio Haunter’s Association group (with almost 7,500 followers) is a great resource, serving as a sanctuary for horror enthusiasts to discuss haunted locations, conventions, and all things spooky.  No matter the time of year.
