Hauntcast Halloween Podcast

[southernhaunter]

Hello,

My name is John Cowan. I am a big fan, customer, and creator of Haunt and Halloween. I am a home haunter in South Alabama. I am writing this post today on behalf of the home haunting community and Hauntcast.

You all know firsthand that the Halloween and Haunt Industry is a billion dollar industry and growing. Home haunters are spending more and more money every year. Every year there are more of us too. You have to look no further than the almost 28,000 members on Halloweenforum.com. Hauntforum.com has almost 9000 members and there are many other groups with significant numbers. I believe home haunters are beginning to make up more of the bigger vendors yearly business. It goes without saying we visit haunted houses. Using myself as an example, I can tell you I travel in a several hour radius of my home to visit haunts every year. I am always disappointed that I did not get to see more haunts. I like to see small haunts, large haunts, and everything in between. I also purchase haunt products from vendors of all sizes. I am flying to St. Louis next month to attend Transworld and take some classes. I am not alone, I know many of my counterparts will be at Transworld too.

Are you familiar with the Hauntcast podcast? If not, I encourage you to check it out at hauntcast.net. I am trying as a huge fan and supporter of Hauntcast to bring attention to the monthly podcast. The “scream team” is great. I am reaching out in an effort to get some help supporting Hauntcast. Helping to resurrecting Hauntcast by supporting the show would be a great opportunity to increase your visibility with home haunters and help a great group of haunters further their podcast. We all started somewhere and along the way got a few helping hands. If you haven’t heard of it, check it out. If you like it, tell your friends!

Thanks!

John

Comes with 4 dvds: Blood wrighting, Clown changing portrait, Poltergeist portrait and Lizzy Borden. Each subscriber will get their name thrown into the hat twice doubling your chances to win. The vendor list of discounts for subscribers is growing by the day - check out the benefits here: http://hauntcast.net/subscribe/

Their are thousands of dollars worth of vendor discounts, thousands of dollars in raffle prizes, Hauntcast the Magazine, two shows a month and more. Check out the latest details to "Resurrect Hauncast" at http://hauntcast.net/subscribe/ - There are more new discounts and raffle prizes everyday.

This is going to seem like a stupid question but I'm going to ask anyway? What is the benefit for me to subscribe to this? BESIDES the vendor discounts, what do I get? I have never podcasted before. I was on the site but I still don't know what the deal is. How often, what do they talk about, etc. Sorry. I'm pretty much a techno caveman.

No stupid questions - unfortunately, Hauntcast has yet to heard by many in the community. I would encourage you to listen to some older episodes, you can download or stream them here: http://hauntcast.net/past-shows/ In addition to the discounts and prizes there is one episode of Hauntcast a month, normally it is 2 - 3 hours long. A second new monthly show, Shocktail Hour, an all Horror show featuring movies, TV, comic, books, magazines, collectables, conventions and anything else horror related. A quarterly magazine is also included. I have listened to the show from day one and it is great. I really wish more people knew about it. It has evolved from a show for home haunters to an all around haunt industry show. Allen Hopps from Stiltbeast Studios has signed on to do the prop segments. The prop segments have always been good but I know it is going to be great with Allen. The cost of the subscription is easily worth the raffle and discounts. You can see all the prizes and discounts here: http://hauntcast.net/subscribe/ - The raffle is very cool because you going to be in a drawing for all these great prizes with a few hundred people - not thousands so your odds of winning something great are good!
