WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.720 Hello and welcome to Good News York or should 00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:07.280 I say Spooky News York? This is it's October. 00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.960 We're getting closer to Halloween. So of course 00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:14.220 it would make complete sense to have kind of 00:00:14.220 --> 00:00:16.980 a Halloween themed episode. We're going to have 00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:19.500 a bunch of Halloween themed episodes, but today 00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:21.859 is extra special. I have a very special guest. 00:00:22.019 --> 00:00:24.000 I am Mike Brindisi. You can follow me on all 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.100 socials at Mike B TV. We are sponsored by ads 00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:30.489 on the go get ads on the go .com. Matt is not 00:00:30.489 --> 00:00:32.649 here this morning because he was too afraid to 00:00:32.649 --> 00:00:36.270 do this interview because he's a wuss. I am joined 00:00:36.270 --> 00:00:39.969 by a very special guest remotely. She is the 00:00:39.969 --> 00:00:44.049 production director for Frightmare Farms in Palermo, 00:00:44.149 --> 00:00:48.530 New York. Nicole Ginsburg is on the show. Good 00:00:48.530 --> 00:00:53.060 morning, Nicole. You look and sound way nicer 00:00:53.060 --> 00:00:55.640 than someone that scares the shit out of people 00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.039 for a living. Thank you very much. I actually 00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:01.280 get that a lot. When I'm lurking around in the 00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:04.219 park, I tell people all the time, I do happen 00:01:04.219 --> 00:01:06.980 to be one of the scariest people here when I'm 00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:08.980 running through lines or doing other stuff because 00:01:08.980 --> 00:01:10.739 people constantly are like, oh my God, you scared 00:01:10.739 --> 00:01:17.540 me. I did my job. That's great. So Frightmare 00:01:17.540 --> 00:01:20.719 Farms. This has been going on since 2012. It's 00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:24.180 in Palermo, New York. kind of northeast of Fulton. 00:01:24.299 --> 00:01:26.959 It's been going on since 2012, 400 attractions, 00:01:27.700 --> 00:01:30.840 200 plus crew members, 40 acres. I mean, this 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.599 is a massive operation. This is not your county 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.780 fair hall of mirrors. Give me a little background 00:01:38.780 --> 00:01:42.459 on you and how this all started and came together. 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.359 For me, myself, I work as a live entertainment 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:48.980 producer. That is now what my full -time job 00:01:48.980 --> 00:01:52.269 is. I get to work all over the country. doing 00:01:52.269 --> 00:01:55.709 live entertainment. And obviously Frightmare 00:01:55.709 --> 00:01:59.189 is live entertainment. How I got here is years 00:01:59.189 --> 00:02:03.750 of performing as myself, right? When I was younger, 00:02:03.969 --> 00:02:06.709 I did a lot of theater, a lot of acting, dance. 00:02:07.370 --> 00:02:11.009 I toured. I had a whole life even before I was 00:02:11.009 --> 00:02:14.969 18 years old, right? I got into haunting very, 00:02:14.969 --> 00:02:19.990 very, very early to raise money. I found that 00:02:19.990 --> 00:02:23.150 my philanthropy side of me started at a young 00:02:23.150 --> 00:02:26.250 age and I learned that haunted houses made, you 00:02:26.250 --> 00:02:29.710 know, great fundraisers. And so I did them for 00:02:29.710 --> 00:02:32.969 a number of places, including my dance studio, 00:02:33.370 --> 00:02:35.669 which still runs a very successful haunted house 00:02:35.669 --> 00:02:40.810 to this day and was able to... kind of get that 00:02:40.810 --> 00:02:44.310 love for it. And so that love obviously has carried 00:02:44.310 --> 00:02:47.110 on. That love is now carrying on through even 00:02:47.110 --> 00:02:53.409 my children, my whole family. And so it got this 00:02:53.409 --> 00:02:55.830 huge, almost like snowball effect and it's just 00:02:55.830 --> 00:02:59.009 continued. And now, like I said, I am lucky enough 00:02:59.009 --> 00:03:01.750 to work at a national level with haunted attractions 00:03:01.750 --> 00:03:06.099 across the country. And yeah. That's how we've 00:03:06.099 --> 00:03:09.219 gotten to this point. And we just, we're gonna 00:03:09.219 --> 00:03:14.080 never stop growing as much as we can. That's 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.699 absolutely amazing. Are you, is this something 00:03:17.699 --> 00:03:19.780 that you were on the ground floor of where they 00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:23.000 purchased the land or is it they hired you as 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:23.699 a producer? I've been here since the beginning. 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:28.900 This has been, we've been building this myself 00:03:28.900 --> 00:03:32.259 and the other ownership. have been building this 00:03:32.259 --> 00:03:34.539 for a long time, right? Like this was something 00:03:34.539 --> 00:03:37.719 we ventured off on kind of on a whim and was 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.319 like, let's just try it. Let's just see what 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:44.240 happens. And you know, since then I've grown 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.620 more in the business. I've obviously learned 00:03:46.620 --> 00:03:49.280 more. You know, there's not a book out there 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.360 about owning a haunted attraction, but you know. 