Welcome back to another exciting episode of Behind the Whiskers! In this episode, this episode is a must-listen for anyone obsessed with how high-end haunts and immersive worlds are built. We’re joined by Jon Harp, makeup artist and creative director of Haunted Harvest, to break down the science and soul of experiential entertainment.
