Horrorlust Radio Episode #006

In this episode #006 of Horrorlust Radio, I’m joined by the Cik-Boy, Jason Cikalo. Cikalo and I discuss horror in literature and then detail our thoughts and experiences with The CikNis — our garage haunt.

Also in this episode of Horrorlust Radio is another installment of original segments, Serious Celluloid and Hosts & Hotties. In this edition of Serious Celluloid, I recommend a 2010 released entitled The Shrine and then in Hosts & Hotties we pay respect to a Detroit horror icon, Sir Graves Ghastly.

We also discuss our most recent haunted house visits and speculate which attractions we’ll visit to close out the 2014 haunt season. I also answer a listener question regarding crowd control at haunted attractions.

I’m actively seeking sponsors for Horrorlust Radio, if you own or operate a haunted attraction or are otherwise involved or connected to the haunt industry and are interested in such an opportunity you can contact me at the following email address: horrorlust@bluestarproductions.net

HORRORLUST RADIO: EPISODE 006

This episode of Horrorlust Radio does contain explicit content; young ones cover your ears!

SHOW NOTES

Below is a promotional poster for the 2010 film, The Shrine. This is an under-the-radar horror film with a strong plot, solid acting and one unsettling twist — I believe it to be a worthy entry in our Serious Celluloid collection.

In the words of Monty Python, “Run away, run away!”

Detroit mainstay and horror icon, Sir Graves Ghastly, pictured below. The actor who portrayed Sir Graves Ghastly was named Lawson Deming; he passed on April 24, 2007 — just one day after his 94th birthday.

Lawson Deming thrilled a generation of kids as Sir Graves Ghastly.

Horrorlust Radio Episode #003

Wrestler, home haunter and haunted attraction enthusiast Mike Marvel serves as co-host for episode #003 of Horrorlust Radio.

In the third episode of Horrorlust Radio, Mike and I discuss the tradition of home haunting in all its various forms and then dig into the pros and cons of multi-attraction venues.

This episode also features the second installment of Lost to Time, a segment that highlights haunts now departed; you’ll also hear the birth of a new segment, Hosts & Hotties where we pay respect to icons of the industry from horror hosts to scream queens and everybody in between. The luscious Elvira, Mistress of the Dark is our inaugural honoree.

Mike and I also banter about the quality of haunted attractions during the month of September and even delve briefly into the crossover elements of professional wrestling and the haunted attraction industry.