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.780 we're writing it and we're figuring it out and 00:03:54.780 --> 00:03:56.699 having a heck of a lot of fun while we're doing 00:03:56.699 --> 00:04:00.879 it um but yeah no it was it it was not something 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.240 since i was very young going i want to own a 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.800 haunted house someday right it was okay this 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.539 is really cool let's try it let's do it oh this 00:04:08.539 --> 00:04:11.659 is perfect it's seasonal you know but now it 00:04:11.659 --> 00:04:15.580 is all right next week starts 2026 and all of 00:04:15.580 --> 00:04:16.879 the cool things that we're going to be doing 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:21.160 for that and you know so it's it's 365 days a 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.759 year and i do say five because like i said my 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.680 family's involved in it and we even talk about 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:31.500 this at christmas yeah that's so great um you 00:04:31.500 --> 00:04:35.250 know it is a huge process to plan for something 00:04:35.250 --> 00:04:38.379 like this. And I also feel like you know, you 00:04:38.379 --> 00:04:40.259 having a performance background, it kind of, 00:04:40.459 --> 00:04:42.379 you know, not only are you doing something that 00:04:42.379 --> 00:04:45.199 you enjoy, it's making money, but you're also 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.819 kind of scratching that performance edge too, 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.819 am I right? You know, for me, a lot of my creative 00:04:51.819 --> 00:04:55.500 contribution to it is the scenic design and the 00:04:55.500 --> 00:04:57.199 set design and that type of stuff, but it's also 00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.560 the performance design. You know, the scares, 00:04:59.579 --> 00:05:02.220 you know, bringing in new people and teaching 00:05:02.220 --> 00:05:04.879 them how to be a haunt actor, it's much different 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.930 than being a stage actor. You're on constantly, 00:05:08.170 --> 00:05:11.529 right? You're part of the constant show and part 00:05:11.529 --> 00:05:16.790 of the growing and large story. So it is, that's 00:05:16.790 --> 00:05:18.610 one thing that I absolutely love is bringing 00:05:18.610 --> 00:05:22.589 people in that have acting experience. But I 00:05:22.589 --> 00:05:24.449 also really love bringing people in that are 00:05:24.449 --> 00:05:26.769 like, I just want to be scary. I'm like, perfect. 00:05:26.889 --> 00:05:29.170 Guess what? You're about to be an actor. Like, 00:05:29.209 --> 00:05:33.910 you know, let's go. You know, it's funny you 00:05:33.910 --> 00:05:36.819 mentioned that because I was going to ask. I've 00:05:36.819 --> 00:05:41.959 read something here that not only are your actors 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:46.740 award -winning, but it says here, professionally 00:05:46.740 --> 00:05:50.860 trained. And I'm wondering what is that process 00:05:50.860 --> 00:05:52.779 like? Because my mind goes a million places. 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:54.819 I just picture everyone in a line, and you're 00:05:54.819 --> 00:05:57.860 like, now you scream. You give me a gurgle. How 00:05:57.860 --> 00:06:00.579 does it work? We have a very unique training 00:06:00.579 --> 00:06:05.860 process. That's so, yes. One, we have in -house, 00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:09.100 obviously. Two, we have people from all over 00:06:09.100 --> 00:06:11.899 New York state that are part of this and they 00:06:11.899 --> 00:06:15.019 have done everything from acting in movies to 00:06:15.019 --> 00:06:18.560 acting on stage to even like full -length feature 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:22.519 Disney films to being on Broadway. So we've got 00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:26.240 a large range of people that are involved, but 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.620 we also have a lot of people that have directed, 00:06:29.019 --> 00:06:32.610 that have been, you know, taught classes on theater 00:06:32.610 --> 00:06:35.930 and done, you know, their full gambit when it 00:06:35.930 --> 00:06:39.209 comes to performing that have helped us create 00:06:39.209 --> 00:06:43.209 our own unique training sessions. And we do require 00:06:43.209 --> 00:06:46.350 that our actors go through our training process. 00:06:46.569 --> 00:06:50.290 We call it ghoul school. You have to learn exactly 00:06:50.290 --> 00:06:53.709 how to be a character. And then we shape it from 00:06:53.709 --> 00:06:56.610 there to the character that they are as well. 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.100 That is awesome. And that just shows the level 00:07:02.100 --> 00:07:04.399 that you guys are at, right? You know, if this 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:06.480 isn't, hey, everybody dress up and just jump 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.980 out and say, boo, this is a full fledged production, 00:07:10.860 --> 00:07:14.660 live production. We used to, you know, we would 00:07:14.660 --> 00:07:16.540 hire people for the season and we'd grab a few 00:07:16.540 --> 00:07:19.740 extras here and there. We've been hired for our 00:07:19.740 --> 00:07:24.060 season since. like june of this year. A constantly 00:07:24.060 --> 00:07:27.639 reach out and u a lot of people reach out like, 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:31.720 yeah, we're so sorry for the season. Um, but 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.060 d us, you know, if you ever if you ever want 00:07:35.060 --> 00:07:39.560 to work f us in april and may, like we don't 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:43.480 even put out anymore people are coming to us 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:47.660 eve season and are like, hey, I makeup or hey, 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:52.009 I've always And that's one of the biggest things 00:07:52.009 --> 00:07:54.410 is like, as soon as we hear, I've always wanted 00:07:54.410 --> 00:07:57.670 to perfect. We've always wanted to help you do 00:07:57.670 --> 00:08:01.069 that. Right. So we're we're about, you know, 00:08:01.230 --> 00:08:03.629 bringing them in, helping to elevate that and 00:08:03.629 --> 00:08:07.389 helping to educate. On the other side, we we 00:08:07.389 --> 00:08:11.699 spend a lot of. investments into our people. 