## Resource

In episode five of Behind the Haunt, Bud sits down with current queue line actor Alex Dickey to explore his evolution from performing inside the haunt to commanding the crowds as a standout queue line actor. Alex shares his personal path to Dent and breaks down what it takes to step into high-visibility queue line roles, where keeping waiting guests entertained requires a unique mix of presence, adaptability, and sharp focus. The conversation dives deep into character mindset, performance techniques, and the memorable moments he accumulated while interacting with crowds outside the main attraction. Alex also turns back the clock to discuss where his passion for haunting first took root in home haunts, leading into his ongoing tradition of building and running a full home haunt in his own front yard today. The show ends with a fan favorite song that has been heard pumping out of the old radios in the basement of the schoolhouse - "Charlie's Gonna Get Yah."
