What the research says

Horror fans are easy to find in October. Most plans look in the wrong place.

So for the plan

Spanish-language Attention+ versions run in the cells where Hispanic horror fans over-index.

Signal layer: horror interest and Halloween visit signals across the US

Place layer: GeoGraph hexagon cells shaded by horror-fan density

Screen layer: highest-indexing cells in orange around major metros

Viamedia adds for Crystal Lake

Placer.ai visits to Halloween stores, haunts and showtimes, traced to the neighborhoods they came from