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:14.519 We do a lot of conferences across the country 00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:17.139 that come with training sessions. We require 00:08:17.139 --> 00:08:19.899 our managers have certain amount of education 00:08:19.899 --> 00:08:22.779 when it comes to safety, when it comes to their 00:08:22.779 --> 00:08:25.379 ability to train and to manage and to lead. We 00:08:25.379 --> 00:08:29.410 also require that our actors take their extra 00:08:29.410 --> 00:08:32.509 steps with their training here internally. And 00:08:32.509 --> 00:08:35.230 then we give opportunities for additional training, 00:08:35.269 --> 00:08:37.389 whether it be that they want to get into cue 00:08:37.389 --> 00:08:40.370 acting or they want to get into certain style 00:08:40.370 --> 00:08:45.509 of scare acting. And we give them those opportunities. 00:08:45.970 --> 00:08:49.350 We also bring them to other shows all over the 00:08:49.350 --> 00:08:53.730 country and let them see what other professional 00:08:53.730 --> 00:08:57.909 attractions they're doing as well. Well, this 00:08:57.909 --> 00:09:01.809 is such an amazing operation and I have so much 00:09:01.809 --> 00:09:04.370 respect for it I mean the work you guys put in 00:09:04.370 --> 00:09:08.070 in the detail speaking of the crew that you're 00:09:08.070 --> 00:09:11.090 talking about Something that caught my eye. It 00:09:11.090 --> 00:09:14.549 says new for 2025 flight mayor farms introduces 00:09:14.549 --> 00:09:17.490 flight Attendance, which by the way, I'm a huge 00:09:17.490 --> 00:09:22.649 sucker for puns. I love that. So you have It's 00:09:22.649 --> 00:09:27.590 the best. So you have these freaky concierge 00:09:27.590 --> 00:09:30.429 crew dressed like flight attendants. But what 00:09:30.429 --> 00:09:33.190 really caught my eye is it says they're ready 00:09:33.190 --> 00:09:35.610 to assist with everything from navigating the 00:09:35.610 --> 00:09:40.049 park and adjusting scare levels. Talk to me about 00:09:40.049 --> 00:09:42.970 scare levels because I am the worst. I would 00:09:42.970 --> 00:09:45.690 need scare level zero because I'm like a skittish 00:09:45.690 --> 00:09:47.490 chihuahua. If someone walks around the corner 00:09:47.490 --> 00:09:51.190 too fast, I scream. What's the scare level? Something 00:09:51.190 --> 00:09:53.190 we started doing years ago is realizing that 00:09:53.190 --> 00:09:56.429 a lot of people want to be around the park. They 00:09:56.429 --> 00:09:58.529 don't want to be truly terrified, right? And 00:09:58.529 --> 00:10:00.710 we can produce scary and we can do scary and 00:10:00.710 --> 00:10:03.570 terrifying really well, but scary and terrifying 00:10:03.570 --> 00:10:07.070 is not always enjoyable, right? So what we realized 00:10:07.070 --> 00:10:09.970 is that we needed to offer something that could 00:10:09.970 --> 00:10:13.759 kind of calibrate that a little bit more. And 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:15.860 we started doing candle scares. They're perfect 00:10:15.860 --> 00:10:18.580 for our younger audience and anybody that's kind 00:10:18.580 --> 00:10:21.259 of faint of heart. They get a small candle and 00:10:21.259 --> 00:10:23.179 that is to indicate that that person does not 00:10:23.179 --> 00:10:25.120 want to be scared. Or if it's at the front of 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.059 the group, that whole group doesn't want to be 00:10:27.059 --> 00:10:29.799 scared. With that said though, there is times 00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:33.259 that even that candle is not holding a candle 00:10:33.259 --> 00:10:37.039 to stopping the scares. So what we do is we bring 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.960 our fright attendance in. to help navigate those 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:42.820 levels of scare. And they will actually go in 00:10:42.820 --> 00:10:47.220 as scare buddies. We really pride ourselves on 00:10:47.220 --> 00:10:50.000 being that first experience for a lot of our 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:53.740 younger audience and feeling safe enough to be 00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:55.720 in that environment, right? Anybody can scare 00:10:55.720 --> 00:11:00.409 a little kid. They can. Is it fun? actually know, 00:11:00.409 --> 00:11:02.450 right? Like why do you want to be part of that 00:11:02.450 --> 00:11:05.570 person's nightmare? Everybody remembers the first 00:11:05.570 --> 00:11:08.470 time they got truly terrified. They also remember 00:11:08.470 --> 00:11:11.049 their very first time that they like truly fell 00:11:11.049 --> 00:11:13.720 in love with Halloween. and I'd rather be associated 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:15.820 with the truly falling in love with Halloween 00:11:15.820 --> 00:11:19.059 than being truly terrified, because usually the 00:11:19.059 --> 00:11:21.440 truly terrified, you can describe where that 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.320 property was, you can describe what that actor 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.600 was, but you can't, you don't know the name, 00:11:25.860 --> 00:11:28.080 you don't know the processes, you know, but I 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.740 can remember my first Halloween experience and 00:11:31.740 --> 00:11:34.029 falling in love with Halloween. I can tell you 00:11:34.029 --> 00:11:35.490 what it looked like. I can tell you exactly where 00:11:35.490 --> 00:11:37.610 it is. I can tell you down to who even owned 00:11:37.610 --> 00:11:41.129 the property because I got that far into it as 00:11:41.129 --> 00:11:45.789 a child, right? So there is a lot more value 00:11:45.789 --> 00:11:49.389 in that, at least in my opinion, than... having 00:11:49.389 --> 00:11:52.450 it be that it's truly terrifying, right? And 00:11:52.450 --> 00:11:55.389 they also, that stems off of our initiative of 00:11:55.389 --> 00:11:59.309 inclusivity. I am a parent with a child with 00:11:59.309 --> 00:12:01.950 autism. And what I learned really early on is 00:12:01.950 --> 00:12:05.669 that the world is not accessible to us as a family 00:12:05.669 --> 00:12:10.970 in many instances. And so we were able to actually 00:12:10.970 --> 00:12:14.250 take and figure out that there are programs that 00:12:14.250 --> 00:12:17.649 will make our property inclusive all the time. 00:12:19.019 --> 00:12:22.679 Yes, the sensory inclusion. That was my next 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:25.080 question. The freight attendants are actually 