    BIG SCARY SHOW - Episode 378 - IT'S A GEN X HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR!

    Halloween is nearly upon us and the (g)hosts are brimming with excitement at the prospects of decorating, dressing in costume, and anxiously awaiting trick-or-treaters. This truly is the greatest time of the year and everyone we know is super excited. One way you can celebrate the season is by tuning into the Big Scary Show Episode 378 and making us a part of your Halloween preparations. Storm is ranting about preteens at haunts in a Haunt Minute. Meathook Jim is bringing a new short horror story to Between the Corpses. Badger brings you the latest in Deadline News. And the Old Crone is talking about her first Halloween as a non-haunt owner. Do we have a Gruesome Giveaway for October? Stay tuned to find out. Finally, we’re spinning some Halloween-themed tunes to celebrate the greatest of holidays. As we celebrate Halloween 2026, the Roundtable of Terror sets the way-back machine to a few decades ago when Gen X’ers prowled the streets on October 31st. We invite a pair of Gen-X influencers to join our Gen-X (g)hosts to reminisce about how our generation used to celebrate the holiday. It’s a trip down memory lane as we fondly remember highly flammable costumes, plastic masks that could literally suffocate you, and did anyone ever actually find a razor blade in their Chunky Candy Bar? If you Gen-Z and Gen Alphas don’t believe the tales your parents tell you about how they did Halloween, then you need to tune in and listen. All this and so much more. We hid the body, but you’ll become an accomplice just by listening to……..the BIG SCARY SHOW Episode 378. (And HAPPY HALLOWEEN!)

(The percentage might surprise you) If you like numbers, statistics, charts and graphs, this is a great Roundtable to tune into. All this and so much more.

    BIG SCARY SHOW - Episode 375 - IT’S SPOOKY SEASON!!

    Welcome to September and haunted houses are already opening up. Badger of course has already visited a couple but the rest of the (g)hosts are giddy with anticipation of cooler temperatures, leaves changing, visiting pumpkin patches, and of course, haunted houses. We’re pretty much in full Halloween mode at this point and are breaking out the seasonal decorations even though it’s still pretty hot outside. We simply couldn’t wait. So in the meantime; sit back, grab your headphones, and enjoy the Big Scary Show Episode 375 as we celebrate the return of haunted attractions opening their doors to unsuspecting victims. Storm is ranting about Dolly Parton and corn mazes in a Haunt Minute. Meathook Jim is bringing a new short horror story to Between the Corpses. Badger brings you the latest in Deadline News. And the Old Crone brings you information about Stay4Halloween, a new and very important project we are excited to be a part of.

Finally, we’re spinning some rockin' tunes to celebrate the return of Spooky Season 2026. The Roundtable of Terror brings Dave Ferrier of Fearschool.com to have a seat and discuss the results of a survey he sent out to haunt actors, management, and others over the summer. The results were somewhat surprising, and led us into discussions of actor safety, training, and some darker issues which most people simply chalk off to ‘well, that’s just haunt life’. It’s a fascinating discussion that you need to hear, especially if you work for, or own a haunted attraction. All this and so much more.
