Halloween. In less than six months we’ll be enjoying the haunt season and all it has to

offer. Don’t think the (g)hosts aren’t aware of this and are already making plans for

spooky season. The day this show goes up, Meathook Jim and Badger will be at the

Ohio Haunters Convention in Mansfield and are hopefully gathering lots of interviews

and participating in other spooky stuff. Also, Badger was at the East Coast Haunters

Convention a couple weeks ago in Philadelphia and brings you plenty of interesting

interviews with haunt owners, vendors, and more. If you missed it, you’ll feel like you

were there. There’s a lot going on this episode so stay tuned.

Storm is ranting about AI obsessing over goblins in a Haunt Minute (yes, really).

Meathook Jim is bringing a new short horror story to Between the Corpses. Badger

brings you the latest in Deadline News. And the Old Crone is talking human resources

with the company Dreadful Damsels. We have a brand new Gruesome Giveaway for the

month of May so listen carefully for your chance to win. Finally, we’re spinning some

spooky tunes to celebrate halfway to Halloween

The Roundtable of Terror invites a former guest back for a followup. Dr Susan

Weidmann of Appalachian State University has spent the past couple years doing

research on Haunted Attractions and we discuss her findings on how haunted

attractions tell stories and how to give the customer the best bang for their buck. She

hopes to begin presenting the data at tradeshows and conventions in the very near

future. It’s an interesting conversation that we hope you’ll enjoy.

internet, and the haunt industry has never been the same. It’s hard to believe that the

Big Scary Show has been entertaining, informing, interviewing, and covering the

Haunted Attraction Industry for so very long, watching it grow, evolve, adapt, and

become scarier and spookier each year. What started almost as a whim, has become

one of THE definitive voices in the industry and we’re showing no signs of slowing

down. There’s just too many haunted houses, conventions, haunt owners, staff,

animatronic builders, prop makers, and so much more that we've yet to cover, so stand

back, because we’re just getting started.

winner for the April Gruesome Giveaway? Stay tuned to find out. Finally, we’re spinning

some rockin’ tunes as you travel to and from Philadelphia for the East Coast Haunters

Convention.

icy, and can cause a lot of headaches trying to get around. So instead of venturing out

into the cold, why not throw another log on the fire, pour yourself a hot toddy, and relax

As we say goodbye to the holiday season and settle into the long cold winter, take

solace in the fact that many haunters are not lounging at home huddled under blankets

trying to keep warm. Nope, they’re hard at work preparing for their Friday the 13th and

Valentine's Day haunts that will be opening in a few short weeks. Others are trying to

finish up those props, animatronics, and other items to show off at Transworld in St

Louis in just a couple months. The Big Scary Show (g)hosts are also hard at work

making sure you’re up to date on all the latest haunt news, information, and goings-on

excited that Spooky Season is almost here. There are Code Orange alerts happening

faster as we bring you some extensive coverage of Midsummer Scream direct from

Long Beach, California If you missed the biggest Halloween show of the year a couple

weeks ago, don’t worry. There’s plenty of cool interviews that Badger will be bringing

former contestants. Micah Ebbe from seasons 10-11 and Rick Prince from season 5 to

Buckle up everyone, the Big Scary Show Episode 347 is going to be a wild ride. It’s not

only build, hiring, and actor training season, but there’s a LOT of conventions happening

across the country. Badger just wrapped up trips to Creepycon in Knoxville, TN and

Haunters Against Hate: The Event in Louisville, KY and brings you interviews from their

respective show floors. When this show drops, he’ll be in Long Beach, CA at

Midsummer Scream covering the event and gathering even more interviews. We sure

hope he’s getting frequent flyer miles. In the meantime, sit back and enjoy coverage

from these shows.

Storm is still on assignment, so we’re bringing you a ‘best of’ Haunt Minute. Meathook

Jim is talking to Damien Reaper in Between the Corpses, Badger brings you the

latest in Deadline News. The Old Crone is revisiting AI, with uses and pitfalls.

We have the Gruesome Giveaway for August. And finally, we’re

spinning some spooky tunes (courtesy of Midnight Syndicate). Why? Just because…

The Roundtable of Terror invites our good friends Ed Douglas and Gavin Goszka of the

aforementioned Midnight Syndicate to discuss some BIG news that they are

announcing. They’ve been working on some super-secret projects that they’re finally

revealing to all their fans. Also, could there be some new music coming out soon? I

industry. We invite a trio of TikTokers to have a seat and discuss how they use it to

promote their haunts and their spooky side projects. Whether you’ve been using TikTok

for years, or think TikTok is just the sound a wristwatch makes, (and for you kids under

age 30, a wristwatch is a clock-like bracelet that you wear on your wrist that you

occasionally have to wind and makes a ticking sound), you can’t deny that this social

media platform can absolutely be useful for your haunt. All this and so much more.

manner or by customers, or even unsafe sets. We had such a lively discussion last

episode that we brought back the same trio of actor trainers from the last roundtable to

continue our discussion on acting tips and techniques designed to keep you safe and

spooky this haunt season. If you’re a haunt actor, take notes because some of the

We’ve officially passed the halfway point to October and there’s a lot of work to be done.

