Let’s uhhh… pretend that this says May…It’s been a crazy busy time leading up to Midwest Haunters Convention, but Mike still had some time to sit down with two timely guests! First up, it’s Dalton James Verway (AKA Emily)! Dalton is the recipient of the 2023 Jim Warfield Acting Award & will be reprising his role as Emily at the MHC Friday Night Haunt Tour as Abandoned Haunted House Complex opens its gates mid-summer! Mike also has the pleasure of being joined by Derek Seltzer, who has recently been promoted to General Manager of The Old Joliet Haunted Prison. He may be more professional now, but beware… that may not stop him from still locking people in port-o-potty’s!
