This week, we sit down with Eric Striffler (Pretty Much It, Existence Media) to discuss haunted attractions in the Halloween season. We learn about his personal experiences running his own attraction and how it developed over the years into something truly special and innovative. As we all continue to adapt to a "new normal" we discuss what attractions we hope to see adapt in their own way for a safe audience experience. We are also joined later in the episode by former scare actress Carmella Losi. She recounts some of her encounters in the field and how they impacted her desire to return to the business. This episode was an absolute blast to record, and we give our sincere thanks to Eric and Carmella for joining us! Support PRETTY MUCH IT at the links below!

This week, we're joined by Actress and horror expert, Marni Stone. She joins us via zoom from her home in California.

We had such a wonderful time talking with Marni and we learned so much about this amazing decade in horror history. We hope you enjoy!

Join us as we dig into some trivia behind the film's gruesome kills, what we loved/didn't quite love, and whether or not we felt this film needed a sequel. Enjoy!
