Every October, millions of people willingly pay strangers dressed and monsters and demons to chase them through dark buildings. But how did haunted houses go from simple parlor tricks to massive attractions designed to push our fear response to the breaking point?

In Part One of EXTREME HAUNTED HOUSES, Chris and Ed trace the strange history of the fear business - from the ghostly illusions of 18th-century phantasmagoria and the homemade haunts of the Great Depression to amusement park dark rides, Disney’s Haunted Mansion, Halloween Horror Nights, and the horrifying real-life tragedy that changed the haunted attraction industry forever.

Welcome to the fear business. We're just getting started.
