    BIG SCARY SHOW - Episode 310 - Oddities and Curiosities Expo

    Episode 310
    Transworld is finally here. By the time you tune into Episode 310, the Big Scary Show will be in St Louis for the biggest trade show of the year. Badger, The Old Crone, and Wicked Wendy will all be vending, walking the floor, and talking to everyone they can. However, before we hit the road to St Louis, Badger spent a weekend at the Oddities and Curiosities Expo in Charlotte, and talked to several odd and curious vendors.. If you get a chance, be sure to visit one of the O&C Expos if they come to a town near you.
    Storm is ranting about Leap Day and trailers in a Haunt Minute. Meathook Jim discusses Death Row in Asia in Between the Corpses. Badger reads the latest in Deadline news. The Old Crone talks about selecting a realtor to help find a location for your haunt. We have a brand new Gruesome Giveaway for the month of March. And finally, we’re spinning some spooky tunes to put you in the mood for Transworld.
    Since everyone is in St Louis, The Roundtable of Terror decided to forego having any guests as most everyone is busy making their final preparations. Because of that, we’ve brought back our soon-to-be-famous game show, the 13 Questions of Doom. Storm is in charge this week as he doles out the questions, judges the answers from the (g)hosts, and awards points accordingly. Will there be a new champion crowned in this show? Stay tuned to find out. All this, and so much more.
    We hid the body, but you’ll become an accomplice just by listening to........the BIG SCARY SHOW. (And please visit us at booth 2136)
