Big Scary Show – Episode 259 – Transworld Wrapup Part 1

Transworld 2022 is in the books. Four days of amazing props, lighting, costumes, escape rooms, masks, makeup, Christmas decorations, animatronics, and so much more. Badger, The Old Crone, Wicked Wendy, and Sylvia Vile all descended upon St Louis and talked to so many people that we can’t get it all in one show. There are LOTS of interviews from the show floor by vendors like: Boneyard Productions, Kreepsville 666, MadnessFX, Nick Wolfe, Poison Props, KayCellFX, ToxicFX, When Hinges Creak, Haunt Scheduler, Rich Bianco from Transworld, and more.

Storm is ranting about haunted ventriloquist dolls in a Haunt Minute. Meathook Jim discusses torture and execution methods from ancient Rome. Badger brings you the latest in Deadline News. The Old Crone gives you a ‘best of’ the Oscares awards from Transworld. There’s also a trio of spooky tunes, and we just might have a Gruesome Giveaway winner for the month of March (sponsored by Screamline Studios).

No Roundtable of Terror this show as we have too many interviews, but it will return next episode. All this, and so much more,

Big Scary Show – Episode 150 – HauntCon 2018

Episode 150

Wow, this really should be called the Meathook Jim show, as he was the only (g)host at HauntCon this year, and he brought back a bunch of interviews with Lee George of Ticket Leap, Robert Thomas with Trail of Terror, Corey Hunt with Magic WheelChair(with the addition of Trevor, a recipient of this amazing charity, recorded by Wicked Wendy), David Markland of Midsummer Scream, Nick Wolfe of Evil Twin FX, Alex the Pumpkin Geek, Brian and Darryl of Haunt Topic, Deanna Shaw of Divine Dementia, and of course, HauntCon organizer Leonard Pickel.

This show is so big, there was no time for a Roundtable of Terror, but Meathook brought you an almost hour long interview with Jon Schnitzer, the producer and director of the film, HAUNTERS: the Art of the Scare. This has been a hot topic in the industry lately, and Jon goes into detail about the film, his lover for haunting and hints a possible future media regarding the industry.

Badger is back ( barely) with the latest Deadline News, Storm rants on in a Haunt Minute, The Hauntstrementalist spins us a trio of Wednesday 13 tunes, and Vysther brings us a tribute to Bela Lugosi. Face Your Fears took a hiatus, because frankly, I was tired of talking, and you the listener will probably get tired of hearing me on this show 😉
