Big Scary Show – Episode 268 – Texas Haunters Convention/Cross Promotion

Episode 268

Yes, we know it’s hot out there, but it’s finally August and that means there’s only one more month until September which starts the haunt season for many of us. So bear with it just a little while longer and may we suggest grabbing a cold beverage and tuning into Episode 268 of the Big Scary Show to get you in the mood for Fall.

Storm is ranting about Halloween disasters in a Haunt Minute, Meathook Jim discusses burning as a form of torture in Between the Corpses, and Badger brings you the latest in Deadline News. The Old Crone headed down to the Texas Haunters Convention a couple weeks ago and brought back some interviews with Matthew from the Texas Haunters Convention, The Chamber of Haunters, and more.

The Roundtable of Terror discusses how haunts can cross-promote and work together. We invite representatives from Louisville Halloween and the Ohio Haunters Association to take a seat at the table to discuss how everyone benefits when there’s no feuding between haunts. Save the feuds for professional wrestling.
