This had to be the biggest Shark Tank deal to date. So brace yourselves Melissa made a funding proposal of a $2 million investment for a mere 10% of the equity in her business. However, one can safely say that the theatrical drama and grand entrance entourage were merely a low blow in comparison to the pitch she was about to make. And so, a few days before Halloween, she and her crew appeared on Shark Tank, bringing all the horror with them. It is safe to say that Ten Thirty One Productions was the right path for taking up funding to expand because Melissa decided an appearance on national television with much-anticipated drama would definitely do her show good. She wanted to expand and carry the show to New York, where she expanded her visionary business model to become the world’s biggest and best Halloween-based entertainment business venture. However, having successfully made a name in the local LA live entertainment industry, Melissa had big dreams and ambitions. There were also premium slots available for guests who would rather take a private wagon to enter a maze designed purposely for the objective of “true dread” called “Purgatory Side Show.” This is precisely where big money started rolling in, as the fear of missing out kept people coming back every season. Every fall, for seventeen nights, Ten Thirty One Productions would put up a show called “Haunted Hay Rides,” selling for $30 a ticket. In fact, her success didn’t even have to take much time to showcase her numbers as almost immediately she was a famous name around town in the local entertainment industry. And given the success she achieved, she was all set on it. She had one goal in mind – to be able to stage the best haunted hayrides in the country. Now, as the owner of Ten Thirty One Productions, she launched this major Halloween-themed live horror company in 2009 in Los Angeles, California. Melissa is a former executive for Clear Channel Communications.

She definitely sets the bar for all other Halloween episodes simply with an entrance. Melissa Carbone and her horror troop of actors make an appearance on Shark Tank as they successfully spook out the whole place and create a scary aura about the place. Our Review of Ten Thirty One ProductionsĮxpect Shark Tank to go all out for Halloween, with even the business pitches completely relevant and on-theme.