00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:28.700 an offshoot of that. That is an additional level 00:12:28.700 --> 00:12:31.980 of being inclusive and learning more about what 00:12:31.980 --> 00:12:34.399 we can do from a sensory level and being able 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:37.340 to accommodate at a much, much higher level, 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:39.460 right? So all of our staff is already trained, 00:12:39.500 --> 00:12:42.379 so they fully understand that aspect. Taking 00:12:42.379 --> 00:12:45.000 a portion of that training and being able to 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:49.080 instantly modify the show. has been just something 00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:52.340 for me as a person has been kind of priceless, 00:12:52.539 --> 00:12:55.860 right? Like there's, there is no other way to 00:12:55.860 --> 00:12:59.440 describe that besides being able to give those 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:03.679 memories to families is just, my job is done, 00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:05.899 right? Like as soon as I hear that once in a 00:13:05.899 --> 00:13:07.980 season, I'm like, perfect, hang it up, we're 00:13:07.980 --> 00:13:10.440 good, let's move on to the next season, like. 00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:18.080 What an amazing gesture to do, you know, at this 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:22.860 level, you know, in the haunted attraction world, 00:13:23.379 --> 00:13:27.759 I've never heard of sensory inclusion and it's 00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:29.100 so important. Well, it is because a lot of it, 00:13:29.659 --> 00:13:32.039 you know, a lot of times people talk about like 00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:38.009 their fight or flight gets... it gets activated, 00:13:38.029 --> 00:13:41.149 right? So like they immediately, like that's 00:13:41.149 --> 00:13:43.970 part of it, right? Like that's a sensory response 00:13:43.970 --> 00:13:46.570 when somebody gets into that motion and they're 00:13:46.570 --> 00:13:49.149 like, oh, my fear instinct is to punch, right? 00:13:49.230 --> 00:13:51.509 Well, there's certain things with that, that 00:13:51.509 --> 00:13:53.509 there's a reason for that, right? There's some 00:13:53.509 --> 00:13:55.009 sort of event or something that's happened to 00:13:55.009 --> 00:13:59.129 you that makes you react that way. We actually 00:13:59.129 --> 00:14:01.330 design our show to the best of our ability, knowing 00:14:01.330 --> 00:14:04.669 that people do that and try to help, you know, 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:09.200 avoid that as much as poss said, that happens 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:14.519 to our happens to some of our older it also happens 00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:19.360 to younger had, you know, things happ anxiety, 00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:24.080 trauma, you know, into that. And many times they 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:31.580 even have it until t A lot of individuals that 00:14:31.580 --> 00:14:33.519 have epilepsy can't go to haunted attractions. 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:35.980 We use flashing lights. We use unpredictable 00:14:35.980 --> 00:14:39.259 lighting environments. We've figured that out. 00:14:39.340 --> 00:14:41.500 We worked with a neurologist that started Culture 00:14:41.500 --> 00:14:44.620 City, and we can accommodate that. And once we 00:14:44.620 --> 00:14:46.100 kind of got to that point where we could accommodate 00:14:46.100 --> 00:14:48.039 that, I was like, we can really do anything, 00:14:48.139 --> 00:14:51.840 right? We can individualize this experience without 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:55.659 taking away from others' experience very easily. 00:14:56.460 --> 00:14:58.740 And all we gotta do is have some extra people 00:14:58.740 --> 00:15:02.000 available. that are able to kind of tailor things, 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:04.980 and that's where the Fright Attendants came from. 00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:10.639 Nicole, I am blown away by how thoughtful you 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:15.320 are in all of this. Again, I'm a wuss, so I don't 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:17.620 go to many haunted attractions, but I'm aware 00:15:17.620 --> 00:15:22.169 there are many. Are you guys unique in that? 00:15:22.250 --> 00:15:24.710 Are you the only attraction that you know that 00:15:24.710 --> 00:15:29.429 offers these accommodations, for lack of a better 00:15:29.429 --> 00:15:30.750 term? We are the leader of the industry on this 00:15:30.750 --> 00:15:33.690 side, for sure. So we have been certified center 00:15:33.690 --> 00:15:37.409 -inclusive since 2019. I have actually worked 00:15:37.409 --> 00:15:40.289 with Culture City to work on a number of attractions 00:15:40.289 --> 00:15:44.539 joining us on that front. We're working very 00:15:44.539 --> 00:15:46.379 hard with the Haunted Attraction Association 00:15:46.379 --> 00:15:52.440 to push towards making that a requirement. for 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:54.639 all major haunted attractions, right? Because 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:57.379 it is something that is so easy to do. It is 00:15:57.379 --> 00:16:01.100 very accessible. My crew gets so excited to all 00:16:01.100 --> 00:16:04.039 be trained on it every single year. They get 00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:06.580 to kind of wear that badge of honor with it. 00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:11.580 And yes, I, again, this is my nature is to be 00:16:11.580 --> 00:16:16.100 in hospitality, but also I very much of the mindset 00:16:16.100 --> 00:16:18.620 of I produce all of these things across the country 00:16:18.620 --> 00:16:21.460 for everybody else. I produce at the same level 00:16:21.460 --> 00:16:23.940 for my own children. So that kind of goes hand 00:16:23.940 --> 00:16:27.360 in hand, right? I would modify the world any 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.539 day for my kids. Why can't I just modify the 00:16:30.539 --> 00:16:34.039 world here that we have for anybody's