At this year's Propeller Fest, one of the New York metropolitan area's largest technology and BIZ Experiencesship meetups, BIZ Experiences.com editors listened to and critiqued a number of 60-second business pitches in the "Pitch the Editor" challenge. The Fear Experience was one of the 10 contestants our editors selected.

The Fear Experience is a haunted house that attracts tens of thousands of people year-round. Based in Cleveland, the startup has been recognized by local media as "Northeast Ohio's Premier Haunted Attraction."

The amusement-based startup has grown since its launch, offering other Halloween events such as pumpkin patches and costume shops.
