Spidey D’s Dunkin’ Horror House
For October, a Dunkin’ in Salem became “Spidey D’s Horror House”, turning an everyday coffee stop into a Halloween attraction. The takeover brought spooky surprises, fortune-telling from Zoltar, themed merchandise and a limited-edition drink menu.
Why it worked: It hijacked Salem’s October tourism surge with a location-specific stunt and limited-time menu, guaranteeing hyperlocal, visual, foot-traffic news value.
The lesson: Consider staging a month-long, place-specific takeover tied to a local calendar spike, anchored by a quirky interactive prop and LTO product.