child, 00:16:34.259 --> 00:16:39.860 right? What a beautiful sentiment. That's the 00:16:39.860 --> 00:16:41.799 weak theory answer ever. I know, I know. And 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:43.220 you know what you're talking about, that you're 00:16:43.220 --> 00:16:45.620 scared. Guess what? You can still come on our 00:16:45.620 --> 00:16:49.220 grounds and feel safe. There are zones that just 00:16:49.220 --> 00:16:53.299 hang out for free. and enjoy all of the environment 00:16:53.299 --> 00:16:56.759 because we do not put truly terrifying things 00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.639 out in the midway except when we have chaos activated, 00:17:00.899 --> 00:17:06.059 right? We, yes. Whoa. Well, I was going to talk 00:17:06.059 --> 00:17:09.539 about that too. First of all, this might be the 00:17:09.539 --> 00:17:12.140 first haunted attraction that I actually go to 00:17:12.140 --> 00:17:15.299 with my family because, you know, a lot of haunted 00:17:15.299 --> 00:17:18.779 attractions portray it as We want you to be scared. 00:17:19.140 --> 00:17:21.059 We want to scare the shit out of you. We don't 00:17:21.059 --> 00:17:23.279 care about your trauma. We don't care. And then 00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:24.740 you have, you know, you're an adult. So then 00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:26.440 you sit there and you go, well, I can't act scared. 00:17:26.579 --> 00:17:29.579 I've got to be strong. I love that you guys are 00:17:29.579 --> 00:17:33.019 thinking of everybody involved and saying, Hey, 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.359 yes, we want to scare the crap out of you, but 00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:39.359 it's safe because sometimes you don't know. who's 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:41.559 behind the scenes, and is it really safe? You 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:44.400 don't know. So I love that. You were talking 00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:47.980 about some of the newer themes, and one of them 00:17:47.980 --> 00:17:53.660 is the chaos unleashed unpredictability, which 00:17:53.660 --> 00:17:55.539 seems like the antithesis of what we were just 00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:57.700 talking about. What does that entail? So chaos 00:17:57.700 --> 00:18:00.859 is a full -on activation. There are a number 00:18:00.859 --> 00:18:02.140 of people who are like, I've never seen this 00:18:02.140 --> 00:18:07.000 anywhere. It is new. It is new. It is a crazy 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:10.680 concept that was thought up and I was like, let's 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:15.200 try it. Let's do it. It is all of our high energy 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:19.119 actors that we love and adore that are in certain 00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:22.220 attractions or they're part of our already existing 00:18:22.220 --> 00:18:27.390 lot monsters. They... a few times a night have 00:18:27.390 --> 00:18:30.609 a very special overlay show that happens in one 00:18:30.609 --> 00:18:33.130 part of our Midway, and they just take over. 00:18:33.369 --> 00:18:37.990 And in that time, it is terror, right? There 00:18:37.990 --> 00:18:41.390 is all sorts of lights and sounds and extra fog 00:18:41.390 --> 00:18:44.269 and other effects that are coming out. And there's, 00:18:44.269 --> 00:18:48.470 you know, it's chaos. It is chaotic. It is crazy. 00:18:48.509 --> 00:18:52.829 And then it's done. And everybody that's... participated 00:18:52.829 --> 00:18:55.710 or stayed right there, um, are either like right 00:18:55.710 --> 00:18:57.509 in the heart of it because they run right in 00:18:57.509 --> 00:19:00.250 or they stay kind of on the outskirts and kind 00:19:00.250 --> 00:19:04.970 of watch others interacting or they're like, 00:19:04.970 --> 00:19:07.930 no, I hear that, that, that siren. I'm good. 00:19:07.990 --> 00:19:11.109 I'm going in line. I, I, I'm going to hear the 00:19:11.109 --> 00:19:13.849 screams from a distance. All good. Right. So 00:19:13.849 --> 00:19:18.490 it's, it's made to be that way. Right. It's like 00:19:18.490 --> 00:19:22.690 the rainforest cafe. Every half hour, it pretends 00:19:22.690 --> 00:19:25.349 there's a storm, except you just scare the shit 00:19:25.349 --> 00:19:27.650 out of people. Exactly. But it's also a chance 00:19:27.650 --> 00:19:29.650 for like, we have a couple of different iconic 00:19:29.650 --> 00:19:31.269 characters and characters that people follow 00:19:31.269 --> 00:19:34.250 on social media and TikTok. And you know, our 00:19:34.250 --> 00:19:36.430 socials are really large and they have a large 00:19:36.430 --> 00:19:37.950 following. And they've also got a lot of people 00:19:37.950 --> 00:19:41.490 that are very involved with it as well. And they're 00:19:41.490 --> 00:19:46.430 fans. But two of our scratches and slashes are 00:19:46.430 --> 00:19:49.650 two of our clown style characters in the premier 00:19:49.650 --> 00:19:53.470 way. And they are, they like head up the chaos. 00:19:54.670 --> 00:19:56.789 many times people are like, where are they? Where 00:19:56.789 --> 00:19:58.309 are they? Why can't I take a picture with them? 00:19:58.369 --> 00:20:00.569 You know, that has also helped that as well. 00:20:00.569 --> 00:20:03.369 Now we know where they are. We know when they're 00:20:03.369 --> 00:20:05.650 coming out. You also know that, you know, once 00:20:05.650 --> 00:20:08.130 you hear that noise, that is your time. That 00:20:08.130 --> 00:20:10.329 is when they are doing that performance piece 00:20:10.329 --> 00:20:15.109 and then they're around right after that. That's 00:20:15.109 --> 00:20:17.910 outstanding. Is there, are there certain elements 00:20:17.910 --> 00:20:23.299 or circumstances that somebody knows when to 00:20:23.299 --> 00:20:26.920 go, hey, it's time for unleashed unpredictability 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:29.259 or, or is it just random every single night? 