The weather is finally heating up and no doubt so are your builds. We’ve passed the

halfway point to Halloween, and many haunters are gearing up for the Midwest

Haunters Convention in Chicago and planning a few Summerween events. Meathook

Jim and Badger have both survived and returned from the Ohio Haunters Convention in

Mansfield and are bringing you lots of interviews from the show floor. It was certainly

one of the creepiest places to ever hold a convention and they’ve already announced

that they're returning in 2027 (so start making your plans).

Storm is ranting in a Haunt Minute. 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 sharing tips on turning those scaredy-cats into haunt fans. Do we have a

Gruesome Giveaway for the month of May? Stay tuned to find out. Finally, we’re

spinning some rockin’ tunes to celebrate the coming of Summerween events.

The Roundtable of Terror discusses an unsung hero of the haunt industry. Foam. Yes,

that lump of material that so many haunters use to build tombstones, props, facades,

and more. Its versatility makes it a favorite among home and professional haunters, but

are you utilizing it to its full potential? We bring in some guests who use foam quite a bit

to find out new ways to dress up your displays, creepify your crypts, and horrify your

haunts. It’s an interesting conversation, so take a listen and you just might find a new

way to turn a humble block of foam into something that scares your customers.

SCARY SHOW Episode 367.

As we celebrate the beginning of May, we officially move past the halfway point to

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.

Fourteen years ago on Friday the 13th of April 2014, the Big Scary Show hit the

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.

Storm is ranting about glowing gnomes in a Haunt Minute. Meathook Jim is back and

bringing a new segment of Between the Corpses featuring short horror stories. Badger

brings you the latest in Deadline News, plus an interview with Eddie from Woods of

Terror. And the Old Crone has a special interview with a couple who are debuting their

new product this year. We’re also featuring the second part of our Transworld coverage

because we had too many interviews to get them all on the last show. Do we have a

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.

The Roundtable of Terror celebrates our 14th anniversary with a laid-back conversation

featuring some close friends. We discuss what it’s like having been out there for 14

continuous years and all the great people we’ve met along our journey. Come relive

some of the memories of the past 14 years.

SCARY SHOW Episode 365. (And if you’re at the East Coast Haunters Convention,

look for Badger lurking about)
