Becker shares what first inspired him to become a haunt actor, his early roots at the now-retired Dungeons of Delhi charity haunted house, and the path that eventually brought him to Dent. After spending many years frightening guests inside the schoolhouse, he now brings his talents to the Monster Midway, where the scares continue beyond Dent’s doors. The conversation explores his evolution as a performer, memories from years of haunting, and the passion that has kept him coming back season after season. Becker also reveals his unusual secret for soothing a scratchy throat after a long night of screaming: the mysterious concoction known as Sour Soup. Also, we feature an exclusive Dent Schoolhouse music track at the end of this episode that was composed by Rachel Williams to embody the ghoulish trick-or-treaters at the school.","meta_description":"In episode two of Behind the Haunt, Bud sits down with longtime Dent Schoolhouse performer Andy Becker—better known simply as Becker.
