Halloweenies: A Horror Franchise Podcast

Often described as Walt Disney meets Stephen King, David Bertolino transformed the Horror industry in the '90s with Spooky World. The Berlin, Massachusetts theme park was the Halloween Horror Nights before Halloween Horror Nights, a national sensation that turned Halloween into a tourist destination for ghouls of all ages. His incredible story is the subject of Spooktacular!, a killer new documentary streaming on Amazon and Shudder via Quiver Distribution. Recently, David joined the show to talk with executive producer Michael Roffman, and you can hear their spirited chat now. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
