ICON NATION - When we first made a trip out to WickedWorld Scaregrounds (Nicholasville, KY), we didn't know that we'd be meeting our instant haunt family. We had a blast going through their attraction - and a year later, we returned to suit up and join in on the scares! Stopping by for conversation during Transworld week for conversation, are two of our favorite people. Kaitlyn & Cassidy Nevius. Together, they serve as the lead makeup artists at this haunt. Diving into the world of makeup, crazy nights at the haunt, and much more. This is an episode that you don't want to miss! #StayTOXIC

ICON NATION - When it comes to the paranormal, this is a realm of horror that we have not taken a dive into just yet. However, that all changes today, as special guests' ‪@Covenofscreams‬ & ‪@creepyconfidential‬ stop by for conversation about the afterlife. Within this episode, we share laughs, but are also granted the opportunity to learn more about Ghost hunting. What is true ghost hunting? How is it done? Did you know there are different types of spirits and energies? We hop into it all here. #StayTOXIC

ICON NATION! We're coming in with another HEATER for you! This is a special one. It's been a long time coming, but we were finally blessed with the opportunity to film an awesome - HORROR FILLED episode with a spine-chilling debate of "Indie horror vs. Big time horror." Enjoy everyone! #StayTOXIC

ICON NATION! We're coming in with another HEATER for you! This is a special one. It's been a topic that we've always wanted to talk about, and has been on our list since the very beginning of Toxic Icon. Aliens and area 51 have always been an interesting topic to us - especially with it tapping into the fear of the unknown. #StayTOXIC

ICON NATION! We're coming in with another HEATER for you! Ft, our god friend Jessica Wiley, who serves as a local media outlet / reviewer for all things in the St. Louis area, we aimed to have a guest on who has been through our haunted house plenty of times but is in fact not a haunter! We really wanted to lock in the outside perspective of going through an intense haunt, and what that experience is like on the psychological aspect of a haunt customer. In addition, we also pick Jessica's brain about her favorite slasher movies, and what her favorite sub-genre of horror is! Jessica, thank you for doing this with us. Let's run it back again soon. #StayTOXIC
