Have you always wondered what it takes to run a successful Outdoor Haunted Attraction? Through the snow, rainy days,competing with larger Haunted Houses, and still make enough progress to open up the next year?

In this episode of HaunTopic Radio, we have permission from The Haunter’s Hangout (Live Hangouts on YouTube) to rebroadcast their entire interview with Eric Lowther from The Haunted Overload! Eric opens up about the troubles he has had over the years keeping his Haunt open. He gives some sound advice you need to know about keeping your Haunted Attraction successful. And Eric lets you in on the new massive wood sculpture he is working on….

The crew from The Haunter’s Hangout and guest Haunters all get together on Thursday evenings to chat about all things Halloween, Haunted Houses, and Home/Yard Haunts. Most hangouts are 2 hours long. I tried editing it down to less than 2 hours but the humor and information in this audio is priceless! You can watch this video on YouTube by clicking here.

Haunted Overload: No Halloween or Haunt Project is Too Big for Eric Lowther

In Episode 24 of HaunTopic Radio, we finally get Eric Lowther on the phone from Haunted Overload to get some advice on the steps from Home Haunting to Haunt Owner and How To Grow Your Haunt Business the Smart Way. Haunted Overload is an outdoor Haunted Attraction located in Lee, New Hampshire that Eric built & moved twice due to expansion and some business evolutions. You can find 30′ large scary creations made from telephone poles, foam, and recycled materials. If you can imagine a tall ghastly beast lurking in the forest- you will probably find it at the Haunted Overload.

Haunted Overload: Before and After Videos

I have gathered together some videos and articles about Eric Lowther from Haunted Overload located in New Hampshire. Have you seen his GIANT creations he builds from telephone poles? Amazing! I’ll try to give you some video and pictures to help you visualize these monstrous creatures. If you have time, you really need to view All the links in this article to get a true feeling of the journey Eric and his team have taken.

I ran into Eric on the Hauntworld Forums and I was amazed at his story. Home Haunter turned Pro. Makes his own telephone pole creatures. Likes to hang out in the woods. Easy going guy with Haunting somersaulting in his mind like a possessed gymnast. What wasn’t there to like about him.

Unfortunately, I submitted my interview questions too late in the Haunting game and wasn’t able to get Eric in text; but I’m starting to get into recording interviews on audio so maybe I’ll get him over on Skype soon. Would you want to listen to an interview podcast or mp3 on the website or iTunes?

Here are my favorite videos and interviews about Haunted Overload:

How Eric Went From Home Haunter To Pro! – I could not get this video embedded in my site- but you gotta watch this one. It’s a google video and it is an interview with Eric 4 years ago when he was a Home Haunter. Watch this one first.
