Big Scary Show – Episode 59 – Spooky Music

Episode 59

Haunt Music in many styles creeps up behind you in this 3 way grudgematch.  It’s “Psychobilly” vs. “Haunted Heavy Metal” vs. “The Ethermuse”.  Badger gets up in the face of the Recently Deceased, Transylvania Transport Co. The Skeleton Beats, and the Creepazoids, as he made his way thru all the pin up girls at the Heavy Rebel Weekender.

3 of the  (g) hosts sit down with musicians Virgil Franklin. Scary Larry, and our own Haunt-stramentalist, Jerry Vayne, and discuss various styles of haunt music and how they can be applied in a haunt, from ambient to pulse pounding. Since music play a vital role in the overall feeling of a scene or room, this is a don’t miss roundtable.

Beware of random Tater-isms!!

Badger brings us up to date with the latest Deadline News,  Storm Rants on, in a Haunt Minute, and I think someone misplaced his record before Face Your Fears, and finally Jerry is doing double duty and spinning horror related tunes

Episode 51 – Transworld 2014

It’s Transworld 2014, and this show was too big for a Roundtable of Terror, but Face Your Fears!, it will be back in Episode 52.  Badger was MIA so the Unknown Scare-Actor took over the booth and interview duties (with a little help from his Lady of Darkness and a couple of friends)  The Insane Shane Party was off the hook and while everyone was partying, the Tater News Network was conducted in only the way Tater can, including talking to a slightly inebriated USA.

The show floor was jumping all weekend long, and we bring you interviews with the Spook Meister himself, as he talks to the USA about the upcoming Midwest Haunters Convention and what to expect in Columbus.  our good friends RJ Haddy and Ed Douglas take the time to chat, and we find out about author Roger Hayes and his new book for home haunters.  Froggys Fog talks about a brand new product that you can eat (yes, you read that correctly), and The USA chats with the creative minds behind Immortal Masks , and gets guest reactions right after they walked through The Darkness

Badger brings us Deadline News, Storm rants on in a Haunt Minute, Jerry Vayne pays homage to the late Oderus Urungus.

A new Gruesome Giveaway is upon us, and the answer is somewhere inside the show.

Big Scary Show – Episode 50! – Haunt Widows

The Unknown Scare Actor is manning booth 840 (when he’s not lurking in the shadows), so if you have the courage, go up to the booth and say “Hi.” We can’t guarantee you’ll survive, but if you’re lucky, you just might get away with recording a shout-out for the show.

Speaking of conventions, Badger, Storm, and the USA are talking to Michael Bruner of the National Haunters Convention (May 2-4th) in Oaks, PA. They discuss all things NHC and go into a discussion about home haunting. Is it time for home haunters to let their voices be heard? Listen in and see.

Make no mistake about it, Tina Bariteau, Susan Bruner, Shannon Hopps, and Angie Norman put in just as much, (if not more), effort into making their haunts and haunt events successful. They may even have an embarrassing story or two to tell. You don’t want to miss it. We hid the body, but you will become an accomplice, just by listening to the Big Scary Show.
