About Dark Carousel Podcast

The Dark Carousel Podcast is a raw, emotional journey into the world of haunted attractions and the people who bring fear to life. Hosted by Arthur and Steve, it dives deep into the stories behind the masks, where trauma, passion, and art collide. Each guest shares not just haunt tales, but personal struggles, triumphs, and transformations. It’s about more than scares, it' about healing through horror, finding identity in performance, and building a family out of fear. This isn’t just entertainment, it' a passion, a legacy, and a tribute to the misfits who make the monsters come alive.

   Halloween isn’t just a season. For some of us, it’s a way of life. On this episode of The Dark Carousel Podcast, we welcome Halloween Haunts 365 for a conversation that goes far beyond haunted attraction reviews.Behind the cameras and reviews are two individuals who share a genuine love for the haunt industry. They’re not just there to rate attractions or tell you where to spend your money. They’re there to build relationships, support fellow haunters, share stories, and become part of the community that makes this industry so special.We dive into their journey, the friendships they’ve built, the experiences that have shaped them, and what it truly means to be a haunter.Because at the end of the day, it’s not about who’s got the biggest haunt or the scariest attraction. It’s about the people behind the masks, the passion that brings us together, and the family we find along the way.We’re not just haunt fans. We’re haunters. And this carousel will never stop spinning. 🎠
