  • Hauntcast Halloween Podcast

    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

    Vendor discounts and other benefits for Hauntcast Subscribers!!!!

    I am not sure if anyone is following our efforts to bring Hauntcast back. If your not, the deal for subscribers is getting sweeter by the day. Today Chris announced that Juneau Studios is raffling off his Lizzy Borden Mirror to subscribers of Hauntcast. It’s a $2500 value. The mirror measures 2 feet tall by 15 inches wide. 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/

          Podcast

          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!

              I listen to podcasts while building props. It's like you are in a room with a bunch of fellow prop builders cracking jokes and drinking beers. Hauntcast is not only hilariously funny but also has deep insight shared by Revenant's Theater of the Mind who talks about the why's of haunting elements which is kind of like a psychology class in haunting. Chris (the host) and Johnny reviews the latest horror flicks while trading one liners to each other (you will be spitting out your beer), LOL! Shelly spends her time talking about the nostalgia of Halloween, there's a prop segment soon to be featuring Allen Hopps along with DenHaunt. Grimlock drops dark internet links relating to Halloween in Access Hollyween. Ed Gannon talks about aspects in professional haunting in Something Wicked. Also Revenant lets everyone know about the latest news in haunting.

              It had a three year run and closed it's doors last Halloween. Us fans are dragging it out of the grave to be resurrected with a fan-based movement that so far has been successful but still needs additional subscribers. What's been amazing is how many vendors have stepped in offering discounts and prizes to help negate the cost of subscribing. It's a win, win, win! There needs to be 250 subscribers by March 8th or it'll be gone forever.

                We are quickly approaching the deadline to subscribe. We are currently at 133 subscribers! There are only 12 days left to subscribe. Once we get 17 more subscribers then Chris will be raffling off 3 more Juneau Studios DVDs to celebrate hitting the 150 subscriber mark but you gotta be on board to be eligible for that drawing.

                Here is a new Hauntcast update video posted last night on YouTube:

                  The Hauntcast Resurrection effort had a good day yesterday and hit 140 subscribers. Ten more subscriptions and Chris will raffle off 3 more Juneau Studios DVDs and a set of Hellmouth Haunted House Shot Glasses. Instead of DVDS for the 200 subscriber raffle, Juneau Studios is kindly offering their Fuse Box prop the retails for $350.

                    Hauntcast Resur-erection

                    I had been sitting on the fence for awhile, not sure how things would pan out. After talking to Chris on the phone, he reassured me that he and his team were 100% on board with bringing back the industry's best podcast. I stepped up to the plate and subscribed because Hauntcast offers both home and pro haunters great tips and insights into haunting, awesome discounts on haunting supplies, and LMFAO tomfoolery you can't find anywhere else in this industry.

                    If you've never listened to Hauntcast, take a minute to download and listen to the last episode at http://hauntcast.net/wp-content/uplo...untcast_32.mp3

                    Please consider subscribing. You will have a fun time listening to this program and get your money back in all of the savings available, not to mention the prizes that will be given out during the year.
