  • Spooky & Ghoulish

    This is perhaps a podcast that’s well on its way to be an industry leader. The variety of coverage, the depth of the interviews, the high profile guest speakers, the informative nature, & how the show pushes the haunt industry forward make it well worth the time to listen.

    This isn’t someone who doesn’t know haunts talking to regular haunt enthusiasts, Baker is someone who knows his stuff & he gets people on the show that know their stuff.

    Keep being spooky, friend!

  • Great Episode!!

    Hey Baker!! I love what you have done to the house. My parents collected antiques growing up. It’s really cool how you incorporate the old with the new. Isn’t it crazy how there are so many ways to communicate, and it’s still hard to find all the local haunts and Halloween creators. I definitely need to go to E-Town to see her trail. She’s been right around the corner and I never knew it. If you are ever in Louisville hitting the haunts, give me a shout, and I’ll show you around. We have a decen... more

SCARE ON STUART HOME HAUNT: INTERVIEW W/ DAN & AMANDA ERCK - IWHG
Q: What role do volunteers and professionals play in the build and operations?
Volunteers handle much of the core build and detail work, while a core duo coordinates theme, logistics, and safety; experienced tradespeople and local performers fill key roles, with signups and a structured line-management system.
SCARE ON STUART HOME HAUNT: INTERVIEW W/ DAN & AMANDA ERCK - IWHG
Q: How do you manage safety, permits, and the town's expectations as you grow?
They built better communication with city officials, implemented liability measures, and now have a clear plan for permits, street closures, and insurance, which helps avoid run-ins with inspectors and keeps the haunt operating smoothly.
SCARE ON STUART HOME HAUNT: INTERVIEW W/ DAN & AMANDA ERCK - IWHG
Q: When did you start Scare on Stuart, and how has the scale evolved since that first year?
They started during the late 2010s with smaller setups and gradually expanded into multi-night operations with significant props like a roof pirate ship and water-based effects, driven by community involvement and the desire to create a bigger, more immersive experience.
