Jon Cooke

In this week’s Working the Fright Shift, we welcome legendary haunt visionary Jon Cooke as our featured Fear Architect—a creative force behind Plague Productions and a driving influence in the evolution of immersive horror. Known for crafting bone-chilling experiences that blend theatrical storytelling with visceral scares, Jon shares his journey from scare actor to industry trailblazer. In our Horror Blueprint segment, we dissect the psychology of fear and explore the emotional architecture behind unforgettable frights. Then, in Echoes of the Past, we unearth the haunted history of scare attractions and reflect on how those eerie echoes shaped my own creative path. Tune in… if you dare.
