Summary
In episode four of Behind the Haunt, Bud sits down with former Dent Schoolhouse actor Dan Leopold—the man behind the unforgettable Fatso the Clown. Dan traces his haunting roots back to the charity attraction Dungeons of Delhi before sharing how he eventually found his way to The Dent Schoolhouse. For more than a decade, he brought Fatso to life, developing the clown’s distinctive personality, appearance, voice, and twisted sense of humor along the way. The conversation explores how Dan discovered the character, how Fatso evolved through years of performances, and what it takes to make a haunt character truly your own. Dan also opens the door to plenty of funny, frightening, and unforgettable stories from his many nights roaming the halls of Dent.
