What the story is really about
This sample roundup demonstrates a repeatable article Better Haunts can publish every week during September and October.
All event details are placeholders and must not be used publicly.
The Service Journalism Job
A roundup should save readers time. Dates, location, ticket notes, scare level, family suitability, weather plan, and official links matter more than hype.
Hard-Haunt and Family Balance
The publication should serve both the fog-and-chainsaw crowd and the school-night pumpkin crowd without making either feel like an afterthought.
Public Launch Need
Every event named in a real version must be checked against official source information.
Source and verification note
This is local demonstration copy. Before public promotion, replace fictional or unverified material with real reporting, source links, permission-cleared images, and verified dates or quotes.
