Podcast co-hosts Matt Nausid & Mike Napoletano sit down to recap their respective 2023 Halloween seasons. Mike interviews the entire cast of Voodoo on Vassar after one final time on Vassar.

Mike gets to chat with Toby Wrolson (Haunt 31) & Chad Stechly (Fear of the Dark) to talk about their respective displays.

Chad is taking inspiration from Voodoo on Vassar, but putting his own twist on things to continue to change his theme every year. Mike also gives the hours & dates of Voodoo on Vassar & recaps a behind-the-scenes look at HellsGate Haunted House!

This month, Mike had the pleasure of sitting down with Erik Martin, owner of Spirits on Sproat in Oak Lawn. They discussed their South-side origins & classic horror that developed their early love for Halloween which would in-turn lead to Erik creating Spirits on Sproat: The Gallery of the Dead. Erik's "wax museum" of classic-to-new-aged horror villains is something you won't want to leave off your destination lists this October!

Matt Nausid brings to you another Haunters' Hack. This time, he reminds everyone to have their tool-kit ready to go when the decorating season starts. Also included is some information about a Fall pumpkin train ride experience, plus: your last chance to see Evil Intentions, & Shattered 3D at Basement of the Dead.

Mike also had the pleasure of speaking with two members of the newest haunted attraction to hit the Chicagoland scene: Terror Roulette! Creative Director Scott Swenson & Producer Jeffrey Holmes introduce their vast & never-ending haunting backgrounds & experiences, as-well-as give insight to fellow haunters as they bring their revolutionary scare tactics to the unsuspecting Barrington Arboretum. Listen closely, because these two energetic personalities are bringing listeners a special discount code as well! Be sure to roll the dice on that deal!

It's almost that time everyone! Happy Haunting!
