In Episode 37 of HaunTopic Radio we interview Mike ‘Tattoo’ Krausert from Cutting Edge Scenic Design and the Director of the famous Haunted Attraction Spooky World about the Interactive Haunted House that his team builds every year at the Transworld Halloween & Haunt Show. His team is known for their quick set up times & flexibility when working with highly detailed mobile haunts. We also discuss his experience at Spooky World and how he got started designing and building Haunted Attraction all over the U.S. We also find out how he really got his nickname “Tattoo”! It’s not what you think…
The Interactive Haunted House Showcase provides buyers with the opportunity to experience vendor products first-hand in a themed environment.
Working with show vendors, Mike “Tattoo” Krausert and the Cutting Edge Scenic Design creative team have developed 6 different scenes which are designed to highlight the versatility and impact of exhibitor products and services that can be found for purchase on the show floor.
There’s no better way for buyers to fully grasp the impact of exhibitors’ products than by experiencing them in an integrated environment as they are intended to be used.

Your welcome Chris. How is your Home Haunt entry going? Sent you an email and would love to help!

Cheers!
Thank you for putting it together! Many more Home Haunters will get to have other Halloween freaks see their masterpieces in action.
Great podcast! I did not know Transworld did so much stuff. I like the idea of the “INTERACTIVE HAUNT ” . This would show off how a prop/effect/costume would work.
I’m excited to be going this year (as every year) but there are a few new things being added to the show! Thanks for your audio entry Lee.
