[neverending]

They are still there. Perhaps in your area they're not being done for some reason. If you look around the internet you'll find plenty of companies that are selling props and effects for haunted houses. Something has to be keeping them in business. I post on a lot of Halloween themed message boards and there are members on many of them who are discussing their haunts for this year. I think in general this year is a slower year for Halloween. There was a lot more buzz around Halloween last year. Maybe next year will be another big year.

In general though, it's my impression there are haunts happening across the country this year.
