Not so very long ago there was a time when there was a thing known as the midnight show. I don’t mean Rocky Horror Picture Show, but the strange entertainment that it was homage to…. The Spook Show experience! A midnight horror feature complete with a live stage show of magic, torture acts and tableaus designed to “Scare the Yell Right Out of You”!

 

It was a simpler time where monsters ghosts and zombies were scary enough as ideas and not computer generated special effects. The craft of arts and performers were enough– or at least enough to sell a ticket.

 

This week we travel to Gibsonton, Florida to visit Magician Roy Huston who worked with the Baker Ghost Shows and produced his own series of spook shows traveling around the country scaring kids who really really deserved it.
