And just like that, Transworld 2026 is in the books. From the moment the doors opened,

Badger and the Old Crone were busy interviewing vendors, HAA members, and more to

get all the latest info on this year’s new products. Hopefully everyone has made it home

safe and sound and recovered from all the shenanigans. And if you weren’t fortunate

enough to make it to St Louis, you’ll feel like you’re there by listening to Episode 364 of

the Big Scary Show. We have a LOT of interviews coming up from some well-known

and maybe not-so-well known vendors. There’s so much content that this is only part

one, so stay tuned to our next show as well.

Storm is ranting in a Haunt Minute. Meathook Jim is prepping for a new Between the Corpses, tune in next show .

Badger brings you the latest in Deadline News, and the Old Crone has a special

interview with Allen Hopps. The Gruesome Giveaway is back for April so listen carefully

for your chance to win. Finally, we’re spinning some spooky tunes courtesy of Midnight

Syndicate as you recover from possible post-Transworld depression.

The Roundtable of Terror is taking a break this episode to make sure we can fit most

(but not all) of our Transworld coverage in this show. Stay tuned to Transworld

coverage, part II on our next episode as we also celebrate our 14th anniversary with a

roundtable featuring some close friends.

We hid the body, but you’ll become an accomplice just by listening to……..the BIG

SCARY SHOW Episode 363. (And a big ‘thank you’ to the Transworld staff for all their

hard work)

Episode 363

This episode of the Big Scary Show will be dropping while Transworld is in full swing.

Badger and the Old Crone are in St Louis at the largest tradeshow of the year gathering

all the latest information and interviews from some of the world’s best prop makers,

animatronic creators, costumers, makeup artists, static prop makers, mask-makers, and

so much more. The next couple of episodes will be chock full of interviews, shoutouts,

and more. But for now, Episode 363 will be bringing you all the latest news, information,

and music as we wait to hear back from our (g)hosts attending the show.

Storm is ranting in a Haunt Minute. Meathook Jim is still on a brief hiatus from the show

to work on some secret stuff. Badger brings you the latest in Deadline News, and the

Old Crone discusses the differences between a business plan and a business proposal.

Finally, we’re spinning some rockin’ tunes as you head home from Transworld.

The Roundtable of Terror sits down with the man, the myth, the legend, David Bertolino

to discuss his latest book, “Behind the Screams at Spookyworld.” We discuss his recent

documentary ‘Spooktacular,’ his career, his game-changing haunted attraction, the

Lifetime Achievement Awards that he’s been handing out to Horror movie celebrities,

and more. It’s a fascinating conversation with a fascinating person and you will NOT

want to miss this conversation. 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 363. (And safe travels to those returning home from

Transworld)

By the time you hear this, we will be less than 2 weeks until Transworld, the biggest

Halloween tradeshow of the year, as it descends upon St Louis, Missouri. Thousands of

haunters from all corners of the earth will be selling, buying, taking classes, networking,

socializing, and many other things. If you’re attending the show, please visit the Big

Scary Show at booth 2934 (or find us lurking around the show floor) as the Old Crone

and Badger conduct interviews, record shoutouts, and register haunters for our Box of

Mystery Giveaway. Whether you’re starting to pack, finalizing your travel plans, or still in

full panic mode, let the Big Scary Show Episode 362 calm you down, inform and

entertain you.

Storm is ranting in a Haunt Minute. Meathook Jim is still on a brief hiatus from the show

to work on some secret stuff. Badger brings you the latest in Deadline News, and the

Old Crone discusses the dangers of ‘going big or going home’. Vysther is back with a

segment he simply calls ‘Blackmore.’ There’s no Gruesome Giveaway this month as

we’re giving away an incredible prize box at Transworld, and finally, we’re spinning

some spooky tunes to get you in the mood as Transworld draws ever closer.

The Roundtable of Terror invites three members of the Haunted Attraction Association’s

Board of Directors to have a seat and discuss what the HAA is doing at Transworld and

beyond. From the State of the Industry Address, to the HAA Live Auction (which has

moved back to its regular Friday afternoon time). From the O-Scares Awards to CHAOS

Safety Training, The Haunted Attraction Association has a HUGE presence at

Transworld and they invite you to come by their booth (2031) to get more information

and to find out why YOU should join. 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 362. (Hope you’re packing some comfortable shoes.)