00:20:29.420 --> 00:20:31.599 I will obviously we have a schedule behind the 00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:34.440 scenes. So like we know what's happening. Um, 00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:36.900 but there are times that we add extra shows in, 00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:40.240 uh, we do it when there's, there's a lot of people 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:42.720 on the property or, you know, we know that a 00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:44.559 lot of people have kind of done at least two 00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:46.559 of the attractions and you know, this is their 00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:48.240 time. They've just taken a break and they're 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:49.819 getting food or they're watching the outdoor 00:20:49.819 --> 00:20:51.819 movie or they're just like, hanging out by the 00:20:51.819 --> 00:20:53.880 fire, right? This is the way to kind of jump 00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:56.440 start that experience again, and you know, get 00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:58.880 that blood pumping and get ready for that adrenaline 00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:03.660 rush. That is as crazy. Are you able to peel 00:21:03.660 --> 00:21:05.700 the curtain back a little bit? What kind of things 00:21:05.700 --> 00:21:08.759 go on when when this? Yeah, so I will a little 00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:10.480 bit only because we've started putting it all 00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:14.660 over social media as well. I don't want you to 00:21:14.660 --> 00:21:16.619 give it away. I don't want to be that bad. There's 00:21:16.619 --> 00:21:18.759 a whole soundtrack, a custom soundtrack that 00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:23.180 we made and it will let you know that chaos is 00:21:23.180 --> 00:21:27.500 released and that it's activated and that be 00:21:27.500 --> 00:21:31.279 prepared because here is the time. Right beforehand, 00:21:32.420 --> 00:21:38.000 insider tip, fog will be dispersed into the midway 00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.180 and you will start to see this team kind of getting 00:21:41.180 --> 00:21:44.720 set for it. Yes, and so you'll know that's when 00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:46.559 the lights and the sound and all that other stuff 00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:50.759 are starting. I need this for when my kids get 00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:54.099 home from school. You know, an alarm goes off, 00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:59.500 chaos about to begin. You do have some other 00:21:59.500 --> 00:22:02.119 new themes for 2025. I don't know if you wanted 00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:07.319 to talk about those a little bit. Hold on one 00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:11.200 second. Okay, sorry. We've got all sorts of great 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:14.359 things happening. even though it's like our last 00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:19.720 week, but we, yeah. So Harvest of Shadows is 00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:21.480 what is happening in our labyrinth right now. 00:22:21.539 --> 00:22:24.359 Our labyrinth is our haunted maze. That is the, 00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:28.920 it is a usually heavy themed area of twists and 00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:31.559 turns. And, you know, it's probably one of our 00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:36.240 more chaotic. attractions. And that one is it 00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:39.740 is very lively. It is a lot of energy and they 00:22:39.740 --> 00:22:44.140 are having a great time with that theme. Our 00:22:44.140 --> 00:22:47.619 outdoor trail right now is infestation. And that 00:22:47.619 --> 00:22:51.619 has to do more with like mutation and a new fear 00:22:51.619 --> 00:22:55.099 that I didn't even know that I had of like holes, 00:22:55.380 --> 00:22:58.059 like the holes in the skin and like, you know, 00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:01.920 I had that I had that. until like one of our 00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:04.779 actors walked out and had this great like makeup 00:23:04.779 --> 00:23:07.460 and prosthetic. And I was like, I don't like 00:23:07.460 --> 00:23:11.200 that. So that's crazy that you just said that 00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:15.039 because there was a couple of years ago, my wife 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:17.359 was eating a grapefruit. And when she got done, 00:23:17.380 --> 00:23:19.059 there were a bunch of holes in it. And I just 00:23:19.059 --> 00:23:20.740 remember, I was like, oh, I don't like looking 00:23:20.740 --> 00:23:23.819 at that. And then I saw like the honeycomb or 00:23:23.819 --> 00:23:27.500 like a, not a honeycomb, like a bee's nest with 00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:29.259 all the holes. And I remember thinking that was 00:23:29.259 --> 00:23:31.220 freaky. And then I was on the phone with my mother 00:23:31.220 --> 00:23:33.099 and she explained how she's like, I just found 00:23:33.099 --> 00:23:34.539 out I have this thing where like, I don't like 00:23:34.539 --> 00:23:37.559 holes. And I said, that's what I have. I've never 00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:39.279 met anyone else other than my mother that has 00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:44.799 had that. It's real. It's a real thing. That 00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:48.019 you could do an entire theme park of things with 00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:51.019 holes in it. And I would be terrified. But anyway, 00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:55.640 I could go down that road, but I won't. So I 00:23:55.640 --> 00:24:00.679 show up to the park my first time. Is it? once 00:24:00.679 --> 00:24:03.480 you're in, are you guaranteed to see every attraction 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:05.900 or do you kind of choose? How does that work? 00:24:05.940 --> 00:24:08.700 Once you are here, you have ticketing options, 00:24:08.859 --> 00:24:10.740 right? We obviously suggest that you see all 00:24:10.740 --> 00:24:12.700 four. That's the full night of fear with us. 00:24:13.140 --> 00:24:16.339 But you get to come in. Hydrate to the box office. 