Let the Big Scary Show Episode 341 keep you entertained and informed as you work on

your builds and make those building inspectors happy. (Remember, safety is sexy) After

We also reminisce about MHC’s of the past. This is one of the best conventions out

there and a great way to fire up your actors and get them prepared for the upcoming

season. Get registered now or you’ll be kicking yourself if you miss it.

look out for them. It could be your last chance to see your favorite haunt before the Fall.

In the meantime, we sent Badger to the East Coast Haunters Convention in

Philadelphia a couple weeks ago and he’s returned with a LOT of interviews and

coverage from their sophomore event. If you missed it, you’ll feel like you’re there. If you

want to attend next year, they’ve already announced the dates for 2026. Visit the ECHC

website for that information and plan to be there next year.

Haunt Minute. Meathook Jim is talking to Julie Ibarra from the Haunted Hydro, on Between the Corpses,

The Roundtable of Terror tackles a rather difficult subject…abuse in the haunt

workplace, and not just from customers. There's a documentary coming out this October

that discusses untold behind-the-scenes stories in the haunted house industry. We sit down

with the filmmaker to find out why there was a need for a documentary like this. But

thankfully it's not all disturbing, there are also positive stories of what makes this industry so

special from those who work in it. However, there may be some subject matter that could be

difficult for some to hear. Consider yourself warned.

safety. As a haunted attraction owner, are you up to date on the latest safety features

about safety, fire, and CHAOS training to discuss keeping your haunts safe and to make

On Friday the 13th of April, 2012, the Big Scary Show debuted its first episode and the world of Halloween, Haunted Houses, and Horror has never been the same. Who could have guessed that 13 years later the (g)hosts would still be cranking out the latest news, information, music, convention coverage, interviews, rants, and so much more?

We’ve traveled thousands of miles, attended many many conventions and tradeshows, visited some of the greatest haunted attractions in the country, and have had a blast doing it. And don’t worry, we have no intentions of slowing down. In fact, we’re just getting started and Episode 338 is here to prove it.

Storm is ranting about Dire Wolves in a Haunt Minute. Meathook Jim is talking to Nikki Hook from the Ohio Haunters Association in Between the Corpses, Badger brings you the latest in Deadline News.

Shockingly, the Roundtable of Terror is all about the Big Scary Show being up and running for 13 years. We call in some old friends of the show to discuss all things relating to the show and the haunt industry in general. We promise it doesn’t turn into a big praise fest, rather we explore some interesting topics and possibly go down some interesting rabbit holes. This is one Roundtable you don’t want to miss.

Spring has sprung, and the Big Scary Show (g)hosts are excited. It’s time to clean out

those crypts, throw out those old body parts, and start making plans for warmer

weather. After all, it’s one more season closer to Fall. We start to wind down our

extensive coverage of Transworld by airing the remaining interviews Badger and the Old

Crone got in St Louis. There are interviews with even more vendors and attendees who

all agree that Transworld 2025 was one for the ages. Even though we’ve hardly

managed to rest up, we notice that there seems to be some sort of spooky rumblings to

the east, perhaps from southeastern Pennsylvania. Could that be…is it…oh my…the

East Coast Haunters Convention is less than a month away. There’s no time to unpack,

we need to get ready to hit the road to the City of Brotherly Love.

Storm is under the weather so we’re bringing you a ‘best of’ Haunt Minute. Meathook

happening at the end of April in Philadelphia. We invite Kris Zahrobsky from Transworld

to have a seat and discuss all things East Coast, from the pre-show tour, to vendors, to

classes and seminars, and more. Make no mistake, this show is going to be HUGE and

if you were on the fence about attending, this conversation should make you rush to

their website and register. It’s going to be an EPIC event.

If you’re feeling the need to hibernate or crawl under some blankets for a couple months, why not let the Big Scary Show episode 332 keep you company while they entertain, inform, and keep you up to date. So grab yourself a hot beverage, grab your ear buds, and let’s wait out the cold weather together.

The Big Scary Show!

On Friday the 13th of April, 2012, the Big Scary Show debuted its first episode and the

world of Halloween, Haunted Houses, and Horror has never been the same. Who could

have guessed that 13 years later the (g)hosts would still be cranking out the latest

news, information, music, convention coverage, interviews, rants, and so much more?

We’ve traveled thousands of miles, attended many many conventions and tradeshows,

visited some of the greatest haunted attractions in the country, and have had a blast

doing it. And don’t worry, we have no intentions of slowing down. In fact, we’re just

getting started and Episode 338 is here to prove it.

Storm is ranting about Dire Wolves in a Haunt Minute. Meathook Jim is talking to Nikki

Hook from the Ohio Haunters Association in Between the Corpses, Badger brings you

some spooky tunes, (courtesy of Jerry Vayne), to celebrate our anniversary.

Shockingly, the Roundtable of Terror is all about the Big Scary Show being up and

running for 13 years. We call in some old friends of the show to discuss all things

relating to the show and the haunt industry in general. We promise it doesn’t turn into a

big praise fest, rather we explore some interesting topics and possibly go down some

interesting rabbit holes. This is one Roundtable you don’t want to miss.
