Haunt Weekly - Episode 439 - The Imprtance of Home Haunters
The haunted attraction industry is bizarre. In many ways, it more closely resembles a sport than an industry, partly because of the importance of amateur/home/charity haunters for sustained growth.
That said, a few professional haunters still look down on the home haunt crowd. So, we will talk about why home haunters are important to the industry and how pro haunters can help their home haunt community flourish.
This Week's Episode Includes:
1: Intro
2. Work We Did for the Haunt
3. Question of the Week
4. Intro to the Topic
5. Seven Reasons Home Haunters Are Important
6. How Pro Haunters Can Help Home Haunters
7. Conclusions

Haunt Weekly - Episode 438 - Shadowcasts
This week on Haunt Weekly, we're talking about shadowcasts, including what they are, why you should check them out and what haunters can learn from them.
For those who don't know, shadowcasts are when performers pantomime the film while it is being screened. Most commonly associated with Rocky Horror, many other films have been getting the shadowcast treatment, including Repo the Genetic Opera, The Room, Dr. Horrible and more.
So sit down, or rather stand up, as we discuss the art of shadowcasting.
This Week's Episode Includes:
1. Intro
2. Our Big News
3. Question of the Week
4. Conference Reminders
5. What Are Shadowcasts?
6. What Can Haunters Learn From Them?