00:24:17.259 --> 00:24:20.599 We have VIP options available as well as our 00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:23.700 all four attractions. Then once you're in, depending 00:24:23.700 --> 00:24:26.160 on how the night is going, we try to help tailor 00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:28.519 the best show possible, right? So if we're telling 00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:31.049 you, hey, start with this attraction. end with 00:24:31.049 --> 00:24:33.930 this attraction. It's usually because for us, 00:24:34.069 --> 00:24:36.450 we've checked that and we want the best experience 00:24:36.450 --> 00:24:38.630 for our customers. And so that's how you're kind 00:24:38.630 --> 00:24:40.849 of guided through the night. There are our super 00:24:40.849 --> 00:24:43.210 fans that know exactly what they want to do, 00:24:43.210 --> 00:24:45.750 how they want to do it. And by all means, you 00:24:45.750 --> 00:24:48.930 guys go right ahead and do that. Our last ticket 00:24:48.930 --> 00:24:51.970 sells right at 10 p .m. So after that, attractions 00:24:51.970 --> 00:24:55.990 start closing shortly thereafter. So, you know, 00:24:56.349 --> 00:25:00.549 we let people kind of do their own thing. for 00:25:00.549 --> 00:25:03.650 the most part, and get the experience that they 00:25:03.650 --> 00:25:10.970 want. That's fantastic. Nicole Ginsburg, Frightmare 00:25:10.970 --> 00:25:12.690 Farms, just a couple more questions and we'll 00:25:12.690 --> 00:25:14.849 get you out of here. I know you're busy, but 00:25:14.849 --> 00:25:19.910 I'm just fascinated by all of this. Now, I noticed 00:25:19.910 --> 00:25:21.410 in the beginning of the interview you talked 00:25:21.410 --> 00:25:24.549 about how you found this love for scaring and 00:25:24.549 --> 00:25:27.900 haunted houses. I have other friends and acquaintances 00:25:27.900 --> 00:25:30.200 that are kind of in this world with you. And 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.099 it seems like, I don't know, is there a moment, 00:25:33.259 --> 00:25:36.559 does something happen that triggers it? And once 00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:39.299 it happens, what is it that drives that love 00:25:39.299 --> 00:25:42.059 and that passion for it? Do you just love scaring 00:25:42.059 --> 00:25:45.660 people or is it the getting to dress up? What 00:25:45.660 --> 00:25:48.700 is the ambition? So I'm going to give you a really 00:25:48.700 --> 00:25:54.240 rare answer. My drive and ambition from it is 00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:57.079 actually that life itself is really hard. It 00:25:57.079 --> 00:25:59.640 is really scary. And there are so many things, 00:25:59.940 --> 00:26:03.440 real things that are happening in this world. 00:26:03.859 --> 00:26:07.099 And for me, even when I started, I was terrified. 00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:09.039 I'm not even kidding. There's stories like when 00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:11.440 we first started of me going through with like 00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:14.279 huge things of water and a flashlight. And I 00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:16.420 was joking, but also serious. I was like, scare 00:26:16.420 --> 00:26:19.309 me and I'll fire you because I was so. It's scared, 00:26:19.329 --> 00:26:21.049 right? And it used to be like your favorite thing 00:26:21.049 --> 00:26:25.109 to try to do. Now though, I have learned how 00:26:25.109 --> 00:26:28.230 to control myself. Like I can be scared at any 00:26:28.230 --> 00:26:30.769 point. I know how to like get my body to that 00:26:30.769 --> 00:26:33.589 point where I can control my stress level and 00:26:33.589 --> 00:26:36.509 control anger and things like that, and be able 00:26:36.509 --> 00:26:40.150 to just kind of relax and have fun. For me, learning 00:26:40.150 --> 00:26:44.529 how to do that gave me even more... motivation 00:26:44.529 --> 00:26:47.109 and fire to keep producing at the level that 00:26:47.109 --> 00:26:50.329 we're producing, right? We don't sell tickets. 00:26:50.549 --> 00:26:53.910 We sell joy. We sell memories. We sell time with 00:26:53.910 --> 00:26:57.710 family. We sell our creations, right? And we're 00:26:57.710 --> 00:27:01.609 getting to create and spend time and, you know, 00:27:01.609 --> 00:27:05.170 do all these other things with people, people 00:27:05.170 --> 00:27:08.490 that before they come here are, you know, fighting 00:27:08.490 --> 00:27:11.829 to pay bills are had a really stressful day at 00:27:11.829 --> 00:27:14.380 work. Kids that went to school and are either 00:27:14.380 --> 00:27:16.720 getting bullied or having a hard time, right? 00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:19.599 Whatever it is, we have created something that 00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:22.240 allows people to drop that right at the door 00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:26.460 and to come into a world that we help control 00:27:26.460 --> 00:27:30.579 how they feel at that very moment. That's powerful 00:27:30.579 --> 00:27:34.579 in so many ways, but that's also why Halloween 00:27:34.579 --> 00:27:36.380 I think has always been important and why so 00:27:36.380 --> 00:27:38.279 many people are attracted to Halloween, right? 00:27:38.430 --> 00:27:41.130 It's that one night a year, right? But when you 00:27:41.130 --> 00:27:44.250 look at it, it is, yes, the colors are beautiful. 00:27:44.509 --> 00:27:47.029 Yes, this and that, all of these positive things, 00:27:47.250 --> 00:27:49.250 but it's usually cold, it's usually rainy, it's 00:27:49.250 --> 00:27:53.509 usually miserable, right? However, even those 00:27:53.509 --> 00:27:58.769 things, as a kid, you very much learned how to 00:27:58.769 --> 00:28:03.569 look past all of that and find the joy. in something 00:28:03.569 --> 00:28:06.730 that's actually scary and something that is actually 00:28:06.730 --> 00:28:09.390 terrifying and something that's actually supposed 00:28:09.390 --> 00:28:15.549 to be not fun, right? But we learned that at 00:28:15.549 --> 00:28:19.769 a very early age. And so for me, that's my motivation 00:28:19.769 --> 00:28:21.970 and my psychology behind it is like, wait a minute, 00:28:22.410 --> 00:28:24.849 this is a larger metaphor all the way around. 