    As we continue to hibernate and attempt to stay warm, many of us are dreaming of the day when the weather starts to warm up and we can get working on those haunts. Right now it just seems too darn cold to want to do anything, but fear not, for there are those hardy souls who are hard at work budgeting, planning, designing, and doing behind the scenes work in order to get their haunts ready for this fall. We salute you, hardy souls. Storm is ranting in a Haunt Minute. Meathook Jim is taking a brief hiatus from the show to work on some secret stuff. Badger brings you the latest in Deadline News, and the Old Crone is discussing social media influencing haunt guests with que line actor Joseph Bodkin. We have a new Gruesome Giveaway for February so be sure to listen carefully and enter. And finally, we’re spinning some spooky tunes to chill your blood to match the outdoors. The Roundtable of Terror begins its countdown to Transworld, the biggest Halloween tradeshow of the year, which is happening in just a few short weeks. There’s so much news about the show being released nowadays that sometimes it's hard to keep up. Therefore, we bring in Kris Zahrobsky from Transworld to bring us all up to date and make sense of it all. We cover everything you need to know about Transworld 2026 and why YOU should head to St Louis in March and be a part of all the spooky fun. 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 360. (And go visit a holiday-themed haunt soon.)

    BIG SCARY SHOW - Episode 359 - VALENTINE’S DAY HAUNTS ARE COMING!

    Some people actually like winter. The sight of the falling show triggers some beautiful memories and is peaceful and pleasant to look at. Unfortunately, it’s also cold, blustery, icy, and can cause a lot of headaches trying to get around. So instead of venturing out into the cold, why not throw another log on the fire, pour yourself a hot toddy, and relax to the dulcet tones of The Big Scary Show Episode 259, as we inform and entertain you while we all try to get though the next couple months before the weather turns warmer.

Badger brings you the latest in Deadline News, and the Old Crone is talking about making the most of your winter downtime. Do we have a Gruesome Giveaway for January? Stay tuned. Vysther returns with a tribute to the late Bob Burns and more. And finally, we’re spinning some rockin’ tunes to get the blood flowing to stay warm. The Roundtable of Terror is all about love. Specifically, Valentine’s Day haunted attractions. That big holiday is coming up in just a couple weeks and a lot of haunts are opening their doors to unsuspecting couples, no doubt to seal their doom for all eternity. We bring in several haunt owners to discuss why this is a fun and unorthodox way to celebrate the holiday and why YOU should go visit one. Whether you have a date or not, the monsters inside won’t care if you're single. They just love the taste of human flesh and delight in taking your souls. All this, and so much more.
