Spooky World with David Bertolino!
from Icons Of Fright · host Icons Of Fright
Icons Of Fright is celebrating a bit of horror haunt history with this week's special guest David Bertolino, the creator of SPOOKY WORLD, the subject of the documentary SPOOKTACULAR! And now author of the book BEHIND THE SCREAMS AT SPOOKY WORLD! Back in 1991, David had the vision to start America's first "horror" themed park, starting with a haunted hayride and later evolving to mazes designed by legendary FX artist Tom Savini, the first of the celebrity signings with Butch Patrick, Kane Hodder, and Linda Blair. And influenced just about every horror attraction from Universal's Halloween Horror Nights to Knott's Scary Farm and beyond! We dig into all of this and more! Hosted by Rob Galluzzo, Mike Cucinotta, Jason Alvino, and Adam Barnick. Opening theme song is "I Came To Kill" by Late Night Horror Show, written and performed by Clint Carney.BUY THE BOOK!HARDCOVER: https://amzn.to/4uVTexbPAPERBACK: https://amzn.to/42FnLTSEBOOK: https://amzn.to/3PN9Hor