00:28:25.029 --> 00:28:27.470 And even for myself, learning to overcome that 00:28:27.470 --> 00:28:31.880 fear really I saw like a mug one day that was 00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:33.839 like, life begins just outside your comfort zone. 00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:38.559 And I was like, huh, buddy, it really does. It 00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:42.720 really does, right? And so that's why I do what 00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:47.660 I do and why I love it. Such a great answer. 00:28:47.819 --> 00:28:49.359 And you know, it's funny because I'm sitting 00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:53.740 here as you're speaking, I'm like. your competition 00:28:53.740 --> 00:28:56.720 is almost reality because what I'm reading in 00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:59.500 the news daily is scarier than any haunted house 00:28:59.500 --> 00:29:01.680 that I could go through or a haunted attraction. 00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:04.579 I was lucky enough to do an interview with a 00:29:04.579 --> 00:29:07.259 very large news station about this a year or 00:29:07.259 --> 00:29:10.720 so ago regarding haunted house themes and trends 00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:14.200 and behind the scenes and behind the industry 00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:17.240 and I've had deeper conversations about this 00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:21.549 of actually where we help go. because it very 00:29:21.549 --> 00:29:25.049 much is influenced by real life. Serial killers, 00:29:25.430 --> 00:29:27.589 zombies, all that are not scary right now, because 00:29:27.589 --> 00:29:29.589 that's our real life. That's our real world. 00:29:29.970 --> 00:29:33.230 However, aliens, witches, and dinosaurs, nobody's 00:29:33.230 --> 00:29:35.930 ever really seen those. Those are really scary 00:29:35.930 --> 00:29:39.849 right now. True. Right? Yeah, right. Not yet. 00:29:40.970 --> 00:29:47.960 Not yet. Yeah. Real quick. I feel like this is 00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:50.240 kind of a hack question, but I have to ask it. 00:29:50.660 --> 00:29:54.440 What is the craziest reaction you've seen from 00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:57.440 somebody who's come to Frightmare Farm? Oh my 00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:00.359 God. I mean, there's always the yellow badge 00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:03.019 and brown badges, right? That people will get. 00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:06.039 Uh huh. Yeah, that's not even the craziest. I 00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:11.900 think one of the craziest is, oh my gosh. I mean, 00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:14.039 there's always the fall on the floor and crawl 00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:18.480 out. There's always the you know whatever um 00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:21.819 we've had people that have you know the fear 00:30:21.819 --> 00:30:23.619 reaction of you know reaching out and touching 00:30:23.619 --> 00:30:27.519 an actor by the way don't do that please um but 00:30:27.769 --> 00:30:30.990 I think like the most crazy would be like somebody 00:30:30.990 --> 00:30:32.930 that has gotten so scared they turned around 00:30:32.930 --> 00:30:34.769 and gone all the way back out to the entrance 00:30:34.769 --> 00:30:36.509 and just like ran out the entrance and they like 00:30:36.509 --> 00:30:39.509 couldn't couldn't handle it right um but you 00:30:39.509 --> 00:30:41.470 know again that's been years since we've done 00:30:41.470 --> 00:30:43.089 that normally with people like that somebody 00:30:43.089 --> 00:30:44.670 identifies and they're like nope here you go 00:30:44.670 --> 00:30:47.849 here's a dump zone right all good like we want 00:30:47.849 --> 00:30:53.190 you to be safe absolutely awesome frightmare 00:30:53.190 --> 00:30:56.400 farms You're going into your last weekend.

We do love parents 00:31:29.890 --> 00:31:31.710 to just come out and hang out while their kids 00:31:31.710 --> 00:31:34.250 go through attractions.

Obviously, you're in Palermo, 00:32:36.250 --> 00:32:37.769 New York. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere. 00:32:38.190 --> 00:32:40.569 Is that because it makes it more scary? Or is 00:32:40.569 --> 00:32:43.190 that so when people are screaming, nobody calls 00:32:43.190 --> 00:32:44.670 the cops? Or is it kind of a mixture of both? 00:32:44.690 --> 00:32:47.150 It's kind of a mixture of both. I mean, we wanted 00:32:47.150 --> 00:32:52.089 a large area. opportunity to grow and that's 00:32:52.089 --> 00:32:56.390 how we ended up here. Yeah. All right. Last question. 00:32:56.490 --> 00:33:01.130 Got to ask favorite horror character of all time. 00:33:01.289 --> 00:33:04.250 It would be Frankenstein. I'm a classic monster. 00:33:04.369 --> 00:33:09.970 Really? Classic. I love that. Now is Frankenstein 00:33:09.970 --> 00:33:12.390 the monster or the scientist? Cause there's only 00:33:12.390 --> 00:33:14.250 that debate. Mine would be Frankenstein's monster. 00:33:15.509 --> 00:33:20.160 The monster. Okay. I love that. That is fantastic. 00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:25.299 Nicole Ginsburg, Frightmare Farms. It has been 00:33:25.299 --> 00:33:28.880 an absolute pleasure. Check them out on all social 00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:32.819 media.

They're they look very, you 00:33:47.009 --> 00:33:49.349 know, they're very emaciated. They're hungry 00:33:49.349 --> 00:33:51.630 looking. Alright, so I'm going to go ahead and 00:33:51.630 --> 00:33:55.269 plug a movie that my my son is actually in is 00:33:55.269 --> 00:33:58.829 a 44 by the vegan zombie and it is a wonderful 00:33:58.829 --> 00:34:02.230 film that just launched this year and you should 00:34:02.230 --> 00:34:05.190 definitely take a look at it if you are into 00:34:05.190 --> 00:34:07.990 that because for sure it's a great movie. It's 00:34:07.990 --> 00:34:10.989 available on Amazon, YouTube, all the fun things. 00:34:12.329 --> 00:34:14.829 Yeah. All right, last, last, last question. Favorite 00:34:14.829 --> 00:34:18.889 horror movie? It would be Trick or Treat. Yes. 00:34:19.349 --> 00:34:22.429 Really? Favorite regular Halloween movie? Great 00:34:22.429 --> 00:34:27.409 question.
