Ten years. After the tragedy, and what transpired in the haunt industry, HAH was borne to combat hate of the LGBTQIA+ communities with love, acceptance and inclusivity. I've said a lot over the years on social media – from the good to the bad – so I don't think it needs to be repeated again. The journey has been surreal to say the least – I never imagined there would be a Haunters Against Hate event every year (since 2021) at Movie Park Germany or Volume 9 of the Book of Haunters would end up on a billboard in Times Square in NYC. Ultimately tho, it's about the people I meet, who I can help, make feel accepted and loved, and know they always have an extended family in HAH.

See you in August in Kalamazoo, MI for the 4th event as we recognize our ten year anniversary as well.
Much love, Paul
