Summary
In the premiere episode of Behind the Haunt, the interviewer becomes the interviewee as host and Dent Schoolhouse co-owner Bud Stross takes the hot seat. Bud shares his background, his journey into the haunted-attraction industry, and the story of how The Dent Schoolhouse became such an important part of his life. The conversation explores Dent’s history, its evolution, the people behind the screams, and what it means to celebrate 30 seasons of Cincinnati’s Halloween tradition. Stay through the end for an original cinematic audio tale—and the first chilling tease of a mysterious new character coming to the schoolhouse. He may promise you the moon and a pocket of maybes…but if you see his shadow, it may already be too late.
