Join Moderator Vanessa Decker aka "Horror Vixen" as she interviews director/producer Jon Schnitzer, legendary scare actor Shar Mayer and boo-scare maze designer Donald Julson as they discuss the innovations and the controversy within the world of haunting as well as the sacrifice it takes to create a horror attraction. They will also explore the future of the industry and the psychological impact of the entire spectrum of haunts from interactive theater to VR to boo-scare and extreme.
"HAUNTERS: The Art Of The Scare" is a documentary about how haunted houses for Halloween have spawned a sub-culture of extreme "full contact" terror experiences. After its premiere on Netflix, discussions and debates have sprung up all over the internet about the safe word, simulation versus torture and the future of haunting.
Join in on this discussion and find out what these Halloween visionaries have been working on for Halloween 2018! Panel will be held April 7th, during Halloween Club's 6th Annual Spook Show, inside the Halloween Club warehouse at 2pm. First come, first served.
