Frenemies of the Fright 503 - Chris Alderete

This week in Brett's Man Cave, I was joined by my friend, co-worker, and fellow chainsaw maniac, Chris Alderete. We dove into our shared passion for the scaring business and how it's turned us into playful frenemies — especially when it comes to whose portraits and signatures end up on the infamous "Murder Wall" of art. From friendly competition to inside jokes, it's a rivalry built on mutual respect, love for the craft, and a little bit of bragging rights. We also swapped war stories from our time working at Horror Nights, comparing the bumps, bruises, and battle scars we've collected over the years. From near-misses with overexcited guests to the unforgettable nights spent bringing iconic horror characters to life, we relived the chaos, laughter, and adrenaline that keeps us coming back every season. It was a conversation equal parts spooky, hilarious, and full of respect for the art of the scare.
